## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dream purchase
*by S***H on 13 August 2021*

Wanted a scribe for marking pavers and slabs that wouldn’t roll away. With a magnet on one end I can leave it with my trowel and it’s still there next time. Brilliant.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good little etching tool!
*by N***N on 14 September 2021*

I am using this to etch on perspex. Very pleased with it.

### ⭐ Crap
*by R***N on 6 October 2020*

Great scriber but snapped after a few times use. If you work in engineering don't buy this crap
