It's engineered to create clear, precise lines on materials that would easily dull or break lesser tips, including hardened steel, ceramics, and glass. The integrated magnet is a practical addition, useful for managing small components or clearing debris from work areas. Sourced directly from authorized US retailers, it guarantees authenticity and quality for your critical projects.

Ideal for Machinists, Jewelers, and DIYers

This scribe is perfect for anyone needing to mark metal, glass, or stone accurately. Machinists will appreciate its ability to scribe on hardened steel. Jewelers can use it for detailed designs on metalwork. DIY enthusiasts can employ it for precise layout on various hard surfaces. While local scribes might offer basic marking, this tool's combination of a superior tip, strong magnet, and comfortable grip provides enhanced usability and longevity for professional and hobbyist applications alike.

How to use

  • Prepare for Marking — Ensure the surface to be marked is clean. If desired, apply a thin layer of layout fluid to the material for better line visibility. Select the tungsten carbide tip and ensure it is securely fastened.
  • Mark the Surface — Hold the scribe by the knurled aluminum handle for a firm grip. Apply steady pressure at the desired angle to create a clear line on the material, such as hardened steel, glass, or ceramic.
  • Utilize the Magnet — Use the integrated Alnico magnet to pick up small metal parts or retrieve steel chips from your workspace. The magnet is strong enough for small ferrous items.
  • Store Safely — Reverse the tungsten carbide point for safety when not in use. Utilize the pocket clip to keep the scribe securely attached to your clothing or tool bag for easy access.
