Pica pencils are very popular in the fine wood working world and there are like 5000 videos on them. So many videos it became a meme as everyone was reviewing them a year or two ago. I really wish they would make a white refill for the fine pencil for working on walnut. I prefer a .5mm mechanical pencil for wood working. However no one makes a white lead refill in this size, I still have hope pica eventually will (haven’t looked in a while, maybe they do now) Love the content keep it coming.

Oh dang, I had no idea. That said, I also didn't check. To be honest, I just kind of assumed there wouldn't be much, if anything on them in English. No regrets though, I enjoyed jumping in blindly. I don't have a catalog on them, but I'm hoping they make a fine tip paint marker. The white pencil has been my most used in the little time I've used them...very nice stuff!
@michaelschlarman7835Күн бұрын
@@lonestarmopars to be fair I haven’t seen anything on the markers and crayons. Just the pencil when they first came out, and just in the KZfaq realm of fine wood working and furniture building. So a lot of the content in this video was more unique for that reason. It was also nice to see it in a different context then wood working. I don’t think I’d have a use for the pencil on the more mechanical side. I wouldn’t have even mentioned this though if you didn’t bring it up in the video lol. You are definitely not the only one lol, as crazy as that might sound. I also learned pica was a German company in your video. Something I don’t think any of the reviews went over.

Haha, yep! It would have been sooner, but I've been pretty busy at work. Oddly enough, it has been the white pencil that I've used the most...really liking it. It is like a silver Sharpie, but much more fine.

I use the deep hole marker and the fat lead mechanical pencil for marking the holes of j-boxes, disconnects and panels. The deep hole marker doesn’t like cinder block wall surfaces. Chews up the tip if you’re not careful.

pica breaks my german heart :D yes i have em yes i also have fake ones yes there awesome for marking drill holes in tight spaces but a real german carpenter has the fat wide zimmerman´s (framery) pencils, i have a few of my grandpa and great grandpa who wore master carpenters and i even found american ones in a 70s mustang i restored (deep down in the quarter panels they pbly used it to mark high spots on bondos damn hackers :D ) .. renovation fix her upper kinda deal not knowing what awaits me or projects on multiplex that needs precision and soft drawing, yes picas ! old german woodwork hell no get ya old school carpenter pencil and sharpen it on the belt sander or utility knife and u better carve it down till theres nothing left (pride) :) pica is awesome because of yellow green and yellow for dark surfaces ! yes it may be kind of a german contractor standart now u see em all with neon green on their pants now ;) .. sensitive to me a fatty carpenters pencil has so much pride :D

I think I saw a Zimmerman pencil on Rothernberg's website when I was trying to find a new flare tool...didn't know the history of them. I'll have to try the yellow lead...the white has been seeing a lot of use the last week or so in the shop. Oh yeah, there is no telling what you find in old cars...50+ years will hide a lot!

Howdy from the Panhandle. Yeah, I sort of just jumped in and figured the rough overview would help people get a feel for some of their catalog before they just also jumped in blindly. Everything has been really nice so far...I've used everything but the crayons and signal marker. The white lead pencil has seen a lot of use (cutting black plastic) and has been a nice addition. I guess the standard pencil would also be the fanciest I have ever used...comfortable, writes well, and a bit bigger profile than the Bic pencils I grew up using. I think the standard pencil, multicolored lead (it is a slightly bigger pencil), and markers is a good place to start. Even if you hate the stuff you can still use it and move on...Good luck!

Nice, they are all pretty solid for the price. I would stay away from the multi-blade NWS...it is a great price, but I have never had anything that difficult to open (I've shown it in older videos). For a reasonably priced EDC, these are solid options. Spyderco was really popular when I was in high school...always wanted one, but the price was high, hence the Buck knife, lol. Can't complain as it was good to me as well.

the stahlwille bladestyle reminds me of a old buck knives or camillus or a similar pocket knife wich probably was one of my first 5 knives i won at the air rifle booth at the fair formerly schützenfest ;) sadly another german tradition that seems to die out here schützenfest as a kid was always way nicer than a big fair ..yes not so big new and shiny but i remember our dads would sip at the beertent while we kids burned our pocket money on the autoschooter and air rifle booth :D and nobody need to worry like nowadays and this was probably mid late 90s in cologne west germany :)

Great info! Again, the 80s/90s were good times. I can't think of the last time I saw a big knife near the meat counter...there use to be people in grocery stores that would demo stuff near the deli and meat counter...maybe it was just a Texas thing, but it made sense. I think the wooden handle ones feel vintage...they are probably unchanged from their original design. A lot of people would likely prefer them over the plastic handle, but for me the bigger, slimmer plastic is better in my pocket and they are all much easier/quicker to open. If you get bored, go find my haul with the multiblade NWS. Had to use pliers to open the thing, haha.

From their own website: "Astro Pneumatic Tool Co. warrants our products to the original user against defective material or workmanship for a period of 1 year from the date of first use." Nearly every Astro video I watch says lifetime and is WRONG. Now did Astro change the policy recently or are so many tool buyer/talker "professional reviewers" just that wrong from a lack of research?

I have the 3/8 sets up to 19 and that double box end ratchet wrench. I dislike the non reversible wrench. You need it for close quarters, so be careful and don't get it stuck! Plus the flex joint doesn't have detents, making it difficult to get it on the fastener that's already hard to get to. It does hold the sockets fairly well and is a decent length. Of course it would be much improved if it were reversible and locking. Also more expensive, I suppose. I use the sockets on my impact quite a bit and they work well on regular ratchets.
