Product Information

Full details

The Advent Green QuickDraw Automatic Trade Pencil is designed for professionals who need a reliable marking tool that writes on virtually any surface, especially for deep-hole marking. Its key benefit is the automatic lead advance mechanism for consistent, smooth marking without manual adjustment, while a potential caveat is its specialized nature for certain trade uses. This durable pencil features a stainless steel lead-feed tube, an integrated sharpener, and a high-visibility green design for easy location on job sites.

FAQs

What size lead does this pencil use?

The Advent Green QuickDraw Automatic Trade Pencil uses a 2.8 mm diameter lead.

How do I refill the lead?

To refill, remove the cap at the top of the pencil, insert a new 2.8 mm lead into the opening, and replace the cap.

Can this pencil be used on wet surfaces?

Yes, this pencil is designed to write on a variety of surfaces, including wet lumber and concrete.

Is the lead permanent?

The pencil writes on most surfaces, but permanence will vary depending on the material and environmental exposure. It is designed for marking, not necessarily for permanent labeling in all conditions.

How do I sharpen the lead?

There is an integrated sharpener located within the pencil's cap. Uncap the pencil and insert the lead into the sharpener, then twist gently.

What makes this pencil suitable for deep holes?

The design allows the lead to extend far enough to make marks inside holes that are too deep for standard pencils.

Is the green color just for aesthetics?

No, the bright green color is a high-visibility design feature to ensure the pencil is easily located on busy job sites, saving time.

Troubleshooting

Pencil lead does not advance.

Check if the lead is broken inside the tube or if the lead reservoir is empty. If empty, insert a new lead. If a lead is broken, try to carefully remove the obstruction or advance until the broken piece is pushed out.

Markings are faint or inconsistent.

The lead may be worn down or the surface being marked is extremely rough. Advance the lead further or use the integrated sharpener to maintain a fine point. Ensure you are pressing firmly enough on the surface.

Pencil lead breaks frequently.

Ensure you are not applying excessive pressure. Check that the lead is properly advanced and sharpened. Using the integrated sharpener can help maintain an optimal lead point.

The integrated sharpener is not working.

Ensure the lead is properly inserted into the sharpener mechanism within the cap. Remove any debris that might be obstructing the sharpener.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Advent Green QuickDraw Automatic Trade Pencil requires no complex setup. It comes ready to use with a lead installed. To advance the lead, simply press the button on the top of the pencil. If the lead needs replacement, follow these steps:

  1. Remove the cap at the top of the pencil.
  2. Insert a new 2.8 mm lead refill into the opening.
  3. Replace the cap.

To use the integrated sharpener, uncap the pencil and insert the lead into the sharpener located within the cap. Twist gently to sharpen.

Compatibility: This pencil uses a proprietary 2.8 mm lead diameter. Ensure you are using compatible refills to maintain performance. It is designed for marking on a wide range of materials including wood, concrete, metal, plastic, and glass.

Care: Keep the pencil clean from excessive dust and debris, which could potentially affect the automatic lead advance mechanism. Store in a dry place. Periodically check the lead-feed tube for obstructions. Clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth as needed.
