Tools and Hardware Reviews of FastCap Accuscribe Scribing Tool
Customer Review: It's OK
Summary: 3 Stars
Sloppy workmanship. I had to use a pocket knife to cut away the flashing from the molded plastic parts before it would properly fit the edge of the piece I was scribing. Design of the brass thumbnut/screw assemblies needs improvement. In order to get the pivots tight enough, I have to use a screwdriver to keep the screw from rotating as I tighten the thumbnut. If you leave the pivot tight, it is hard to adjust accurately. If you leave it loose, the setting can to easily change inadvertently. I might try using an internal lock washer under the head of the screw to hold it in place as I tighten the thumbnut. A captive nut used with a thumbscrew would have worked better. This is another example of cutting too many corners in manufacturing. I don't know of a better alternative so I will have to put up with it. It's made in China, so maybe that is part of the problem - like so many other products from China.Customer Review: Neat item

The joint makes it easy to work with. The only thing I would like to see changed is the pencil holder. I would like to be able to use a mechanical pencil or pen. The pencil provided (standard #2 pencil) is the only style that will fit. I'd buy it again.Customer Review: Not Great

I have used this scriber for about 6 months now and have to admit to being disappointed by its performance. I was so looking forward to the flat edge allowing the scriber to run along the wall accurately and easily, but the tightening nut just won't tighten, and that causes so many problems I have finally taken it out of my bag and am going back to a compass. There is nothing more frustrating than running this thing along a wall and having the dimension change because the pencil slips a little.
If they could figure out how to make that blasted nut tighten, this would be an easy five stars, but as it stands I have given up on it.
