ZLKSKER 0-200mm (0-8 inch) Parallel Crossed Caliper with Carbide Needle, Stainless Steel Vernier Calipers, Marking Gauge

Very handy marking gauge easy to use and accurate well made and markings are easy to read

Would like to see it in thousands of an inch rather than one twenty eighths.overall good scriber

Works Good, although the price point is usually a factor in almost every Amazon review out there. I would like to attempt to not be reliant on the metric.. As far as the tool is concerned, it is sturdily built, the markings are accurate, the scribe awl is adjustable/removable. However the tool does need a little tuning, the ways and gib need to be de-burred and the gib screw head is a little small, not so much in tightening but more for backing it off. My fix for the smaller head was to drill (for Interference fit) out a brass melt-in nut, press it over the head of the aforementioned gib screw & then proceeded to silver soldered it in place. Epoxy should work too.But all and all a great little scribe tool even when not considering the price.

This is a wonderful tool for doing scribe line layouts. It is very accurate and easy to use. I always cringe when I see someone using a regular precision caliper to scribe a measured line as this wears and dulls the corner of the jaw and subjects the caliper to forces it was not designed for. The carbide scriber on this makes a sharper line and does not wear. The caliper is ruled for millimeters and fraction inches to 1/128th. I would have preferred decimal inches but I just convert to mm and get on with life. This comes with a spare carbide scribe pin as these are very hard but consequently brittle and will break if dropped on the scriber. These pins are only about $2.43 each and I picked up 3 just in case.For simple marking jobs this is way easier than hauling out the surface plate and dial height gauge.

Well built, accurate scale (though initially confusing). I'm a little concerned about how you keep the scribe aligned after adjusting or replacing. The scribe should have some sort of indexing to ensure it runs parallel to the material. Regardless this will be a hugely useful tool.
