Layout & Marking Kit

Layout & Marking Kit - Main image
$16.77 $27.95 In stock

The big, fat Sharpie King Size in this kit is a great substitute for layout dye. It marks on virtually any surface, provides an opaque covering to scribe, and doesn't dry out in the can.
Not to mention that it avoids all the hassle and limitations of shipping and using hazardous layout dyes.
The Starrett scriber has been the industry standard for many years.
The Sharpie Metallic marker can be used on dark materials where contrast is needed. It is also great for identifying materials in your steel rack.

John N. ★★★★★

I've been using the King Size marker to lay out cuts on steel tubing, and the opaque coverage makes scribing so much easier than with the old dye method. It really doesn't dry out in the can, which has been a pleasant surprise.

Aurora Q. ★★★★★

The fat marker covers completely on metal and plastic, making scribe lines super crisp. It hasn't dried out at all after a few weeks in my toolbox. This kit finally saved me from having to use sticky layout dye.

Ryan ★★★★★

The opaque coverage from that king-size marker is perfect for scribing layout lines on dark metals, and it's way less messy than traditional dye. I've used it on steel and aluminum so far with no issues.
