Starrett Pocket Scriber with Hexagon Head – 2-7/8 inch Length, Nickel-Plated Handle

Overview

The Starrett Steel Pocket Scriber is a compact, dependable marking tool designed for precise lines across metal, wood, and plastics. Its hexagon-shaped head resists rolling, allowing you to guide a line with steady control. The nickel-plated handle adds tactile grip and durability, while the steel scriber tip is hardened and finely tapered to keep your marks clear and consistent.

Why it stands out

• Quality materials — steel construction and nickel plating are built to last, with a hardened tip that maintains crisp markings.
• Stable marking — the hex head prevents rolling, helping you produce clean, repeatable lines on your workpiece.
• Secure, adjustable grip — a knurled chuck holds the scriber firmly; it can be retracted, telescoped, and locked when not in use.
