Clarke Brothers Wheel Marking Gauge - Woodworking Marking Scriber Kit With 2 Replacement Cutters - Wood Marking Tools With Graduated Inch & MM Scale - Solid Metal Bar Wood Scribe Tool For Carpenter

An excellent marking gauge, especially at this price point. Easy to use and adjust at very small increments. And, it won’t roll off your workbench. B

Works great so far while testing a soft plywood and the Douglas Fir 2x4 I had lying around. Very simple to guide and move along both surfaces. I’m between projects at the moments so I haven’t had the chance to use it to its full function within the process of woodworking. What I can say is that it was sharp enough for sure to get the markings. The overall tool is light weight and easy to use. I like that there are spare blades that come well packaged in their own individual container. The rod, brass, and blade come in their own wrapper as well. I think some kind of mini case will go well with this type of device so now I can probably cut my own up using this little guy. As someone who has really spent a good amount on tools this year as the woodworking has ramped up, my thought process with this purchase was to invest in tested and respected products. Based on reviews and YouTube University this is one of those pay for the good stuff so you’re not regretting it in a month and paying more out later.

Nice, quality tool. Fits well in the hand and marks accurately

Tool is well made, fits my hand well and will function as well or better than my old (45 yrs. ) gauge.

Solid; well made. The flat on the wheel is genius too. no more rolling off of the dang bench.

Great quality and easy to use.

If you are a confirmed carpenter then you already know how useful a marking gauge is. If you aren't, then this is a great tool for scribing lines parallel to a straight edge of a piece of timber. You tighten the brass guide at the desired measurement and then run it down the wood, scratching a shallow line with the small sharp ring at the end of the rod. Make the first scribe shallow and concentrate on keeping the guide against the edge. Repeat to get a clearer impression. The rod itself is steel and sticks nicely to a magnetic tool holder. The ring has a flat side that stops the tool rolling off the bench. The marking are accurate and it is possible to be just a little better with small measurements than using a ruler and pencil.

I habe had this product for a little over a year. It comes ready to use with 2 spare cutter wheels, just in case. Turns out those spare wheels were absolutely needed as I managed to break/chip mine fairly quickly (I am rough with my stuff). At the time my last wheel gave out I went looking for replacements, this was roughly six months prior to writing this. Clarke brothers, at the time, did not have a way to get just the replacement wheels (they do now, more on that) so I set outdoor trying wheels from various other brands/companies but never found one that fit 'correctly'. There are some that will get you by but they don't fit well. Finally giving up, I messaged Clarke brothers to plead with them to male replacement cutter wheels available. To my surprise, I was informed that replacement cutter wheels will be made available on amazon in the near future and was assured that replacement would be sent to me. I waited months for said wheels and they never arrived. Again I reached out to Clarke brothers. They assured me that the cutters would arrive within the next few weeks and that a logistics issue was causing the delay. Another few weeks with nothing. Then, a Clarke brothers rep reached out to me regarding the issue. I was informed that, due to the long delay in fulfilling my request, that I would receive another marking gauge with replacement wheels. So, in order for Clarke brothers to hold themselves to thier standards, I got a free marking gauge on top of the one I have already, just so they could make sure they kept thier promise of providing me with replacement cutter wheels. This is the kind of customer service that every company should have. As for the product itself, it is a simple elegant design. The weight feels good in the hand, making it's use comfortable. The cutters are sharp enough but, like most tool blades, could be improved with some additional honing. Tje anti roll head is also a great feature, not necessarily needed, but makes the product just a bit better. Since I now have a second marking gauge it will replace my first, much cheaper and poorly designed gauge (which is also a wheel gauge, if anyone wanted to know). I still intend on purchasing a micro adjust marking gauge, and was going back and forth between Clarke brothers and another brand. The customer service that Clarke brothers provided basically guaranteed my purchase so I will be making that soon.

It works. However, not quite as super easy to use as I probably thought. I had thought something like this would be super simple, you just set the distance and do the mark, however it does slip reasonably easy and isn't super easy to hold well. So that lead to my first times using it not necessarily creating a nice, neat, accurate line. That's just a bit of a technique thing. There is a little bit of proper technique required to use it. But if done properly I think it does a good job. So just be warned it may take a bit of working with it to work out a good technique that will get good, even lines. It's not super simple and idiot proof. But if done right should give good accurate marks.

Does as promised. I used this often for marking where I need to cut. Leaves a minimal mark, less obvious than pencil marks, etc.

Lo he usado poco pero me resulta buen producto,facilitando el desarrollo de proyectos en madera y mejorando la precisión.

excellent, it has both metric and imperial measurements. It's accurate and has an amazing build quality, also comes with spare blades. I'd buy again if I lost mine.

Sturdy and very good quality … precise to some good level…price wise, it is a good bargain IMO
