FAQs

What materials can this scriber mark?

This scriber is designed for hard materials such as glass, various metals (including steel, aluminum, brass), and ceramics. It is not intended for use on soft materials.

How do I maintain the scriber?

Clean the tip after each use with a cloth to remove debris. Store it safely to protect the tip and avoid dropping it on hard surfaces. Inspect the tip periodically for wear.

Is the carbide tip replaceable?

The carbide tip is permanently attached and not designed to be replaced. If the tip becomes dull or damaged, a new scriber would be needed.

What does the '154mm' refer to?

The '154mm' indicates the overall length of the scriber, providing a balance between portability and comfortable handling for precise work.

What is the purpose of the pocket clip?

The pocket clip is for convenient portability, allowing you to easily attach the scriber to your pocket, tool belt, or shirt for quick access whenever you need it.

What does the lifetime guarantee cover?

The lifetime guarantee typically covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. Please refer to the specific warranty documentation for full details.

Troubleshooting

Scriber not marking material

Ensure the tip is clean and free from debris. Apply firm, consistent pressure at the correct angle. Verify the material is compatible (glass, metal, ceramics).

Tip appears dull or less effective

Clean the carbide tip thoroughly. If the issue persists, the tip may have become worn and may require a replacement scriber.
