Whether you are setting out a cut line on timber, transferring a datum across a wall or locating a centre on metal, the right marking tool helps you work to tight tolerances and cut down on costly rework.

This category brings together Bahco carpenters pencils, lines and pins, and punches, so you can choose the tool to suit the material and the task, from rough site marking to precise workshop layout.

Bahco Marking Tools Features and Benefits

• Flat carpenters pencil profile: stops the pencil rolling off joists, rafters and workbenches, and gives you both broad and fine lines from the same tool.
• Durable, workable leads: marks stay visible on rough timber and sawn surfaces, so you can see your cut lines clearly.
• Line and pin sets: allow long, straight reference lines to be pulled quickly, which suits setting out across floors, walls and larger work areas.
• Hardened punch tips: create a defined indent in metal so drill bits and scribers start accurately without wandering.
• Hand-sized, practical designs: comfortable to hold and easy to keep in a pouch, apron or toolbox for everyday use.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose between a carpenters pencil and a punch?

Choose a carpenters pencil for visible marks on timber, boards and rough surfaces. Choose a punch when you need a physical indent in metal to guide a drill bit or scriber. Many tradespeople keep both to hand for mixed jobs.

When should I use a line and pins instead of a pencil?

Use a line and pins when you need a long, straight reference that a pencil and straight edge cannot easily achieve, such as marking out across a floor, along a wall or over a larger structure. For short cut lines and detail marking, a pencil is quicker.
