Tungsten-carbide scriber with magnet

This pen-style marking tool uses a tungsten-carbide point to scribe clear lines on hardened materials such as stainless steel, ceramics and glass. A reversible, replaceable tip extends the working life of the scriber. The knurled aluminium barrel gives a secure grip in wet or greasy conditions, and a pocket clip keeps the tool close at hand.

For precision layout on hard surfaces

Machinists, welders and fabricators who need fine, permanent marks on tough metals and ceramics will benefit from the hard carbide tip and comfortable grip. Workers who only mark soft wood, plastic or paper, or who require a broad felt-tip marker for visibility, should choose a different marking instrument.

Replaceable tungsten-carbide tip

The tip can be reversed or swapped out when it wears, so the scriber remains accurate without replacing the whole tool. This single feature determines whether the tool suits long-term, high-volume marking work.

Questions about this item

Does the tungsten-carbide tip generate heat during prolonged marking on hardened steel?

The tungsten-carbide point marks hardened materials without generating noticeable heat, so the barrel stays cool during all-day use.

What surface or holder is needed to keep the 88-CM secure when not in use?

The built-in pocket clip attaches to a shirt pocket, belt or tool pouch so the scriber stays in reach without extra hardware.

Will the reversible tip fit the older General Tools scriber handle I already own?

The replaceable tip is designed specifically for the 88-CM barrel and is not interchangeable with other models.
