Starrett 71556 Scriber Replacement Point Steel 9 in

Product Description

The STARRETT 71556 is a steel replacement scribing point designed to restore a worn or damaged scriber to full working condition. The point measures 9 inches overall length (OAL), providing the reach needed for layout and marking work on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. This replacement point is a direct consumable for professional scribers used in fabrication, plumbing, HVAC sheet metal, and electrical trade layout work. Installation requires no special tooling — the point threads or presses into a compatible scriber handle. Keeping spares on hand reduces downtime during layout-intensive jobs.

This replacement point suits trade professionals who rely on scribers for accurate transfer marking, line scribing, and hole-center location on workpieces. It is appropriate for use in shop and field environments, including HVAC duct fabrication, pipe fitting layout, and general metal trades. The 9-inch OAL allows access to recessed or hard-to-reach marking positions. A single point is included per package, making it easy to stock multiples for a service vehicle or shop bench.

Key Features

• Steel construction for durability and consistent point sharpness on metal and composite surfaces
• 9-inch overall length provides extended reach for layout work in tight or recessed areas
• Direct replacement consumable — restores a worn scriber without replacing the full tool
• Single-point packaging allows flexible stocking in low quantities

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement point for use with compatible STARRETT scribers. Verify handle thread or chuck specification against your existing scriber before ordering.

Installation Notes

Replacement scriber points are typically installed by hand or with a small wrench depending on the handle attachment method. Always secure the point fully before use to prevent it from loosening during marking. Wear eye protection when working with sharp scribing tools. Inspect the point for burrs or damage before placing it into service.
