Testimonials:
We recently participated in a product testing program through Handyman Club of America. Over 200 professionals tested our Striker Pencil with Dura Lead. Below are just a few comments noted in the test report. (Handyman Club of America Magazine August 2007)

Great product!  No more snapping the tip off the pencil and looking for a sharpener.  Always ready to go, comfortable design, easy to hold.  Doesn’t break even if you step on it and use any rough surface to get a sharp edge quick, can’t do that with any other lead pencil!!
- Marie CO

I have used the striker at work and at home and believe this is one of the best new ideas I’ve seen in a long time.  The ability to extend and retract the lead is a great idea and saves a lot of time sharpening broken tips and is easily used with one hand.
- Steve MI

All I can say is WOW! Where have you been all my life?  I hated throwing out wood pencils with only 1/3 left, it was too short to use.  Length never changes on Striker pencil body.
- Mr. Coelho TN

I like and recommend this Striker pencil.  It is real easy to use and carry.  You can clip it in your shirt pocket and it is there when you need it.  You can also extend the lead for hard to reach places that you need to mark.  The lead is strong and the striker is light weight.
- Marlin IL

It is very easy to get a sharp edge on the lead and it stays sharp for quite a long time.  Provides a consistent line without wearing or chipping.
- William NM

This is a great timesaving device on the job site.  There is no need to stop and resharpen your pencil, with one click you are ready to go again.
- Jimmy WV

It gives me the ability to lay out very tight lines on my project.  Very handy and easy to shape and sharpen on just about any rough surface.
- Jack TN

I have always looked for a more durable and easy to use pencil for my every day use-now I have it.  You can form the point anyway you like for more accurate and precise lines to heavier, thicker markings.  Great with dry wall to wood even concrete.

From the moment I saw it in its package I knew it was a hit.  At last a carpenter’s pencil I could slip in my shirt pocket, not to mention not having to take time from a project to sharpen my pencil.
- Mr. Danitz IA

Best invention yet, why didn’t they come out with this sooner?
- Michael PA

My job goes much faster now that I don’t have to stop to whittle a new point with my knife.
- Bill SC

Clips to your pocket fits in your hand with a sure grip and stays sharp.
- Mr. Gawenda IL

The Striker works as well as any pencil without having to constantly use my utility knife to sharpen it.  The size is just right to fit my pencil holder in my apron or even to clip in my shirt pocket.  It is easy enough to sharpen the point to get a fine line.  I was skeptical at first about the thickness of the lead, but now I feel that the thickness is the best feature.
- Mr. Giordano OH

Time to throw away the old and always dull traditional carpenters pencil.
- Pat CA

This is the greatest change for woodworkers since the power saw.  So easy to use and not any bigger than the standard wood ones.
- David FL

It was about time someone improved the common shop pencil!  This is what I call “pragmatic and hi-tech.”  This new pencil is simply magnificent, a time saver, great marking ability, excellent longevity, ergonomic grip and portability.  I have used it to mark wood, concrete, metal, cardboard and paper.  LOVE IT!
