Hultafors Dry marker in holster, roll stop, drained holster

The only marker here whose holster has a drain hole — and the only one that stops both halves rolling away.

Hultafors Dry Marker HDM pencil in its holster with built-in sharpener

Hultafors Dry marker in holster, roll stop, drained holster

The only marker here whose holster has a drain hole — and the only one that stops both halves rolling away.

Body and fittings
A ROLL STOP on BOTH the pencil and the holster, stated. Every other marker on this shelf that addresses rolling addresses only the pencil — and a holster left on a sloping surface rolls away with the sharpener inside it, which is the half nobody else thinks about
Also stated
A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE HOLSTER, stated to lead dirt and moisture away from the pen for longer durability. Nobody else on this shelf publishes drainage, and a closed holster on a wet day is a tube of water around a lead: it is the mechanism by which a holstered marker rots rather than wears
Functions
A sharp and accessible sharpener placed in the HOLSTER, stated, and Hultafors adds the reason: the marker is easy to remove from its holster so you do not have to let go of what you are working with. The sharpener staying behind is the point — one hand keeps hold of the work
Supplied
The dispenser is stated to double as a BLADE SNAPPER and to fit the handle of Hultafors SRP knives. A second function nobody else on this shelf has, and a real one: snapping a blunt snap-off blade without pliers is a daily job
Material
A grip-friendly ergonomic design, stated, and easy lead changes. No barrel material, no lead diameter, no lead color and no HARDNESS is published — fewer figures than any other marker here
Stated dimension or range
Not published. No tip diameter, no tip length and no lead count appears, and the shape of the holster is stated to keep the pen in place when you move

No lead diameter. No lead count. No lead color. No hardness. No tip dimensions.

A hole in the bottom of the holster

Which nobody else on this shelf publishes, and two of them sell holsters.

A holster is a tube. A tube that cannot drain holds water around a lead.

Worn on a belt in rain, carried through a wash-down, or used with wet hands all morning: it fills.

A lead sitting in that for a week swells, its sleeve softens, and the point crumbles when sharpened.

Hultafors states a hole specifically to lead dirt and moisture away from the pen.

And a roll stop on the holster too

Which is the half nobody else solves.

One other marker here has a triangular barrel so the PENCIL will not roll off a beam. Fair enough.

A holster put down on a roof, a scaffold board or a sloping windowsill rolls as well — and it takes the sharpener with it.

Both detailed here. Which is the kind of thing that only gets designed after somebody has watched a holster go off a roof.

The sharpener stays behind

So one hand keeps hold of the work.

The marker comes out of the holster; the sharpener is in the holster; the holster is on your belt.

Sharpen, mark, replace — without putting down the board you are holding.

And the dispenser snaps blades

A second function, and a daily one.

Snapping a blunt section off a snap-off blade without pliers is the job everybody does badly with a pair of side cutters or the edge of a step.

It also fits the handle of Hultafors SRP knives.

What the page never gives you is a number

No lead diameter, so a refill cannot be ordered by size — where two markers here publish 2.8 mm (0.11 in).

No lead count, no colors, no hardness, no tip diameter, no tip length.

Five bullets of one line each, all five about the holster.

At sixteen dollars, the most expensive marker on this shelf, that is a page written for somebody who already knows what a Hultafors lead is.

What gets asked here

Why does a hole in the holster matter?

Because a holster is a tube, and a tube that cannot drain holds water around a lead. A marker worn on a belt in rain, or carried through a wash-down, or simply used with wet hands all morning, fills its holster — and a 2.8 mm (0.11 in) lead sitting in that for a week swells, the wooden or polymer sleeve around it softens, and the point crumbles when sharpened. Hultafors states a hole in the bottom specifically to lead dirt and moisture away from the pen. Nobody else on this shelf publishes drainage of any kind, and two of them sell holsters.

What is a roll stop on the holster for?

The half that nobody else solves. One other marker on this shelf has a triangular barrel so the pencil will not roll off a beam — and that is the pencil. A holster put down on a roof, a scaffold board or a sloping windowsill rolls too, and it takes the sharpener with it. Hultafors states a roll stop on both. It is the kind of detail that only appears after somebody has watched a holster go off a roof, which is also true of the drain hole.

What is missing from this page?

Every number. No lead diameter — so a refill cannot be ordered by size, where two markers on this shelf publish 2.8 mm (0.11 in). No lead count supplied, no lead colors, no hardness, no tip diameter and no tip length. Five bullets of one line each, and all five describe the holster and the sharpener rather than the marking. At sixteen dollars, the most expensive marker here, that is a page about ergonomics sold to somebody who already knows what a Hultafors lead is.
