Excellent scriber!
Size: 2-3/8" x 1/4"
First of all, to those saying it does not come with a tip, you have to unscrew the end, pull the tip out, and turn it around. The tip stores reversed in the scriber so you can keep it in your pocket without gouging out part of your leg accidentally, and they also shipped it like this for safety. As for not coming with directions, this is a scriber. It has a hard, sharp point for marking measurements or points or whatever on hard surfaces like metal and wood. This is exactly what I needed. The point is not carbide as others noted, but the description never said it was carbide. Starrett does sell a carbide-tip version (70AX), but it is appropriately priced at about 3x the price. I have another scribe with a tiny carbide tip, but this Starrett with a steel tip blows out out of the water. My only qualm is that I can see how this could loosen up around the tip, as one reviewer indicated that it had, but if that is an issue in the future, I will adjust my review accordingly. Everything about this screams quality, and I am very happy with my purchase.

Lifelong companion for every project.
Size: 2-7/8" x 3/8"
Keep the scribe oiled to protect it from staining, and it will prove to be a lifelong companion for all your projects. I lost my first one and tried substituting it with other scribes, but I came back to this little jewel of a tool. Excellent design, balance, and ergonomics.

Great tool for leather work
Size: 2-7/8" x 3/8"
I use this scene for leather work rather than a scratch awl. It’s the best tool for this job. I’d get it again if needed.

Delightful to hold and use.
Size: 2-3/8" x 1/4"
This tool is sublime! Holding it in the hand beside all my other scribes, the superiority is easy to behold. In use, it is also superior in that it easily fits the hand, unlike several much longer scribes I own. The knurling is deep and enables an easy nonslip grip. The hex knob in the end will prevent the scribe from rolling. The removable scribe tip is made from hardened steel and is easily resharpened. The tip is very hard, and this enables a long life; while the trade-off: it probably is brittle and may break if dropped on a hard surface. Sterrett have replacement tips in both steel and carbide. Carbide can only be sharpened with diamond stones. Accidentally stabbing yourself with the sharp tip is prevented by flipping the tip around with the point inserted into the body of the tool. It is the procedure for loosening and tightening the nut holding the tip which earns Sterrett only four stars. After machining threads in the nut and matching threads on the body of the scribe, Sterrett do not clean the threads surfaces. Consequently, turning the nut is rough and difficult, particularly to tighten. Tightening and loosening the nut should be a two finger task accomplished quickly and easily, and it is not because the threads are so rough. I also own this scribes bigger brother, the 70B. Loosening or tightening the nut for the 70B is even more difficult. I also own a set of Sterrett pin vices and they exhibit exactly the same problem. The purchase of the pin vices and scribes are very recent. Rotating the adjustment knob of Sterrett micrometers is butter smooth and precise—quite a contrast. So fixing this problem will entail cleaning the threads of the scribes and pin vices. Doing this is quite straight forward; using a very fine diamond grinding paste to clean the threads will do the trick. But this begs the question: Why didn’t Sterrett clean the threads during manufacture when it would be very easy? So I have the set of four pin vices and two scribes needing their threads cleaned. I’m rather picky it would seem. BUT THESE SCRIBES ARE DELIGHTFUL TOOLS TO OWN AND USE!

High quality Scriber
Size: 2-3/8" x 1/4"
Beautiful tool with a fine point for scribing on metal. The ability to reverse the tip and hold it in the handpiece makes it safe and easy to transport without worrying about inadvertently damaging the tip, or something/someone near by! The handle has texture so it could easily be held in a vise for hands-free use. I wanted to use it as an awl for chainmaking and the taper of the scribe was so narrow, it wasn't a good choice for that type of project. The base is quite narrow and I needed something with a larger diameter. But, if used for it's intended purpose, it's a high-quality tool and worth the price.

This is one of the most useful tools I have ever purchased.
Size: 2-3/8" x 1/4"
I bought one of these about 30 years ago to do my own termite checking. When I purchase my new home, the inspector told me the house had no termites. With this tool alone I found over a dozen termite infestations with most of them located on the balconies (balconies are termite magnets). I told the inspector and got myself a free (but deserved) house tenting. But this tool has so many uses besides a termite poker it is astounding. I have used it for so many numerous tasks it would take pages to write. One of my favorites is when I am working in a small confined area I can use this to move things around (i.e. electronics). It is useful for marking drill/nail holes, letting air out of plastic (sounds dumb, but useful), doing fine finish work, detailed cleaning etc. Great for working around small parts. I have seen reviews saying that this comes with no point. What you need to do is unscrew the tip, pull the point out (this can be a little hard), then reposition it with the point sticking out instead of in. Problem solved.
