I was a bit skeptical about purchasing this product, but it turned out to the best $20 I've spend on a measuring tool. Very useful for small machining work, not sure how I lived without this tool, but it's very useful and I am very happy.Pros: Works flawlessly, The product quality is good, the hardened pin is really sharp, so issues so far. Scratches easily on Aluminum. Looks and feels of a quality built product. Good to have both scalesCons: The marking on the scale could have been better, with bold lines or letters indicating inch/half/quarter inches. I get confused and every time I have to double check with my other ruler, so far no mistakes. It would've been really helpful in if the lines are bold for inch/half/quarter inch.

Works Good, although the price point is usually a factor in almost every Amazon review out there. I would like to attempt to not be reliant on the metric.. As far as the tool is concerned, it is sturdily built, the markings are accurate, the scribe awl is adjustable/removable. However the tool does need a little tuning, the ways and gib need to be de-burred and the gib screw head is a little small, not so much in tightening but more for backing it off. My fix for the smaller head was to drill (for Interference fit) out a brass melt-in nut, press it over the head of the aforementioned gib screw & then proceeded to silver soldered it in place. Epoxy should work too.But all and all a great little scribe tool even when not considering the price.

The scribe tool appears to be built well, not as though it will be abused.Operates nicely and makes good lines. The marking rod is adjustable longer or shorter depending on the piece you are trying to scribe.The drawback to this is the scribe rod, it is soft and the tip wears down from a very sharp point to a blunt edge on the first or second scribe.Stock up on tips or try to reshape the original one. I still find the tool worth having.

This is a wonderful tool for doing scribe line layouts. It is very accurate and easy to use. I always cringe when I see someone using a regular precision caliper to scribe a measured line as this wears and dulls the corner of the jaw and subjects the caliper to forces it was not designed for. The carbide scriber on this makes a sharper line and does not wear. The caliper is ruled for millimeters and fraction inches to 1/128th. I would have preferred decimal inches but I just convert to mm and get on with life. This comes with a spare carbide scribe pin as these are very hard but consequently brittle and will break if dropped on the scriber. These pins are only about $2.43 each and I picked up 3 just in case.For simple marking jobs this is way easier than hauling out the surface plate and dial height gauge.

This is a nice size and shape. It is durable, inexpensive, and of course never needs a battery. It is as foolproof and easy to read as any vernier. Great for transferring measurements from one part to another. I only wish it had decimal inches instead of fractions.

Made decent and definitely does the job. Worth the money

Feels like a reasonably good tool so I'm hoping it'll last for a while. It will need a little bit of work on the brass contact piece to smooth out the rougher slide action.The protective pouch is not "leather" as mentioned in the product page, it is made out of cheap vinyl material. Even though I actually expected that before I received it, I still find it as a bitter note to see it misrepresented on the product page (makes you wonder if that's the only lie on there...).My biggest complaint, and I see it from other customers here, is about the measurement scale which is 1/128" instead of the commonly used decimal 1/1000". Who on earth uses that?I obviously understand that this increment or precision would be way beyond the intended scribing purpose of the tool, but it still makes up for consistency with standard calipers/verniers, ease of use and eliminate the confusing mental fractional conversion.In order to use this tool (in imperial) it will probably be faster to first index out the span with another set of calipers to get it set before scribing.

Before I bought this I used my calipers for laying out projects realizing I wasn't doing them justice I picked this up I makes repetitive layouts easy and I'm not messing up my calipers. The only thing I don't like is the graduations are not highlighted all the lines are the same length .

Would like to see it in thousands of an inch rather than one twenty eighths.overall good scriber
