Key Features
Overview
The Klein Tools Skribes Mechanical Marking Tool Set (8650123) is a mechanical carpenter pencil kit with spare leads. This is a jobsite marking tool designed for making clear, long-lasting marks on rough construction surfaces where a standard pencil smears, breaks or will not show: OSB, wood, drywall, metal studs, concrete, steel and plastic.
The kit includes the Skribes mechanical marking tool, a 10-pack of graphite replacement leads and a 10-pack of multi-color replacement leads. Klein lists the lead colors as graphite, white, yellow and red, giving you a mark that shows up on dark steel and concrete as well as light lumber and drywall.
The 2.8 mm lead is thick enough to reduce breakage while still making a clear line. A built-in sharpener keeps the tip sharp for detail marking, and the extended needle-nose tip reaches into deep holes, tight spaces and narrow openings, like marking through a pre-drilled hole or inside a box.
The triangular, anti-roll barrel keeps the tool from rolling off a sloped sheet of plywood or a ladder top, and a reinforced holster clip secures it to belts, pockets and tool aprons. The ABS body and the kit together weigh 4.32 oz (122 g).
Who should buy it: framers, drywall hangers, electricians, plumbers, HVAC installers and metal stud crews who mark on a mix of materials every day and are tired of sharpening carpenter pencils with a utility knife.
