People Also Ask — C.H. Hanson
Q: What makes a C.H. Hanson lumber crayon different from a regular marking pencil?
It's a wax-based crayon that writes clearly on rough, wet and oily surfaces including timber, concrete, metal and stone — conditions that stop a standard pencil or marker working. The large-diameter stick is easy to grip with gloves on, and it leaves bold, weather-resistant marks that stay visible in all site conditions. It's supplied in a 12-pack for trade use.
Q: Why is a carpenter pencil flat instead of round?
The rectangular profile stops the pencil rolling off sloped or uneven surfaces — a genuinely useful detail on scaffolding and roof work. The C.H. Hanson carpenter pencil pairs that flat body with a medium-hard graphite lead that holds a sharp point for accurate line marking on timber, drywall and sheet materials.
Q: What's the C.H. Hanson pencil holder for?
It's a spring-loaded holder that grips both crayons and carpenter pencils securely, keeping them accessible and preventing breakage in tool belts and pockets. The clip-on design attaches to shirt pockets, apron straps and harness webbing.
Q: How long has C.H. Hanson been making marking tools?
Since 1866 — over 150 years of experience building marking and layout tools that tradespeople, builders and industrial workers rely on for durable, visible marking on job sites.
Q: Is there a holder made specifically for the lumber crayon, separate from the pencil holder?
Yes — the C.H. Hanson Lumber Crayon Holder is a dedicated holder for the lumber crayon, sold alongside the crayon 12-pack, for ease of handling and to extend the crayon's usable life.
