Hi Folks,
Does any one use one these? I got some email ad and found it to be an interesting tool.

Mine is used frequently. Most often it is used for scribing a pencil line a set distance from an edge.

It is sometimes use as a depth gauge.

Occasionally it is used as a large compass.

Less often it is used for a plumb level.

It is also nice as a 45º and inside square check.

It is a handy tool that can stand in for a few others.

Mine is used more often than any of my combination squares. That is the main tool it replaces in my shop.

Mine (the Woodcraft version) lives in my shop Apron. I bought the longer rule for it, but it's never been used. It may not be the best tool for everything it can do, but it sure beats running around fetching (or looking for) the better tool every time I turn round.

I like the looks of the tool except I wish they would NOT laser engrave the rules.

I'm pretty sure I'm not qualified to run one of those things.
