Just tried to sharpen a builder's pencil and the two wood halves came

Pencil sharpener for normal pencils is blunt.
I am now considering a propelling pencil with a thick lead for use in
marking up work.
Anyone else doing this?
If so, which lead thickness?

Shirley the thickness of the lead in a PP is defined by the size of
the hole through which it's propelled. If you mean hardness, then I
note that many carpenters' pencils are 2H.
Yes, I've two 2H propelling pencils. One is decades old; the other old one
broke irreperably so I bought a good one - £12 (!) but worth it. They take
1.8mm leads and have sharpeners built in.
