TRENDEasyScribe Scribing Tool, Accurate Scribing Solution for Carpenters, Joiners, Tilers, Kitchen & Shop Fitters, E/SCRIBE, Black

Great tool, bought because I had a lot of baseboard to install and the floor is not perfectly flat in places. Just set the height to the largest gap and scribe the baseboard then cut for a perfect fit. Super easy to use. Very practical size and functionality allows for the smallest of gaps. The lead is flat and records a thin line on the material to be cut that is easy to see.

Used this to create a base for cabinets in my basement where the floor was completely uneven. Worked like a charm. Having a flat guide at the bottom (as opposed to using a compass that is a single point) allows you to keep it at 90 degrees to the surface, excellent tool.

I had been looking at every scribe tool on the market and somehow missed this one. When I finally saw a carpenter use it on the good old youtube I immediately bought it and I absolutely love it. Even some mates on site are like whoa thats awesome. Worth every penny. Well made and very functional for filler and crown scribes. Haven't used it on anything besides drywall/flat surfaces but I will keep one of these for life.

The lead is very thin I keep breaking so I stop using it

I am a professional finish carpenter. This is a very handy scriber, and a nice addition to my collection. Collection because there is no one scriber that can do everything. I am using this to scribe baseboard to a hardwood floor, and I need a high level of accuracy to do this. Client and company does not use shoe mold, or scribe trim of any kind. Everything must look like it grew together. This scriber performs well. It doesn't work well for scribing something to a natural tile or stone. It's too long for that. Scribing to hardwood floors, walls, counter top etc it's great.I made one modification to it (I'm always tinkering with my tools to make them work better for me) I added two layers of teflon tape (plumbing supply) to the threads of the adjustment wheel. It now takes a bit of force to turn it, and it stays put in and out of my nail pouch.Pencil leads last a long time, but are a pain to extract. Don't over tighten the locking nut. It'll break the lead.So far very happy with this.

Easy to use, very precise when you get used to. Bought several hundred dollars worth of scribers to use on a large frameless job, and this is by far the best!!

I have many scribe tools for finish work , but this one I wanted to try , it works great for flat work walls to cabinet / trims and floor scribes . I don’t like it for ornate trim scribes or scribes that require a pin point .This tool has earned its place in the work truck full time

I've gone through three of these devices before I realized that they're a cheaply made version of what was likely an excellent prototype. The first one I received had a significantly convex base, so the whole thing would rock up and down unless you exercised extra-special care in holding it onto the surface you scribe. To their credit, Trend's US dealer sent me another one at no charge eventually. But the second one's adjustment screw would bind after opening up only about 1/4", rendering it unusable. I still held out hope, so I tried buying once more, having yet to receive a product functional enough to try on a real job. My third Easy Scribe had a flat base and the adjustment screw worked smoothly. So I tried to use it and found, as many others have reported, that the slightest operational pressure on the arm that holds the proprietary pencil lead causes it to wiggle up and down with respect to the base. Surprised, I found that I could easily move it up and down more than 1/4"! Utterly useless. (Applying pressure directly to the pencil arm seems clearly to be the most logical and intuitive way to hold the tool.)Here's the kicker: I have decided to keep it and use it for now! Pro Tip: You must not even touch the pencil-holding arm when you grip the tool. If you do, the arm will readily deflect and give you a meaningless scribe line. But if you grip the tool carefully WITHOUT touching the arm, and also reference it ONLY off the end of the metal guide blade, rather than against the entire allegedly flat base, the tool can work as advertised and is very handy for smooth scribe lines, e.g. where a countertop meets a wall or baseboard meets a floor, etc. I wouldn't buy this product again due to the ridiculously poor quality. That said, the design is stellar, and I would gladly pay even more for a version properly manufactured to eliminate the need for such virtuoso care in use.
