My only qualm is that I can see how this could loosen up around the tip, as one reviewer indicated that it had, but if that is an issue in the future, I will adjust my review accordingly.

Everything about this screams quality, and I am jubilant with my purchase. The thumb wheel offers fine adjustment, and this scribe can also be used as a marking gauge. The thin guide plate 0.

That was replaced by the threaded design, however the set screw was still built into the mold and thus remains on the tool. But if you find a cool use for it, let us know! Thanks Steve. Good thought Jeff. It does come with a level vial integrated though.
