With a magnet on one end I can leave it with my trowel and it’s still there next time. Brilliant. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good little etching tool! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 14 September 2021* I am using this to etch on perspex. Very pleased with it. ### ⭐ Crap *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 6 October 2020* Great scriber but snapped after a few times use.
