Tungsten Carbide Scriber, Knurled Aluminum Handle, 4-Pack with Bonus Marking Tips and Steel Ruler, Ideal for Detailed Crafting and Carving

When I broke my carbide tipped scriber accidentally the other day, I went looking for a new one. Came across this 4 pack on Amazon for a very decent price and they even came with a whole bunch of spare tips and a steel ruler! Ordered one and when it got here yesterday, I put 3 of them in the spares drawer and started marking the ends of some Aluminum rod centers with it. The quality is great, very sharp tip and it gave me a very sharp line on the end of the work piece. It's comfortable in the hand, works just like a pen thought with the carbide tip there is no reason to worry about dry time. Even though the body is made of Aluminum, it's light weight, feels just like a pen in the hand and scribes Aluminum and other materials easily. Since the carbide tips do break occasionally, especially when used by heavy handed persons like myself, it's really nice that spares are included. If needed, I'd certainly buy this pack again, great value for the money IMO.

For an inexpensivecarbide scribe to be carried around in your shirt pocket or laid on your workbench; this Multiple Scribe Set is Awsume! The carbide insert is adjustable for stick-out length and easily replaced when it breaks. There are many replacement carbide scribe inserts, plus a bonus of the top end being Magnetic. The knurled front area makes the grip positive and works well for writing on metal objects. with the bright silver color I can easily find a scribe at each point of work, so I don't forget or have to fetch. If there were more stars for rating I would give this set a 7 star review. For the price, you can't beat this one with a long stick!

Great price, for some decent scribes. Can't beat it, with all the extra tips, and pens, best thing for someone like me who has projects going all over the house. I can keep one in every spot I work. They do their job, they're pretty rugged, and super sharp. Comfortable to hold as well.

Good scribe for a great price. They magnetic end isn't the best, but at this price who cares. The carbide point is nice and sharp and it does the job.

It is sometimes difficult to write just how an item exceeds all possible expectations, but this package deserves the effort! Firt thing to note is that you get everything mentioned as described (With minor exception below) and shown on the page. Best way to go on is the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly method. GOOD, no - GREAT: The feel of this in my hand is somewhat heavier, but in all other ways identical to the feel and grip of my favorite ball point ink pen, the Zebra F301. Slim, easy to grip and maneuner, and extremely well balanced - the balance point is 1/4" toward the point from center with the tip at max insertion. It leaves the weight resting on the hand rather than the finger and thumb tips, and allows enough fine control that you can not only mark/scribe lines, but carefully draw a sketch on any surface. The quality of construction is excellent. Knurling and smooth finishes are all vert smooth and well-machined. The pocket clip is the circumference band type, so it will not break out of the body and can be removed/replaced as desired. The red tip covers appear to be standard soft pvc/rubber slip fits and are quite secure. They may eventually dry out a bit, but I have yet to see one of those crack and fail under typical use and storage conditions. If the tip rests at max insertion or about 3/8" exposed you will not have the sharp tip pentrate your pockets (or you!). The collet closure is simple and secure when fully tightened. If it should ever loosen due to wear (doubtful) or misuse (possible but not probable) there are inexpensive fixes such as shims, but you do have three more scribers to fall back on, right? The magnet seems to be a rare earth type and is quite strong. The pictures on product page show it with a few small screws attached. In fact I used it to pick up by the head a six inch long 3/8" bolt, and my 60 year old boy scout pocket knife (wt.88g or 3.1oz) from the work bench. They both wobble a bit and will shake free from the magnet, but that ability is still impressive. I do not recommend doing so for safety reasons, but I was able to rest my scriber in a horizontal position to a vertical steel bar and hanging from an overhead beam in my workshop. Impressive. Have I mentioned yet that these cost less than $2.50 each? And you get a free 6" ruler which is accurate and in a protective sleeve for convenient safe storage when hanging or laying in drawer or on bench. Buy this for yourself, even if you seldom need one you can "gift" three to your friends and relatives with six extra tips for each. If yours gets lost, stolen, or damaged you can always borrow one back. Or be less stingy and buy one set for yourself, and several more to give as gifts, or employee rewards, etc. BAD: At this price they may soon be sold out or temporarily out of stock. UGLY: The ad wording is better than many I find here, but there are two items that I will mention, both regarding the bonus ruler. First the ruler is described as "clear" Since it is metal it should say "clearly read" or "clearly marked" or both since both are true. Second - the ruler is described as "thickened". I have no idea what that means. For the record, the ruler measures out to 0.013" thick which is actually quite thin. It is flexible to a mild degree without causing a permanent warp. It is similar to many drafting type rules in that respect. I find it perfectly useable and no problem at all. If you consider it a freebie bonus it is especially worth what you paid... I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND this as above the five-star rating I can give it.

These work well for scribing cut lines and they are so cheap you wont care if you lose or break one. Hard to go wrong. Keep a few in your apron

These are really good quality for the money it came with lots of extra tips the gripping on it is really good and it seems to be really durable on holding up I use this everyday and have yet to change a tip yet and I've had it for a couple of months the tungsten seems to stay really well and doesn't slide around in and out of the tip

Super nice. Great value. Very happy with the purchase.

Worked as intended. Happy with purchase
