Tools and Hardware Reviews of FastCap Accuscribe Scribing Tool
Customer Review: Not Great
Summary: 2 Stars
I have used this scriber for about 6 months now and have to admit to being disappointed by its performance. I was so looking forward to the flat edge allowing the scriber to run along the wall accurately and easily, but the tightening nut just won't tighten, and that causes so many problems I have finally taken it out of my bag and am going back to a compass. There is nothing more frustrating than running this thing along a wall and having the dimension change because the pencil slips a little.
If they could figure out how to make that blasted nut tighten, this would be an easy five stars, but as it stands I have given up on it.
Customer Review: Great---mostly.
Summary: 4 Stars
Great idea and well built. I first saw it in a wooden boat magazine and thought it looked good. As a wood worker, drawing circles is a common problem. I've used it a couple times and have these observations:
1. It holds it's position and measurement quite well.
2. It is constructed of good materials.
3. The pin pulls back for safe stage, but doesn't stay in the extended position without the help of a little electrical tape.
4. I think it would be nice if the pin side would also swivel to allow larger circles.
Would I recommend it? Yes, but the builder could improve their design a bit.
Customer Review: Good Product. Not the same as previous reviews
Summary: 5 Stars
Previous reviewers have complained about the quality and usability of this product. Clearly, from my perspective, the problems with the earlier versions have been addressed by the manufacturer. The scribe now has captured screws that do not turn when tightening the thumb screws. Setting the scribe is easy and secure. The flat back keeps the distance consistent. Once the adjusting screws have been tightened, the tool keeps its setting for accurate scribing. A very useful tool for anyone who needs to fit one irregular surface to another, especially when the surfaces are not flat and square.Customer Review: Good for some things
Summary: 4 Stars
This scribe is good for long, shallow-angle scribes like baseboard scribing to the floor and wall. It is not good for tight-radius scribing. For that, get the Veritas scribe which is more costly but best - or else make your own mouse-type scribe from a piece of wood with a pointed end and holes bored with a countersink to hold the pencil in. Works well.
This scribe is good for scribing the back sides of things. The pencil sharpner is nice too.
Customer Review: Accuscribing
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently bought this scribe and it looks like it's going to take some time to get use to. The problems I have had when using it is all the adjustments. It has three adjustment screws that take extra time to use. The old scribe tool I used had one. It is a little bulky also. It does the job but to me it seems like someone tried to invent a better mousetrap.
