Pica
Pica develop their products to be helpful tools for daily professional use. This requires highest quality in construction, material selection and workmanship. Their pencils are made to be like your favourite tool: durable, economic and with a product design you find real pleasure in every single day.
Pica Markers innovative capacity is made visible in various world’s first:
Pica invented the “deep hole marker” and the “turnable nib”. Pica-Ink is the only marker with removable writing nib, so you can turn the dried out nib easily, giving your marker a second life, as it soon regenerates all by its own.
Another invention, exclusively available in every Pica-Ink is the “telescope tip”. Just like a slidable telescope, the guiding tube adjusts to the nib length over a range of 7 mm for a triple life span of the sensible writing nib.
The blueprint of a “quiver-like-cap” was not known until Pica marker invented it. Pica-Dry holds another novelty with technical ambition in its robust sharpener, integrated into the cap for a perfect function.
The latest unique development of Pica is the Pica BIG Dry, the first mechanical pencil for giant square leads, built tough for heavy duty. It is protected against dust and moisture and offers an extremely long marking capacity with every single lead.
Again, Pica marker took new ground presenting Pica VISOR – a board marking system based on dry gel crayon – for simple dry erase, but impossible to dry out.

Good pencil, my second one now however I was less impressed with customer service, the end came lose and I lost it, contacted them and they sent me a link about a pack of 5 replacement plastic ends that cost nearly as much as the pencil. It costs them next to nothing to make them yet the cost is around £8 for 5, going to change next time as I am not impressed with after sales.

Good quality mechanical pencil. Great for first fix work but I find it a bit too thick for second fix work so I use a Tracer pencil for thinner lines.

In simple terms - expensive propelling pencils. In real terms - great for general site use and deep marking etc and over time costs less than Sharpies etc because you're more inclined to look after it and not lose it.

I have both a pen and pencil. The pens are great they give a good clear mark and if not abused definitely last longer than other markers. The pencil are great too and the choice of coloured lead makes the marks stand out

The most impressive pencil on the market, great for rough work all the way to fine work. 2.8mm graphite led, the holder that has an impressive clip to hold on to your pocket has a sharpener on the end of it for fine work. You simply purchase refills and feed them in to the back of the pencil. I have had mine for years now and it’s still going strong.

Clever tools and they’ve expanded and mastered a field that many have attempted and underperformed in.
The pencil will fit easily in a 6mm hole and is long enough to mark where no other product would come close.
Will be expanding the collection soon.

Great for marking deep holes on sanitary ware, and general marking, clips into my trouser pocket and it’s there when I need it, different options for marking, standard lead, red, yellow green, blue and white gives a good colour selection to mark what ever material you wish, marking out for wet and dry work, the wet grade is useful when cutting tiles with a wet cutter, clear mark that stays visible unlike most of the other markers I’ve used, you can just wipe it off when the cuts are completed. Handy to have. I also have their felt tip marker which is great for marking drill holes in tiles and marking our toilet pans on solid floors.

They’re great pens and pencils but the only thing I’ve found is they cost an arm and a leg for what they are, pens can’t be messed with but if you just want a long reach pencil I’d go for hultafors or tracer, much cheaper and do the same thing

It's the only pencil iv managed to keep long than a week. So easy to keep as it comes with its protective holster that clips into your pocket keeping it from just falling out

I was a big hesitant to buy at first as I thought it was a gimmick. But I'm glad to be proven wrong. Cracking marking tools l, the mechanical pencil is brilliant.

Marking at it's finest, wet or dry it will never fail. Once you try this marker you will never use another. Would definitely recommend this pen

Important tools in the tool box, lead hardly breaks, much better than a standard pencil. Like the fact you can get multi coloured leads. Can be really handy, shame I drop mine down a gavity this week. Just ordered another though

Love my Pica pencils.
Unlike normal pencils the tip hardly breaks, you can push it out into deeper holes, it comes with a sharpener and plenty of refills and comes with a handy holder. Highly recommended

Fantastic products! The main reason I first purchase the pencils was because I was fed up of always losing mine, with the Pica pencils being the cost they are and coming with the handy holster I always makes sure it goes back in my pocket. I’ve had mine for 2 years now and still as good as the day I bought it. I’d highly recommend it

I bought my pica pencil just over a year ago and still haven’t lost it. That some result for me. It has a great clip that stays put in my pocket and marks on all sorts of surfaces.
Would highly recommend it

I found out about Pica a few months ago and It has changed my world. As an installer for plumbing and heating, the pencils can have interchangeable colours which in turn can work on boiler flues or different coloured tiles. So every Mark will show up and with an adjustable clicker the pencil nib can be extended to get into any depth of recess. Also comes with a pencil sharpener too, so it can always stay sharp, if needed. Great product and really happy with it.
