Editorial Reviews:

The Accuscribe from FastCap scribes cabinet trim, architectural moldings, countertops, tile and more for cleaner cuts and more creative freedom on a wide variety of projects. The Accuscribe maintains consistent scribe offset and stays parallel to surfaces as you mark out the pattern or cut-- a great feature for installing splash guards, cutting tile, and designing floors. The device's adjustable grip locks standard-size pencils tightly in place. The AccuScribe is made of heavy-duty, indestructible polymer for years of reliable use. The unit's articulating pencil head increases flexibility for scribing over a wide variety of materials and textures. A removable compass point makes it easy to scribe circles and circular patterns. A handy storage clip for the compass point ensures optimal safety and longer compass life. The AccuScribe's non-rocking bottom keeps the unit flat against the surface or wall for flush contact with the pencil tip. The tool collapses to a compact size to take up less room in the toolbox. The Accuscribe measures 5-3/4 by 4-13/16 inches when fully extended (length by height). --Brian D. Olson

User Comments about the FastCap Accuscribe Scribing Tool

2 stars for minimum usability. Osborne model carried by Woodcraft. Cheap plastic, doesn't hold adjustments, clunky and awkward. It is heavy-duty and has a nice fine adjust mechanism. I found it almost unusable, tried to get used to it for a while and finally tossed it. A very good set is the C.S. If you want a high-quality set, try West Marine - they have quite a variety for charting purposes.

I bought it initially for the broad, flat surface, thinking this ideal for wall and floor scribing, and because the brass parts made it appear to be better than it is. I recommend the tried and true compass or dividers. Pricey at about $65-$70, but will last a lifetime. Stay away from the cheap stamped steel school models, and don't buy a set without a lock.

Good for scribing trim to walls. Must have for stain-grade trim. Flat bottom for accrate scribes.

Their customer service is unbelievable. This Product has been improved and the nuts will now hold it in place. If you have one that does not work contact FastCap [.]. If there is a way they can improve it let them know, they'll listen. and they will replace it or take care of you in a way that will satisfy you.

The pencil provided (standard #2 pencil) is the only style that will fit. The joint makes it easy to work with. The only thing I would like to see changed is the pencil holder. I'd buy it again. I would like to be able to use a mechanical pencil or pen.

As a wood worker, drawing circles is a common problem. The pin pulls back for safe stage, but doesn't stay in the extended position without the help of a little electrical tape.4. Yes, but the builder could improve their design a bit. Great idea and well built. I think it would be nice if the pin side would also swivel to allow larger circles.Would I recommend it.

I first saw it in a wooden boat magazine and thought it looked good. 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.
