Eclipse E225 scriber

Personally I will leave the clip on, it may be awkward but it will stop it rolling off the bench. I was pleased to find it had a carbide tip, making it even more of a bargain, so I ordered another for my son.

Well I just bought one of the NOS E225s at £4.99. That's less than a replacment steel tip for the E220.

Thanks for the tip (pun intended)

Robert.

Hi, well I also bought one of those £4.99 scribers, and although it wasn't very quick in arriving, it came today and was before the estimated delivery time. I haven't ever had one of these before, except one that I found several years ago, which was very rusted up and well abused, as the very tip was broken off, and the nut that holds it into the body wouldn't undo, although it would turn about one or two degrees. I had to use a bit of very brute force and ignorance with two pairs of pliers to get it off, which split the nut and busted the screwed part off the body that held the tip in place.

Needless to say the new one works OK.

Regards Nick.
