Product Description
Product Description
General's 88CM has long been held as the industry standard for scribing and etching tools. The tungsten carbide tip performs flawlessly on even the hardest metals, and therefore works easily on ceramics and glass as well. A powerful magnet at the tool's cap quickly cleans up stray metal shavings that can damage your work piece. The 88CM also features a reversible/removable tip, and a pocket clip for working in the field.
From the Manufacturer
Tungsten carbide scriber and magnet marks hard materials including hardened steel, ceramics and glass. Alnico permanent magnet picks up small parts and retrieves steel chips from hard-to-reach places. Scriber point reverses for safety. Overall length 6".

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Found glass to be a little bit easier to edge on the metal is, but it's my first one so the skill will come later.
I don't want to return it cause the scribers themselves are nice, just wish it had extra inserts.
