STRIKER NO-SHARPEN CONSTRUCTION PENCIL combines the functionality of a mechanical pencil with the durability of a carpenter's pencil. The key to its long-lasting use is Dura-Lead, which is 18-percent thicker than average lead, according to the company. Housed in a tough ABS plastic body, the Striker pencil includes a push-button top that makes it easy to advance the lead as it wears down. The Striker, with one stick of Dura-Lead, retails for $2.29. The pencil, with five sticks, sells for $3.69. A tube containing four sticks of Dura-Lead is priced at $1.99.
