🔥 ALLY Tools Round Soapstone Holder Set: 7 Professional Quality Pens for Welding & Welders - Removable Markings on Steel, Aluminum, and Cast Iron Review

The soapstone is round and the soapstone corresponds to the description. However, the handle is flimsy and doesn't bite the stone after about two days of use. A round soapstone, it turns out, doesn't satisfy my need for precise lines either, as does a flat soapstone. It was a lesson. Stick to the classics.

I work with roofs and we use chalk to mark the damage. I've been told that soapstone chalk is much better and less messy than sidewalk chalk. I bought this because I liked the idea of having some sticks and a pen. I have to keep turning to keep a fresh piece and sometimes it pulls back into the handle. So far it's not all that useful and certainly not worth the extra cost.

I'm a GC Field Engineer. I spend most of my time with the total station laying, building or measuring something. I use a lot of soapstone and this holder is just what I need. Before this pen, I only carried bits of soapstone in my pocket. They broke often and usually disappeared. An ally tool fits in my research vest's pen holder (a huge plus). Always where he needs to be. I highly recommend buying this product if you use soapstone frequently. Especially for the price.

It also arrived with many refills. It was also amazing that they emailed me a FAQ guide that newbies might find useful. Overall I'm impressed and will definitely…

Love this marker. It doesn't break and sharpens beautifully with a manual build quality pencil sharpener (like the ones you can use for square carpenter's pencils). Leaves a nice clean line that is easily removed from Sunbrella with Tuff Stuff. So I have to use an old white pencil for good. I also found that a small amount of dust on the lines reduces the stickiness of the basting (double-sided) tape. However, I save so much time not having to constantly sharpen my broken pencil points and the…

Using this soapstone handle has become second nature. The clasp is metal so it sticks well to the strong magnet I keep near my sewing machines. Soapstone is durable, so I don't constantly adjust its length. Holds a good point. The soapstone sitting in the holder is slightly loose, so the holder must be fixed firmly so that pressure can be applied when marking the fabric. Soapstone also serves as a lubricant. I've used it to scrape off old threads to make threading easier without using oils that

Soapstone slips off at slightest pressure, mostly useless1. I assumed it was because the sharp threads interfered with tightening the twist cap. wrong, which didn't work after I smoothed the sharp edge of the thread with a grinder at an angle of 30 degrees.2. I assumed the 4 slots between the 4 clamping fingers didn't have enough play to clamp fully, I used a flex saw between the locking fingers to widen the gap, wrong again by slipping further.3. I took off the screw cap and tried to pinch the
