Magnetic Hat-Top Mount
Super-strong magnets stick the pencil to a baseball cap or hard hat brim. Pencil rides on your head between measurements, no dig through the pouch, no bounce off a rafter to the ground below.
Fits Pencils + Markers
Sized to grip most carpenter pencils and medium markers. One caddy works across the layout pencil, the keel marker, and the Sharpie® on the truck dash.
Comfort Rubber Grip
Rubberized body cushions the pencil in the hand and dampens the rattle against a hard hat. Pencil + caddy reads as one tool, not two.

A closer look

Super-strong magnets in the caddy lock the pencil to a baseball cap or hard hat. Hands-free between marks, no more chasing a pencil across the deck.

Card shows the install for both formats: clip a fabric cap brim or stick to a hard-hat shell. One caddy works across both layouts a tradesperson wears.
