Tradie Notes Combo Pencil combines the mechanical pencil tradies already know and trust with a built-in stylus designed for use with Tradie Notes products.
This means no more searching for a separate stylus — it’s always in your hand when you need it. In many situations, it’s also faster and more practical than switching tools on the job. Also come with lead refills to keep you going a long time.

Bonus for early customers:
The first 1,000 orders will also receive a stylus cap compatible with the Pica Mechanical Pencil (Pica Dry Art 3030) at no extra cost.

THE OLD WAY VS THE TRADIE NOTES WAY

THE LITTLE LOST STYLUS

  • The stylus that came with your E-Pad — gone walkabout again, like every one before it
  • Small, skinny stylus that never sat right in a working hand
  • Tape in one hand, number fading from memory while you dig through the pouch for something to write with
  • Pencil in one pocket, stylus in another — two tools to find, two tools to lose

TRADIE NOTES COMBO

  • A stylus you can't lose — built into the mechanical pencil that lives in the holster on your belt
  • Thicker stylus that actually fits in the hand — no more pinching a skinny little stick
  • Mid-measurement? Flip the pencil and write it straight on your tape's E-Pad
  • Quick-draw holster — your pencil's always on you, out in a second, marking or noting

Perfect Companion for our Tape Measure

This 2-in-1 mechanical pencil and stylus was designed to work hand-in-hand with the Tradie Notes Tape Measure. It rides in a quick-draw holster on your belt, so it's out in a second while you're measuring on the go — mark your cut with the pencil end, flip it, and write the measurement straight on the tape's E-Pad.

Clip it Anywhere you like

The holster contains a rigid clip, allowing it to be mounted in various convenient positions.

Refill Pencil Leads

The pencil comes with 2.8 mm refill leads to keep you going for a long time. They are also readily available at most hardware stores for future refills.

Some Other Features

* Sharpener in the holster to keep the lead precise
* Pencil clips into the holster so it can’t fall out
* Thin shaft to reach into tight areas
* Coloured leads available from most hardware stores
* Ergonomic design for maximum comfort

THE STYLUS IS ALWAYS IN YOUR HAND

THE HEADLINE FEATURE

THE STYLUS IS ALWAYS IN YOUR HAND

Every E-Pad writes best with a stylus — the problem was where the stylus lived. Now it lives on the end of the pencil you already carry. Mark the stud, flip it, write the number.

  • Writes on every Tradie Notes E-Pad — the 4.0, Dura Max, Dual Pad and the Tape
  • Fine tip means neater, smaller writing — fit more measurements on the screen
  • Flip it: standard 2.8mm mechanical pencil on the other end for marking timber
  • Thin shaft reaches into tight spots a chunky carpenter's pencil can't
STARTED ON A JOBSITE, NOT IN A BOARDROOM

WHY I BUILT IT

STARTED ON A JOBSITE, NOT IN A BOARDROOM

G'day — I'm Samuel, a carpenter of eighteen years. I got sick of hunting for offcuts to scribble measurements on, and of numbers going missing between the mark and the saw. The little miscommunications nobody clocks — that's where the money leaks. So I built the tool I wanted in my own tool belt, and since 2023 it's ended up in thousands of them across Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the USA. That's me in the photo — and the combo pencil is the tool that ties the whole system together: the one thing on your belt that marks the timber and writes on every E-Pad we make.

Bought the combo deal, pencil tape and spare screen. Screen is great, can write with your finger too. Great idea that seems to work, hopefully durable too, time will tell.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

They do — every E-Pad screen is pressure-based, so a fingernail or whatever's in your hand works in a pinch. The stylus tip is just the better experience: a fine point for neater, smaller writing, and it's always on you because it's built into the pencil you already carry. No hunting through pockets while the number fades from memory.

All of them — the 4.0, the Dura Max, the Dual Pad and the Tape Measure. Every E-Pad in the range is pressure-based, so one stylus covers the lot.

Standard 2.8mm leads, medium-hardness graphite. Refill leads come included in the box, and when you run out they're stocked at most hardware stores — coloured leads too, if that's how you mark.

It's mechanical — click out more lead and keep going. When the tip wants a proper point, there's a sharpener built into the holster. No knife, no shavings through the ute.

The holster has a rigid clip that mounts on your belt, pouch or harness strap, and the pencil clicks into the holster so it can't rattle out. It's 58 grams and 195mm in the holster — you'll forget it's there until you need it.

Already run a Pica? The first 1,000 orders also get a free stylus cap that fits the Pica Dry Art 3030 — so your Pica gets a stylus end too, at no extra cost.

30 days to change your mind — send it back unused and in perfect nick for a full refund. Manufacturing faults are covered for 12 months and we'll replace it. Email admin@tradienotes.com.au and we'll sort it.

ONE TOOL. BOTH JOBS.

Mark the timber, flip it, write the number. If it's not for you, send it back.
