00:00Cheap glass scribing pens that actually mark ceramic, voiceover script.
00:04Every glass pen I bought last year was a waste of money until I found these.
00:09Scratchy tips, dull points, ink that wiped right off.
00:12So I tested the 5 cheapest scribing pens with the best reviews, and these actually cut into
00:17ceramic and glass. Here's what held up. First up, number 1, the high hardness tungsten steel
00:24scribing pen. This is the one that started it all, carbide tip, rock solid in the hand,
00:30and it glides through tile and glass without slipping. Almost 5,000 people bought it,
00:35and after using it, I get why. At 688, it's the safest bet if you only want to buy one
00:41pen.
00:42Number 2 is the double-end sharp tungsten steel pen, and the double tip is the whole point.
00:48One end for fine detail, one end for the harder stuff, so you're basically getting two tools for
00:53465. Highest rating of the bunch at 4.8, over 4,000 sold. If you do a lot of mixed
01:00marking,
01:01grab this one. Number 3, the single carbide tip engraving pen, at 4.55, is the cheapest pen
01:08that still does real work. Glass, ceramic, metal, even wood. It's the one I keep in my pocket because
01:15losing a $4 pen doesn't hurt. Nearly 4,000 sold, 4.8 stars. Best budget pick,
01:23no argument. Number 4 is the 3-pack of metal plate glass markers, and this is the value play.
01:293 pens for $7.28, that's under $2.50 each, cheaper than buying one. Perfect 5-star rating,
01:36which I rarely see on cheap tools. Keep one in the garage, one in the kitchen,
01:42one in the toolbox. This is the one I'd buy twice. Links to all 5 are in the description,
01:48so you can check prices and see which one fits what you're doing.
01:52Appreciate a like and a subscribe if this saved you some guesswork,
01:55I'll keep testing the cheap stuff so you don't have to.
