Reviews around point (5.00 of 5)

  • it has a long, fine point, so it gets in every little spot for a clean scribe
  • Too bad, the design is good but General has cheapened their product to the point that it's barely usable for scribing in finish carpentry work.
  • Sharp points leave marks on the walls

Reviews around nut (5.00 of 5)

  • the wing nut hold firmly and tightly and works as well as any other scriberI recommend it for the price
  • Wing nut to hold compass in place does hold the position well but can't really use it to scribe without a pencil in it.

Reviews around gap (5.00 of 5)

  • I suppose it was a lot to expect, but the wingnut does not tighten enough to reliably remain at a consistent gap

Reviews around deal (5.00 of 5)

Reviews around tone (5.00 of 5)

  • The gold-tone metal is very flimsy, and I don't imagine this tool will last long, but it was inexpensive and will serve its intended purpose for my fencing project.
