Gutimore Round Soapstone Marking Kit — 2 Aluminum Holders + 14 Refills
Product description
What’s included: two round soapstone holders plus fourteen soapstone refill rods (total pack contents: 2 holders + 14 refills).
Holder construction: the pencil-style holders are made from aluminum using a CNC process for consistent fit and finish. The metal is corrosion-resistant and engineered for everyday handling, with crisp thread detail for secure tightening and an ergonomic barrel for a comfortable grip.
Refill details: all sticks are #1 Select natural grade soapstone, measuring 1/4" in diameter and 5" in length. They lay down a clear white line that wipes off most surfaces and is especially visible on darker metals.
How it works: the holder clamps the soapstone to prevent breakage and lets you advance or retract the stone for controlled marking. The threaded tip tightens around the rod so you can set the exposed length precisely for fine or bold lines.
Intended use: designed for marking on steel, iron, aluminum and other hard materials. Frequent applications include welding layout, metal fabrication, construction layout, and textile pattern marking where removable, high-contrast lines are required.
Pros
- Durable CNC aluminum holders
- Bright, removable white markings
- Holders protect rods and allow fine adjustment
Cons
- Refills are consumable and will be used up
- Only produces white marks
- Holders require occasional tightening
VerdictA practical set for anyone who marks metal or textiles regularly. The machined aluminum holders keep fragile soapstone rods protected and let you tighten or advance the stone for precise lines. The refills are standard 1/4" rounds, 5" long, and produce bright, removable white marks on steel, aluminum, iron, and other surfaces. Good build for daily shop use and saves replacing ruined sticks.

No more snapped soapstone sticks
Handy set for shop use — the metal casings protect the fragile sticks so they don’t shatter in a pocket. The kit includes two screw-clamp holders and the refills (14 rods) so you can replace stones quickly. Threads hold the rod firmly and the build feels solid enough for daily fabrication and welding layout.
