General 505 Pocket Scriber 6 Inch Aluminum Diamond Tip

Product Description

The GENERAL 505 is a pocket scriber designed for layout and marking work on metal, plastic, and other hard surfaces. The 6-inch overall length gives the user a comfortable handheld form factor that fits easily in a tool pouch or shirt pocket. The body is machined from aluminum, keeping the tool lightweight at 0.6 pounds while maintaining durability in a shop or field environment. The diamond tip bit delivers a sharp, precise scratch line on hardened materials where a standard scribe point would dull quickly. Electricians, pipefitters, HVAC techs, and sheet metal workers use this tool for marking cut lines, transfer punching, and layout before fabrication.

The GENERAL 505 pocket scriber suits general trade and fabrication applications where accurate scribing on ferrous and non-ferrous metals is required. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial service work, sheet metal layout, conduit marking, and bench work. The compact overall length of 6 inches makes it practical for tight spaces and on-site field use. No power source or calibration is required, making it a straightforward add to a standard tool kit.

Installation Notes

A licensed tradesperson or experienced technician can add this scriber directly to a standard tool kit without any setup. Apply consistent, moderate pressure when scribing to avoid deflecting the line on curved or irregular stock. Keep the diamond tip protected when not in use to maintain scribing accuracy over time. No power isolation or code compliance steps are required for use of this hand marking tool.
