ULM1830 - Retractable Tungsten Carbide Scribe with Magnet

Durable Layout Tool for Professional Welders

In the world of welding and fabrication, accurate layout is the foundation of every successful project. The Ullman Devices Pocket Scriber offers welders a reliable solution for marking cut lines, drill centers, and fit-up points on a variety of base metals. Unlike soapstone which can rub off or fade, or permanent markers that may burn away or smear on oily surfaces, the tungsten carbide tip of this scriber etches a physical groove into the metal. This ensures that your reference lines remain visible even under the intense glare of a welding arc or the heat of a cutting torch. It cuts effortlessly through mill scale, rust, and surface contaminants to leave a distinct mark on mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

Fabricators often work in cluttered environments where small metal parts or filings can become a nuisance. The integrated magnetic tip on this scriber serves as a handy tool for checking if a material is ferrous or for picking up small metal debris and dropped fasteners. It adds a layer of utility that goes beyond simple marking, making it a versatile addition to any welding jacket pocket. The tool is built to withstand the rough conditions of a metal shop, featuring a robust body that protects the internal mechanism.

One of the standout features for welders is the retractable point. Welding jackets and aprons are protective gear that shouldn't be punctured by the tools stored within them. The "Push-Click" safety cover ensures the sharp carbide tip is concealed when the tool is clipped in a pocket, preventing accidental stabs to the user or damage to PPE. With its knurled grip providing excellent control even when wearing light work gloves, this scriber is a practical, safety-conscious choice for professional metalworkers who value accuracy and efficiency.
