Brad's full review of the Hultafors Mechanical Pencil after 1 year of use: th-cam.com/video/z5t1W1PI-zQ/w-d-xo.html
Most of the time you have to take out the hultafors to sharpen as well, depending on your pouch I run the milwaukee suspended rig with a wiha pouch on the right, you’d have to wear an overall or run the sheath and pen on opposite sides, also the wax leads will melt in 90’+ heat
Thank you for the very thorough comparison. I have the Pica marker for deep holes, like it real well. Good that the Hultafors lead fits the Pica, thanks again !
Rich M glad you liked the video. The more I use the Pica the more I prefer it over the Haultafors. Thx for watching
Thanks! Super thorough and helpful.
You’re welcome, thanks for watching!
I have been using Pica for many years. The lead build up inside that was mentioned has never happened with any pica I've owned. The other question about the clip is the pica clip has never broken.
Great review. Really thorough. Thank you. Jd
thankyou!!
After trying both for several months now, I find my self gravitating more towards the Pica. Just feels more comfortable in my hand, plus you have that 360 degree grip vs. the sharp-sided Hultafors. Still, both great pencils.
That’s where I ended up as well. Thx for sharing
Great review. Thank you.
your welcome, and thanks for watching!
Great comparison. Amazing that something like this can be a subject for a video :) The Pica may roll off the table due to its roundness. The Hultafors will stay.
since the video i'm still always going for my Pica over the Hultafors,
I bougth pica in 2017(i think), and that one rolls off the table always, so I bought the hultafors.
But now I recently bought two new pica, mainly because I wanted white and red color, but noticed that they have changed its design, so it doesn't roll anymore, so it's much better now.
Thanks for a imformative video I've ordered both and I'll use one for graphite the other for coloured. The only question I ask is where did you get your Bib & Brace overall from they're just what I'm looking for! Thanks again.
I wear my carhartts every day! You can get them on Amazon here:

The internet is amazing. A 12 minute video about two pencils that do exactly the same: draw lines and dots (they might even come from the same Chinese factory). TLDW: If you like the color red, get the Hultafors, if you like the color green, get the Pica. Both of them do the same job, and have integrated sharpeners.
Pica has production in Germany :) also design and technical departement :)
or buy a pencil
My Hulfators pencil was made in Romania. Nothing Chinese here!
Nice review/comparison, answered all my questions & more! I'm gonna pick out a pica pencil and pen.
p.s. you probably already know but alcohol is good at picking up graphite and could help clean the Hultafors.
Great tip! thanks for watching :)
Have you Hultafors in the holster? The lead can be extended through the holster for use with a better holding solution
Broke one of my hultiforce clips bout 3rd way up still kinda works
I have the Hultsfors, I like how it's flat and feels like a wood carpenters pencil. Also I like the feature of the sleeve being shaped like a traditional pencil and having a hole in the bottom and it can still be used with the pencil n it.
I agree, i too like the feel of the Hultafors, for me i have noticed it really gets jammed up on the push button, have you experienced that?
Can any of these cool Mechanical Pencils. Be erased with a eraser on paper or what have You wood and so on. Thanks. Great Video also.
What is the diameter of the leads in mm?
Does anyone make a dedicated sharpener for these leads??
I know my Hultafors (and Pica) has the sharpener built in but they are just not really great... sorta like little kid pencil sharpeners. I was hoping the metal sleeve was the right size for my old school, Boston brand drafting pencil sharpener... but it's a crappy fit.
My pica’s retention wore out after a while, though it was the older model.
time will tell, hopefully it lasts.
I stopped at my local Woodcraft and bought both sizes of the pica pencils. One is shown in this video and the other is a larger carpenter pencil. I really like the small one for the workshop and the larger one for construction.
I need to try out that larger one. let me know if you like using it.
The problem with the Hultafors is that it is flat. That is not a good thing as it forces you to only use 2 sides of the tip, whereas the Pica can use 360 deg of the pencil, so you can "roll it around" when drawing a line and keep a sharp point.
