General Tools 843/1 Pencil Compass and Scriber, 8 Inch Diameter

Very good and sturdy scribe tool. Have to take the wing-nut all the way out to get a pencil in but once it’s in and tightened, works great

Pretty decent quality for a basic compass. Does what it supposed to do.

These are great pocket compasses. They hold the pencil tight and are very compact, so you can put them in your pocket, tool belt, where ever. I lost my last 2 so I needed to get more. They aren't available locally anymore so I was glad to find them here.

Works fine but you can only use a round pencil

Oh my, installed countertops for 20+ years. So I know how to use this gadget. It works.

i've bought quite a few tools for scribing, and none this cheap.beyond that, this is absolutely the best tool for the job. it has a long, fine point, so it gets in every little spot for a clean scribe. i do finish carpentry for a living, and i use this tool all day long. I realize its a cheap highschool compass, but if it works, use it. i would buy this above ANY other scribing tool out there, so the rediculous price tag is an added bonus.simple, and does thejob, very well.

1, not easy to put the pencil in; 2, can't hold the position steady, which caused scribing inaccurately

Since the late 1960's while working for my father's company doing rough and finish carpentry, I have used these for scribing all types of trim, doors, etc. While these are very simple, they work great and are the best I've used. I've tried all types of new and "improved" scibers but I've always returned to these. Now that I no longer work in the field and am mostly a DIY'er I still keep them in my tool belt when I've got a project for my children or around my own house. Highly recommend.

Doesn't tighten the pencil very well.

Muito bom

Quality

Práctico

I use these by bending the pin around 90˚ and using them to scribe materials against various surfaces. They're the best thing I've found for this application.
