Shootout Between Pica VS Dixon Deep Hole Pencils -Comparing useful pencils in the woodworking shop.

This is a "shootout" comparing the Pica and Dixon Deep Hole Pencils - They are both useful in the woodworking shop. In this video I compare most of the features of these two pencils as well as their strengths and weaknesses. Since I have no connection to either company this is an honest review. While I’ve found both pencils to be handy I do have one clear winner in this “shoot out” that earns a permanent place in my apron.
