**** GENUINE REBAR PENCIL BODY **** 

This is a handmade 7mm Pencil bolt action made by Placid Crafts. Yes, this pencil is made from a Solid Steel Rebar Rod. The Hardware on this pencil is Gun Metal. The Bolt Action works as the lead advance as well as the retracted and stored position. The Rifle Case makes it a real eye catcher. The pencil is 5-3/8" long. I would consider this a standard diameter because the body is 1/2" Rebar. The REBAR pencil body is very unique and not like the standard pencils that you buy. The body has a protective covering to help protect it from moisture. This pencil has an antique look that is so popular right now. A five pack of replacement erasers are included with the pencil and more are available in our eBay store.  /  Pen #283

ABOUT REBAR:

Rebar (short for reinforcing bar), also known as reinforcing steel.  Common rebar is made of unfinished tempered steel. Rebar is used as a tension device in reinforced concrete and masonary structures to strengthen and hold the concrete in compression.

The majority of rebar are deformed, as opposed to round. Rebar's surface is patterned to form a better bond with the concrete.The ribs and depressions on its surface can increase the bond strength with concrete and prevent slippage. The pattern vary but usually there are two raised lines running the length of the bar 180˚apart with a spiral pattern between them. The deformed rebar is NOT ROUND. The diameter across the raised bars is larger than the diameter opposite the bars.

Rebar is tempered steel that is case hardened. The core is alloy steel but the closer to the outside the harder the steel gets. This makes drilling it a real problem. I use special hard drill bits manufactured from tungsten and molybdenum to increased hardness and with cobalt added to ensure superior heat resistance.
