ox tools tuff carbon marking pencil review

Written By Zach Highfield

The Ox tuff carbon marking pencil is a very versatile marking tool. It writes on most surfaces the average working person may run into. Let's take a closer look.

I really appreciate the design of this marking pencil. It seems like they took into account the different environments that this would be used in. Strong belt clip/holder for secure storage. The body is squared so it won't roll away on you. Also, the sharpener built into the holder is very convenient.

Quick Specs


-Long life 2.8mm carbon lead for marking on all surfaces, wet or dry

-Made of high-quality pp/abs/stainless steel
-Stainless steel lead feed tube
-Integrated lead sharpener built into the cap

-Includes four different color leads


I have used this on many occasions to mark different types of metal including stainless steel, mild steel and aluminum. For this review I also tested it on glass, wood, concrete slab, and plastic. Easy to mark and also just as easy to wipe away with some water if you make a mistake.

I would recommend this to anyone looking for an easy marking pencil option. The average price of $12 may seem a little high. But for all of the features and as we have covered the marking versatility, this Ox tuff marking pencil is defiantly worth the price.
