Glass and Metal Scribe AWTools AW29700 — 150 x 6 mm

AWTools Glass and Metal Scribe AW29700 — 150 x 6 mm is a compact hand scribe designed for scoring, marking and scribing hard surfaces such as glass, sheet metal and ceramics. The tool combines a rigid shaft with a shaped tip to produce precise layout lines for cutting, breaking or bending operations. Its 150 mm overall length and 6 mm cross-section make it easy to handle in workshop and construction tasks where accuracy and compact size are required.

Advantages

The scribe provides controlled, repeatable marks on hard materials without the need for power tools. Its solid construction ensures stability during use, while the moderate length allows access to narrow or confined areas. The fine tip geometry produces clear score lines suitable for guiding cutting wheels, glass cutters or shears, and its lightweight design reduces hand fatigue during extended manual marking sessions.

Suitable for

• Scoring and scribing glass for cutting and breaking
• Marking sheet metal before cutting, bending or welding
• Layout lines on ceramic tiles and similar brittle materials
• Manual preparation work in workshops, glazing and construction sites

Key specifications

• Length: 150 mm overall
• Cross-section: 6 mm
• Material compatibility: glass, sheet metal, ceramics and other hard surfaces
• Design: rigid shaft with a shaped scribing tip for precise lines

How to use

Hold the scribe like a pen and position the tip on the intended marking line. Apply steady, controlled pressure and draw the tool along the surface to create a continuous score line. For glass, make a single continuous pass at a consistent angle to achieve a clean score suitable for breaking; for metal, use multiple light passes if needed to achieve a visible mark without slipping. Keep the tool steady and ensure the workpiece is properly supported before proceeding to cutting or breaking.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and cut-resistant gloves when working with glass and metal. Keep the tip clean and free of debris to maintain marking accuracy. Store the scribe in a tool holder or protective sleeve to prevent tip damage and accidental injury.
