IMT Tungsten Carbide Tip Scriber 2 Pack, Hand Drill Aluminium Etching Engraving Pen with Clip and Magnet for Glass/Ceramics/Metal Sheet, Extra 2 Replacement Marking Tip

I would buy again if the need comes again.

When going to scouting jamborees this comes in handy for marking your mess kit and refillable water bottles. To be honest, its uses are endless and the magnetic head has multiple purposes as well. Great product!

I like these and the price makes them a great value. My only reservation is that the magnet at the top makes their behavior on the bench somewhat unpredictable; I often end up picking up more than I bargained for when I lift it off the bench. The extra tips make these long-lived with reasonable care. Carbide is brittle, so any rough handling will lead to tears no matter what the brand. I recommend keeping the tip reversed to protect the point when not in use, or keeping track of the little plastic tube that protects the tip in shipment and replacing it between uses. I expect the pair of these to last me a long time. They make nice clean scribe marks that are a balanced "V" shape, unlike the "one-sided-V" scribe marks made by my height gage. The balanced scribe marks make locating a prick punch much easier and more reliable for centering a hole, which is mostly what I use these for.

The scribers shipped quickly, are as described, and are of overall good quality. I liked that each scribe came with an extra tip, though I suspect it will take a very long time to wear out the tip already installed. I also liked that each tip had a plastic cover over it so the user won't accidently get punctured by the sharp point. The only negative I noticed is that while it is still serviceable, the chuck in one of the scribes did not grip the tip as tightly as I think it should have (the tip pulled out of the chuck when trying to remove the tip cover). When I examined it closely, the slit in that chuck was not centered or cut squarely.

I was sick of losing my general tools brand scribes so I bought these because of the quantity and because I wanted to see how they compare. I could not be happier with them.I use scribes typically to etch my name and the date purchased on my tools. These work great and they are of comparable quality to other more expensive scribes.The cross hatching is deep and consistent for grip, the tips were all formed correctly, and the strength of the magnet on the back is satisfactory.The only issue I had with them was that the magnets on some of them were not completely square with the body, but it does not affect its usefulness. I have some more expensive scribes with the same issue though, so overall i don’t mind at all.

What can I say? NICE & SHARP.and the magnet 🧲 is pretty strong too.

It will do exactly what I needed (tear full sheets of sand paper down to quarters) and if it lasts a year it will more than pay for itself. Good packaging at a reasonable price.

I bought this to engrave names on personal property for me and my kids. Instead of breaking out the cumbersome electric engraver I use this. Simple and good results after a little practice.
