Very difficult to use

The pencil needs to be inserted into the slot, the hole for the pencil is very small, and the pencil needs to be sharpened very often, otherwise its tip is not long enough to stick out of the hole. Won't use it again, won't buy again.

Pros
  • price
Cons
  • disappears

Not very easy to use or accurate

I use this product to mark the center of the wood during woodworking. The pencil insert at the end of the lead is too big, causing the pencil to wobble. Also, it only seems to mark the center poorly. It's simple but still difficult to use. Would not recommend this product to others.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Normal pencils won't fit, center offset

This product comes with a short pencil which at first glance looks like a regular #2 pencil. As I inserted it, I noticed that it got thinner. Cable broke on first use. Despite the pressure I applied, it kept breaking. The partial line I drew was far from the center.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Compatibility

Useful hub, but why is the hole so small?

I like Milescraft more than Kreg and this little gadget definitely comes in handy. I've used it for projects around the house. One thing I don't understand is why is the hole so small? There is no way to squeeze the pencil and I don't like using metal pins on my wood. Seriously Milescraft? At least match it with the included pencil.

Pros
  • Enjoy
Cons
  • Power socket required

Might be worth it - Marking Tool

First of all you should be told it's plastic. I should have asked a question. I used it today. I'm not impressed. There's a metal one for sale, I'll try it. The pencil hole was so narrow that the pencil had to be pushed through. then, after my first mark, I needed a vise to remove it. From what I understand it is a $6 item. That's six dollars I could spend on a $15 item and get a better deal. Lessons learned.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • You could have opted for a newer model

Marking Tools Important Note

This item is amazing. Regardless of its mind-control aspects (which may surprise you), it works pretty well for its intended purpose. Did I mention that when you contact him, he recognizes your thoughts? You can literally feel his presence overwhelm you, and by that moment it's already too late. Once he takes over your thoughts, he starts thinking for you. Tell your friends about it or buy it as a gift for people so they can take their minds too. And in the end they buy them for their friendsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quality Construction
Cons
  • Secret

A useful time saver

This is a quick way to mark the center of anything that fits between two pins. Its accuracy is below measurement and above guesswork. And yes, it's plastic. Like all my rulers. never mind It's not glass. I know the quality police yell in their reviews that it's not metal, but it would be a lot heavier and more expensive if it were. So just take it for what it is: a $6 tool that fits in your pocket and does its job well. As for getting the pencil firmly in place, yes, it's hard to hit. But justโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Permanent test results
Cons
  • The list will be long.
