Saker Multi-function Scribing Tool(BLACK)

Ordered for my son he loved it !!

Works great used it to scribe stringers for boat

Needed for several projects and the 1st one was acheiveable when the thumb screws were tightened with pliers. Couldn't get them tight enough with my fingers using the "Edge ruler" set at 2", kept slipping and would stretch to 2.25-2.5". Design is good but it also prohibits full access to the knobs being small and close together (big hands/fingers). Hated to put pliers on the knobs to get them tighter, feeling they'd fail soon but with several more uses needed i think the solution is to cut a slot in each knob to make them into a slotted screws for a screwdriver to tighten. Next trip to the hardware store i'll see if they have a micro-machine bolt to swap out the knurled knobs and could use a wrench instead.

It's a pretty good accessory that let's you draw and check the tool paths before running the job. I use VCARVE and when the work calls for the Tiling function it helps me confirm that the tool paths are setup correctly. I haven't used it for drawing (sketching) an image although that's probably what it's designed for.

This scribing tool feels reasonably well-built in the hand, which is a positive point, aligning somewhat with the descriptions mentioning its aluminum alloy construction. For a 3-star rating, I'd say the overall quality seems okay for occasional use, but it doesn't quite feel like a premium, highly durable tool as some product highlights might suggest. In terms of using it, as I mentioned, the build quality feels fine, which is reassuring. However, I did find that it was a bit too bulky for my preference, despite being advertised as compact and easy to carry. More importantly, I experienced issues with its performance; it didn't seem to grip hard enough when trying to set it, and frustratingly, it tended to lose its form when I was in the middle of drawing lines or arcs. This made achieving consistent and precise marks difficult, which is a key function of a tool like this and goes against the advertised precision and ability to lock in shape.

Compact yet sturdy. Great tool.

I had looked at buying this tool but went with the knockoff so I could have it sooner for an upcoming flooring project. The knockoff did the job but I wanted this one. It has a better design feel, and a couple different features. I used it to scribe and layout arcs and circles. It did each job well. The detachable pencil is a plus too. There are other tools that perform the functions this tool does and maybe better. But this tool performs a lot of tasks quite well.

Awesome
