A great tool for keying brass photo-etch parts and is a handy tool for the D51 build.

Make sure that you can get replaceable tips for the pencil you purchase, and be very wary of breathing in fibreglass dust particles.

Lots of sellers on eBay

I've used one of these for many years, you can get a Brass Brush Insert for the one I've got, it came from RS (Radio Spares). A very useful tool just watch those little bits of Fibre-Glass that spall off continuously, I've had them stuck in my fingers, irritating, uncomfortable and impossible to see.
