Precision Scribing Tool

The Starrett 70B Pocket Scriber is a compact hand tool designed for laying out accurate lines on metal, plastic and stainless steel. Its 6 in overall length and 3/8 in diameter knurled steel handle provide a secure grip for detailed work. A hexagon-shaped head prevents the tool from rolling off the bench.

Fine Layout Applications

Machinists, model makers and maintenance technicians who need a sharp, fixed point for precise marking will find this scriber well suited. Users requiring a retractable tip, a magnetic pick-up feature or an ESD-safe body should consider other marking instruments.

Removable Steel Point

The hardened steel point is removable for re-sharpening or replacement, extending the useful life of the tool. The nickel-plated finish resists corrosion during storage and daily use in the workshop.

Questions about this item

How often will the removable steel point need replacing?

The point is made of hardened steel and is removable; replacement frequency depends on the materials you mark and how much pressure you apply.

What limits continuous use of the knurled steel handle?

Hand fatigue from the 3/8 in diameter knurled grip is the first limit during prolonged scribing sessions.

Does the nickel-plated finish affect heat buildup during all-day use?

The nickel-plated steel handle stays at ambient temperature; no heat is generated because the tool has no moving parts or power source.
