General 80 Straight Bent Scriber 8.5 in Fixed Point

Product Description

The GENERAL 80 is a dual-configuration scriber designed for layout and marking work in metal fabrication, machining, and general trade applications. The tool features both straight and bent tip orientations in a single body, giving technicians flexibility when scribing lines on metal, plastic, or composite surfaces. Constructed from steel with fixed scribing points, the GENERAL 80 measures 8.5 inches in overall length and weighs approximately 1 pound. It is a hand-held precision marking tool suited for use in shops, field installations, or on the bench wherever accurate layout lines are required.

The GENERAL 80 is used in metal fabrication, HVAC sheet metal layout, plumbing rough-in marking, and general mechanical trade work. The straight tip handles standard flat-surface scribing, while the bent tip allows access to recessed or angled surfaces that a straight point cannot reach. It is appropriate for both residential and light commercial trade environments and is commonly kept in a technician toolbox as a layout staple.

Installation Notes

No power source or fasteners are required for use. When scribing on energized equipment or near live electrical components, de-energize and lock out the system before beginning layout work per applicable OSHA and NEC guidelines. Keep the fixed points protected when stored to prevent injury and preserve tip sharpness.
