## Description

General's 88CM has long been held as the industry standard for scribing and etching tools. The tungsten carbide tip performs flawlessly on even the hardest metals, and therefore works easily on ceramics and glass as well. A powerful magnet at the tool's cap quickly cleans up stray metal shavings that can damage your work piece. The 88CM also features a reversible/removable tip, and a pocket clip for working in the field.

Review: Wanted a scribe for marking pavers and slabs that wouldn’t roll away. With a magnet on one end I can leave it with my trowel and it’s still there next time. Brilliant.
Review: I had this scribe for years then I lost it and bought another one. The bit wasn't held tightly but I took off the cone that holds it and sanded off a mm on the back and then it clamped tighter
