Trend EasyScribe Scribing Tool, Accurate Scribing Solution for Carpenters, Joiners, Tilers, Kitchen & Shop Fitters, E/SCRIBE, Black

Great tool, bought because I had a lot of baseboard to install and the floor is not perfectly flat in places. Just set the height to the largest gap and scribe the baseboard then cut for a perfect fit. Super easy to use. Very practical size and functionality allows for the smallest of gaps. The lead is flat and records a thin line on the material to be cut that is easy to see.

Good quality and adjustability. Fits in a tool belt just great. Non standard lead is sometimes difficult to extend as needed for additional marking. Over all very satisfied after a few years of use.

I had been looking at every scribe tool on the market and somehow missed this one. When I finally saw a carpenter use it on the good old youtube I immediately bought it and I absolutely love it. Even some mates on site are like whoa thats awesome. Worth every penny. Well made and very functional for filler and crown scribes. Haven't used it on anything besides drywall/flat surfaces but I will keep one of these for life.

I am a professional finish carpenter. This is a very handy scriber, and a nice addition to my collection. Collection because there is no one scriber that can do everything. I am using this to scribe baseboard to a hardwood floor, and I need a high level of accuracy to do this. Client and company does not use shoe mold, or scribe trim of any kind. Everything must look like it grew together. This scriber performs well. It doesn't work well for scribing something to a natural tile or stone. It's too long for that. Scribing to hardwood floors, walls, counter top etc it's great. I made one modification to it (I'm always tinkering with my tools to make them work better for me) I added two layers of teflon tape (plumbing supply) to the threads of the adjustment wheel. It now takes a bit of force to turn it, and it stays put in and out of my nail pouch. Pencil leads last a long time, but are a pain to extract. Don't over tighten the locking nut. It'll break the lead. So far very happy with this.

It works well, but it is flimsy. Turning the adjustment knob makes the plastic body flex so much that it nearly pops apart. To fix this, I took the two halves apartment and super glued them back together. Now at least the tool doesn't flex like crazy. Also, before using the scribe after each adjustment, you have to press downward on the pencil arm and remove any slack- if you don't, it will likely move while in use. Definitely very annoying.

durable, proper size

Tool works great and it's very easy to use. The design makes it very easy to maintain an accurate scribe line. My only complaint is that the leads stick abit making it a little harder to adjust length.

Used this to create a base for cabinets in my basement where the floor was completely uneven. Worked like a charm. Having a flat guide at the bottom (as opposed to using a compass that is a single point) allows you to keep it at 90 degrees to the surface, excellent tool.
