Disappearing pencil no more...

Make sure you or anyone else in the shop has their safety glasses on when you let the pencil go. Please write up a review, all of us will be waiting.

I’ve got one of these and it works fairly well, IF i remember to use it. LOL

Watch out for the rubber cup separating from the end of the pencil. That sucker will snap you for sure.

This is interesting. A review of this would be nice to see.

Yeah, this is going to be interesting, let us know how it works.

How much tension does it pull on the pencil with? I’ve seen these before, but was afraid I would misplace IT!

Today I attached a brand new, sharpened pencil to the pencil tool. It works, and I give it two enthusiastic thumbs up!

Next, I examined my tool belt. Someone mentioned that the retractable pull might endanger my baby blues, so I looked further down and figured on the tool belt. It has a metal clip that I suppose is used to hold the measuring tape, but I prefer to put the tape on the front pouch (like Norm), so I figured the clip would hold the pencil holder… it does!

More on my examination of this simple but potentially valuable tool later…

Just wait until you are climbing up a ladder or catch the pencil on something else and extend the pencil retriever to it’s max then it lets loose and snaps you in the teeth or someplace worse!! Then you will not think it is such a handy tool.

I had one and I tossed it after getting ‘snapped’ one too many times! But, I used to clip it on my shirt pocket.

One last update… I have decided that I will be more disciplined with my pencils. That gizmo looked good in the store, but the first time I pulled the pencil, the pencil holder came right along with it.

Another $1.99 down the toilet…

My son wanted one and I thought I’d get one for myself. then i saw the price and i decided to buy a dozen pencils instead.

It’s a shame that thing didn’t work. I thought it would be a cure for the pencil in the apron that I stab myself with when I turn the wrong way.
