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). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars 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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Many uses *by A***T on Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2021* I find this as a must have tool on my workbench it has many uses highly recommended --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/10888065-general-tools-83-pocket-scriber-4-15-16-inches-overall](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/10888065-general-tools-83-pocket-scriber-4-15-16-inches-overall) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
