Fowler 52-500-050-0 Retractable Pocket Scriber 6.5 in

Product Description

The FOWLER 52-500-050-0 is a retractable pocket scriber with a carbide point tip, designed for marking and scribing lines on metal, plastic, and other hard surfaces. At 6.5 inches overall length, it fits comfortably in a shirt or apron pocket and deploys quickly for layout work. The retractable tip protects both the user and the point when the tool is not in use. Machinists, fabricators, pipefitters, and field technicians who need a reliable scribing tool for layout and marking tasks will find this a practical hand tool for bench or job-site use.

This scriber is suited for use in machine shops, fabrication shops, HVAC fabrication, plumbing rough-in layout, and general trade work where precise line marking on hard materials is required. The pocket-size form factor makes it easy to carry during service calls or installation work without adding bulk to a tool pouch. The carbide point maintains a sharp edge longer than standard steel tips, making it appropriate for repeated use on hardened surfaces.

Installation Notes

This is a hand tool that requires no installation. To extend the carbide tip, engage the retract mechanism before use and retract fully before storing or carrying. Keep the tip retracted when placing the scriber in a pocket or tool pouch to prevent injury and tip damage. Inspect the carbide point periodically for chips or wear that could affect marking accuracy.
