Clarke Brothers Wheel Marking Gauge - Woodworking Marking Scriber Kit With 2 Replacement Cutters - Wood Marking Tools With Graduated Inch & MM Scale - Solid Metal Bar Wood Scribe Tool For Carpenter

What an awesome tool!! The design is simple but the functionality is excellent. Perfect addition to my toolbox.

Accurate and easy to use. Solid design

That is a very good product.The weight of the tool is ideal and nice to handle.The markings are clear and readable.The icing on the cake is it comes with one blade mounted on the tool and two ( 2 ) spare blades with mounting screws in a plastic bag.Buying this tool is a good deal.

My Clarke gauge came and here are some thoughts about it.Pros:- Metric (0mm-150mm) available on one side; SAE (0”-6”) on the other. Having both options is really great.- The rod of the gauge is black and the gauge markings are gold. The contrast is easy to see. Also, the rod is nice and heavy. I’m no metallurgist, but I would say it is steel. Feels substantial.- Flattened edge of one side of the circumference of the brass guide plate; I saw this feature in the product views before I purchased. This flattened edge allows for a 1/2” clearance (5/8” clearance w/out the flat) which allows user to ‘not’ have to hang the marked up edge off the bench for any stock down to 9/16” thickness. Small variance - but handy. Another nice feature of the flat is noticed when you set it down. If you’ve ever had a gauge roll after you set it down, you’ll appreciate what I do - namely, this Clarke gauge rolls to the flat and then stops! Nice.Cons:- While the rod is nice and substantial, & the brass is great, the collar beneath the brass plate which holds the set screw seems to be aluminum (?). I’m hoping it is not zinc. Whatever it is, it is lighter than the rod and causes me to wonder about durability. After all, product is only as good as its weakest part. This may be the weak part on this tool.- The flat edge on the brass guide plate appears to have been flattened on a grinder. This is fine, except a production step was skipped in polishing this edge. The corners on the flattened side are quite sharp. They are not ragged, but they are very pronounced right angle. I think I’ll be taking some 1000 grit sandpaper to mine to polish this out.- Single locking screw is nice. But I wonder without having two set screws if this will ever come loose as I use it. If it does, that would be most unfortunate.I think this will be a handy tool in my collection. Not sure that it will replace my Veritas, but it will certainly be pulled out when metrics are needed (my Veritas can’t do metric).Would give 5 stars, but because of work necessary to deal with sharp corners and the questionable “feel” of the collar and only one set screw - four stars feels right.

I had been using one my grandfather made and used for about 30 years. After misplacing the wedge, I decided to retire his marker with a new one. Instead of making one, I bought this. It works quite well, leaving a sharp edge to work to.I consider it to be one of my more useful purchases.

I like the weight of the marking gauge and ease of use to tighten and loosen. The wheel is nice and sharp leaving a clear mark

Never had one, but always wanted one. Does exactly what I need it to, and looks good doing it.

Great add to my toolbox when doing woodworking. It feels good and it’s sharp. It makes marking your work easy and clear.
