A carbide scribe may seem like an obscure tool, but it's not. What the carpenter's pencil is to building houses, the tungsten carbide scribe is to building with metal. As anyone who has marked metal will tell you, a pencil doesn't work and neither do most pens. If you can get a pen to make a line, it can easily be smudged off. Even the trusty Sharpie pen makes a big fat line.
But a scribe is perfect. It marks a clean sharp line. And better still, it cuts through dirt, paint, rust, and mill scale. It's the tool to use for clean, accurate lines. Its secret is at the business end, a little sharpened rod of tungsten carbide, a material so hard it can even scribe a line on the surface of a tile. The Model 88 by General Tools is a particularly good example. Its durability is outstanding (you'll get years of use from it), and its tip is retractable (you can retract it so it doesn't poke a hole in your work shirt or coveralls).
As holds true with other things in life, when it comes to carbide scribes and metal working, little things mean a lot.
