FAQs

What material is the scriber tip made of?

The scriber tip is made of hardened, reversible tungsten carbide steel.

What is the length of the Faithfull Pocket Scriber?

The scriber is 150mm (6 inches) long.

Can I use this scriber on glass or plastic?

This scriber is designed for metal surfaces. While it might scratch softer materials, it is not ideal for them and may not produce a clean mark. It is best used on metal.

How do I maintain the scriber?

Keep the scriber clean by wiping it with a dry cloth after use and store it in a dry place, ideally with its tip protected.

What is the purpose of the magnet on the scriber?

The permanent magnet on the opposite end is useful for picking up small metal parts or steel chips from your work area.

Is the tungsten carbide tip replaceable?

The tip is described as reversible, meaning you can use both ends, but it is not typically designed for user replacement once worn down or damaged.

Troubleshooting

Scribing line is faint or not visible.

Ensure the scriber is being used on a suitable metal surface. Apply consistent, firm pressure. The tungsten carbide tip is very hard; ensure you are applying enough force to create a score mark rather than a light scratch.

Magnet not picking up small parts.

Clean any debris from the magnet surface. Ensure the parts are made of a ferrous metal (iron or steel). The magnet is designed for small, light parts.

Tip appears damaged or chipped.

Inspect the tip carefully. Tungsten carbide is hard but can be brittle. Avoid dropping the scriber or using excessive force that could lead to chipping. If damaged, the tip may need replacement if possible, or the tool may need to be replaced.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable tungsten carbide tip for long-lasting sharpness.
  • Integrated magnet adds utility for handling small parts and debris.
  • Compact and portable design for easy storage and access.
  • Suitable for precise marking on hard metal surfaces.

Cons

  • Tip can be brittle if dropped or misused.
  • Not designed for soft materials like wood or plastic.
  • Single point of contact, requires manual effort for long lines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No setup is required. The scriber is ready for immediate use upon unboxing.

Compatibility: Primarily designed for use on ferrous and non-ferrous metal surfaces. It is not recommended for use on soft materials like wood, plastic, or glass, as it may not create a visible mark or could damage the material.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the scriber clean with a dry cloth after use to remove any metal dust or debris.
  2. Storage: Store in a dry place, preferably in a protective case or tool roll to prevent the tip from becoming damaged or dull.
  3. Tip Protection: Ensure the cap is replaced over the tip when not in use, if provided, or store it with the tip facing away from other tools.
