## Questions & Answers

**Q: what millimeter does the point taper to?**
A: It goes to a sharpened point

**Q: Is the "6-inch" item really 6" long, or 4-15/16" long as the listing 'title' states?  I'm confused!**
A: According to the General Tools product pages, the P81 is 6" long and the P83 is 4-16/16" long. As this is being written, this Amazon product listing has the P81 and P83 product descriptions incorrectly swapped with the "6-inch" and "4 15/16 inch" product selection buttons. This leaves one to ponder which item you will receive if you order the "6-inch" item. Will you really receive the 6-inch item (the P81, which is indeed 6 inches long), or will you instead receive the P83 (which is what the product listing suggests you might receive).

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Listing is screwed up, but items are solid.
  

*by T***U on Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2020*

First off, the "6 inch" and "4 15/16 inch" item selection buttons are swapped.  Follow the item description, ignore the product selection button label,I purchased 1 each of both the #81 scriber and the #83 scriber.  The #81 is only 1 inch longer, but it is *much* heavier and stiffer.  The #83 scriber is much lighter and thinner than the #81.Both are solid tools (I use for checking for wood rot, wall stud location, and cleaning gunk out of narrow spaces).

    It is not a piece of junk
  

*by P***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2021*

I purchased one of these in 1966. This one is of the same quality and I think it will be a great addition to any toolbox.
