If you got your fingers between the rods it would make an interesting torture device

That was a good one. Nice to know that Rob and the folks at LV in general have a sense of humor. This one goes nicely with the LA Jack with the 2 1/2 lb./1" thick blade from last year's April fools page. :D

I received it from a friend as well. Not knowing hand tools, I fell for it :) It is nice to see the larger companies having fun.

Add a few flags and it kind of reminds of a World Series trophy...which by the way The Boston Red Sox still own!

Someone on the oldtools mailing list actually contacted LV customer service and got a straight answer. Even though it was just an April Fool's joke, they really did make one. That beast actually exists!

Not only does this marking gage exist, but it will be on display Saturday at the Guild of NH Woodworkers Joinery Symposium at Pinkerton Academy in Derry NH. In fact, it might just make an appearance in a coupla photos sitting on the bench in the Chester Toolworks benchroom.:D :D Stay tuned.

You gonna get the plane with the 1" thick iron from last year also?
