Review on πŸ“ Mr. Pen- Wheel Marking Gauge with 2 Extra Blades - Woodworking Scribe Tool for Precise Marking, Woodworking Gauges, Marking Guide for Wood Projects by Shawn Price

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Terrible quality control. Can be enhanced with a 3D printed clip.

The threads on the handle are so badly formed that the handle wobbles in the handle and only catches the handle threads on the last 1/2 turn of the handle, but that will happen too probably not last long. I will therefore return the item as unusable as soon as possible. The markings on the shank, while relatively accurate in relation to the blade, are barely visible except with reflected light at a certain angle, and are therefore not easy to use. Metric markings have an incorrect additional mark of approximately 0.5mm when viewed from one side. There are no extended marks at 5mm or 1/4 inch. I do not recommend a marking gauge. After four months I decided to improve the gauge by removing the faulty handle and making my own 3D printed sliding clamp pin. which you can put in and take out with the hand holding the measure, so that you can take the measure or measure with the other hand

Pros
  • Includes: one wheel scriber + two spare blades
Cons
  • Minor issues
