Projects start here- Measuring

Every project starts with measuring and marking out your components.
Here are some of what we consider to be basics for every toolkit and store.

  • Pencils - for initial marking and cutting to size
  • Knives - for marking in hard surfaces and stopping breakout
  • Squares  - measuring and angles

Make your first marks with pencil - simple and easy to change.
We have 3 packs to choose from:

Pencils


  • 56600 Quality pack of 6 contractors pencils - medium hardness

We like these for fine marking and a thicker blade for deeper cuts.
