ULM1830 - Ullman 1830 Retractable Tungsten Carbide Scriber with Magnet

Precision Marking for Industrial Applications

The Ullman #1830 Pocket Scriber is a versatile and indispensable tool for machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance professionals. Designed with precision and durability in mind, this scriber features a high-quality tungsten carbide tip capable of scribing sharp, permanent lines on the hardest materials found in industrial settings. Whether you are laying out cut lines on hardened steel, marking ceramics for modification, or etching identification onto glass and hard plastics, the diamond-like hardness of the tungsten carbide point ensures a clear, distinct mark every time. Unlike standard steel scribes that dull quickly, the Ullman #1830 maintains its edge through rigorous use, reducing the need for frequent sharpening or replacement.

Safety and Convenience Combined

One of the standout features of the Ullman #1830 is its "Push-Click" safety cover mechanism. In a busy workshop environment, carrying sharp tools in a pocket can be a hazard. This scriber functions similarly to a retractable ballpoint pen; a simple click extends the tip for use, and another click retracts it safely into the housing. This not only protects the user from accidental punctures but also shields the brittle carbide tip from impact damage if the tool is dropped or stored in a crowded toolbox. The lightweight aluminum handle is knurled to provide a non-slip grip, ensuring that your layout lines are straight and accurate even when working with oily or gloved hands.

Integrated Magnetic Retrieval

Beyond its marking capabilities, this tool serves as a handy retrieval device. The end opposite the scribe tip is fitted with a powerful permanent magnet. This feature is invaluable for retrieving small metal objects such as screws, nuts, washers, or metal filings from hard-to-reach areas within machinery or assemblies. Instead of carrying a separate magnetic pickup tool, the Ullman #1830 allows you to clear chips or recover dropped fasteners instantly. With a handy pocket clip and an overall length of 5-7/16 inches, this multi-functional tool is designed to be carried comfortably all day, ensuring you are always ready for layout tasks or quick retrievals.
