The Pica Dry Longlife Automatic Pencil Marker with Summer Leads Refill Set (model 30417) is a refillable construction marker bundle that pairs the Pica Dry 3030 marker with a 4071 summer leads refill set in one blister pack. This is a refillable automatic pencil marker designed for marking wood, metal, stone, brick, plastic and tile in hot working conditions.

The summer leads are the reason to pick this bundle. They are waterproof and stay stable up to 158°F (70°C), which matters when your markers live in a hot truck, a metal gang box or a sunny roof deck. The refill set carries 10 leads, 5 red and 5 white, so you have a dark-surface color and a light-surface color in the same kit.

The Pica Dry marker itself is built for one-hand use. A push mechanism advances the 2.8 mm lead, a power lock mechanism holds it in place under marking pressure, and the integrated sharpener restores a fine point without a separate tool. Leads load from the back, which protects the advance mechanism and keeps reloads fast.

Each lead is 5" (125 mm) long, far longer than the usable length of a sharpened carpenter pencil, so one refill set goes a long way. The cap seals out dust and moisture, so the marker survives being tossed into a pouch with screws and drywall dust.

The Pica Dry platform takes the full range of Pica Dry refills, including water-soluble multi-use leads, water-jet-resistant leads for wet cutting and hardness H carpenter leads. Start with the summer leads in this bundle and swap to a different refill type when the job changes.

This bundle is best for framers, roofers, carpenters, metal fabricators and remodelers who work outdoors through the summer and are tired of markers that fail in the heat. Note that the summer leads are not made for glossy or glass-smooth surfaces.

The Pica Dry Summer Leads Bundle is the hot-weather marker setup
