A scriber can be used to punch holes in metal.

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Sometimes
• D. Never

Answer: (B)

A scriber is a marking tool used to lay out where to cut or drill by scratching a fine line on the metal surface. It does not remove material or create any opening. Punching holes requires a hole-making tool like a punch or a drill (often guided by a center punch for starting a drill). So, the statement isn’t true—the scriber cannot punch holes. You might mark the hole location with a scriber and then use a punch or drill to make the hole, but the scriber itself does not create holes.
