Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Meet the Markal Weld-Riter Flat Soapstone, a trusted marking companion for welders, fabricators, and metalworkers. Built under the Weld-Riter line from Markal, this flat soapstone delivers dependable, easy-to-see lines on metal surfaces when you need fast, accurate layout and seam marks.

Why the Weld-Riter Flat Soapstone stands out

The flat, broad tip creates smooth, continuous lines that glide across steel, aluminum, and other metals without snagging. Its low-profile design fits naturally in your hand, giving you steady control for straight seams, cut lines, and alignment marks—even on curved or irregular edges.

  • Single-piece, carded packaging — ready to grab in the shop or on the job site, with minimal clutter in your tool drawer.
  • Highly visible markings on metal — the dark, easy-to-read lines help you plan welds, cuts, and layouts with confidence.
  • Versatile for fabrication and welding tasks — ideal for seam layout, edge alignment, drill point marking, and reference lines during cutting or grinding.
  • Easy to manage and erase — lines can be wiped away clean with a cloth when you’re finished or ready to re-mark.

Ideal for

Professional shop environments, auto body and metal fabrication shops, HVAC installers, and serious DIY welders who need reliable guidance without leaving messy or permanent marks. If you rely on precise alignment and clean, repeatable marks, this flat soapstone is a practical, economical choice.

How to use for the best results

  1. Hold the flat edge against the metal surface and apply steady, even pressure to draw a straight line.
  2. Maintain a slight angle to keep the tip from dulling; rotate the stone as needed to preserve a sharp line.
  3. After completing the task, wipe the line clean with a cloth and re-mark if needed for the next step.

With the Markal Weld-Riter Flat Soapstone, you get a purpose-built marking tool that aligns with welding and fabrication workflows—delivering clear, actionable marks that help you cut, weld, and assemble with greater speed and accuracy.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
