    When fitting lvt or laminate what pencil or pens does everyone use? Just whatever’s closest or do use have a certain type I purchased the acer pen and pencil package which was good for about a week then the pen ran out but the pencil just pushed in all the time. Cheers

    Pica pencil. £15... you wont leave it around because its expensive... therefore you will always have a pencil. That's my theory... had mine over a year now

    Pen and masking tape on darker floors, festool pencil on most others, it's a pica pencil, but the sharpener is in the end of the holder rather than the button on top of the pencil, which i found became loose after a while
