If you know what you're doing, this Rabtcaty Dual-Purpose Metal Scribe Tool can be a handy addition to your workshop. It’s designed for marking curved fillets and 45-degree bends on steel tubing (or similar materials), and it does that job reasonably well. The two stainless steel templates offer radii markings from 20mm to 65mm (small) and 20mm to 100mm (large), giving a good range for layout work. And while the 45-degree guides are self-explanatory, the curves take a little more know-how to use effectively.That’s where things start to fall short. There are no English instructions included - just some Chinese text on the templates. If you’re already familiar with metalworking layout techniques, you’ll figure it out, but if you were hoping for a step-by-step guide, you’re out of luck. The Amazon listing provides some help, but not enough to fill in the gaps. That said, the product photos on Amazon are adequate, so you can get a good sense of what you’re buying - I won’t be adding extra pictures because they wouldn’t add much value.Build Quality & DurabilityThe templates are made from 22-gauge stainless steel, which is fine for light use but won’t hold up well in a professional setting unless you take extreme care not to deform them. A little too much force while scribing or handling, and you might end up with a warped template. That said, for woodworking, plastics, or lighter-duty applications, these should hold up much better, which is actually why I ordered them.Included AccessoriesThe kit also comes with a blue marking pen, which works well on metal. However, for metalworking, a scribe is the better tool - it’ll give you a much finer, more precise line that won’t wipe away with handling.Final VerdictIf this kit had English instructions and markings, it would be an easy four-star product. As it stands, I’m giving it three stars - it’s decent for those with experience, but not beginner-friendly. If you need a lightweight, affordable option for occasional use, especially beyond just metal, it’s still worth considering.3 - Stars

This angle & arc marking tool is a pretty useful tool. You can quickly use it to easily lay out nice rounded or 90° bent corners on square and rectangular tube steel. It's a simple tool but effective and fast.

This tool is amazing! It combines measuring, marking, and bending, making my DIY projects so much easier. I’ve used it for metal, wood, and pipes, and the precision is perfect. The pipe marking feature saves tons of time. It’s sturdy, durable, and feels built to last.