Yes but pulling the pencle out of the case is easier because you have two angle sides to pull on
My hultafors was to tight in the beginning, then after 2 years its totaly loose, falling out if i turn it up side down. Gonna try the pica now
I went pica and haven’t looked back
Have the pica the lead got stuck very early after buying it ,i also have the dixon longreach way cheaper and very good going great a year on also comes with a tube of 10 leads .ps are they carhart overalls ? And what style .thanks
Interesting, may have to check out the dixon! And yes, they're carhartts, here's a link to the specific style: amzn.to/318R5Sj
Yes, rewatching this to see if someone made a comment on having the Dixon Reach as I just got one after getting tired of not being able to make pencil Mark's in holes. Really like the 2 in the review but I'm one of those guys that buys local if I can and my Lowes only had the Dixon and it seemed similar to the ones reviewed.
Sean Duncan I’m not familiar with that one. I love to support local as well especially the small tool stores that have been around for ever. Thanks for watching again 😊
Big advantage of Hultafors over Pica is that Hultafors doesn't roll over the table or sligtly leaning surface.
very true, Update!! i think i lost my Pica😳
Will the pica lead fit in the hultafors? I have pica lead and looking to buy hultafors pencil and not buy the lead. Thanks
I'm not sure! I've run out of the Pica lead actually so I can't test it for ya. I've been using Hultafors lead in my Pica pencil lately. I seem to recall Pica lead being a teeny bit thicker. But not totally sure.
I have had two of both. My first hultafors was a dissappointment. Lead got stuck all the time. Pencil holder was also too tight and when pulling pencil the whole package followed. Second hultafors was better but also too tight. If looked carefully it is evident in this video also. So i went back to pica. Sorry hultafors, you make some of my favorite tools.
I have both....i will use my perfectly designed Carpenters pencil.

Following this video I bought the Hultafors Pencil anyway. As I don’t normally work upside down I didn’t think Brads “falling out” issue would be a problem. Having used the pencil though I’ve found it doesn’t fall out anyway if you just drop it in!? Maybe Brad got a faulty one?
lol I guess you don't ever bend down or lean over when working then. It's inevitable for most types of construction.
The Hultafors pencil is designed that way to not roll off the workbench, or work platform!
Clip the pica so its hanging outside the pocket, that way you can still access the sharpener.
Good idea! Thanks for watching
Pica for me
Have you tried the Markal Pro?
No I haven't, is it any good?
@@hammerandhome I have not used it. It is an all-metal design and looks nicer than the Pica. I was hoping you tried it before. It seems to have great reviews on Amazon. You should try it out for your Channel.
@@flipwarrior thanks I’ll check it out!
I find it so very oh I don’t know odd. That if these Mechanical Pencils are used buy Carpenters. Why have I never seen them in Stores like Homedepot and so on and or possibly Walmart. Its just odd to me to say the least. Again great video.
Agreed it would be good if those stores stocked them but at least Amazon makes it easy
I live in Wisconsin, and I found the Hultafors at Fleet Farm
All the lumber stores and tool stores near me carry at least one of the two brands _-o-_
Ahh but the hultafors can be used without removing it from the case by extending the lead out through tip...
See you in 6 months.
Pica-Marker GmbH ok
Savage lol
Draw a PEN15.
Дааа, тяжёлый выбор между классным и классным!!!🤕😰🤔🤗🤭😂
Да я лучше доставать буду, чем в карман сыпаться будет графит!!!!
I have both and the Pica is definitely better, it has a dustproof mechanism. hultafors need to be cleaned frequently and the pica does not have this problem. I definitely do not recommend Lyra Dry pencils for 5 minutes.
my Pica keeps on going, never had an issue, I agree the hultafors definitely needs a good cleaning all the time
Graphite*
how the fuck each refils cost more then brand new full metal pencil from china? i ll better pay for 10 china pencils then pay for a pack of refils. what the actually fuck?
Got 3 of them...
1 Hultafors
2 Pica dry
1 Tracer professional
The only one that still works is the Hultafors.
Both of my pica's don't feed the pencil 🤬 1 doesn't even hold the pencil! The same for the Tracer professional. Getting sick of these pencils...
it interesting how many people have different experiences with each pencil. best of luck
too many bs ads
