T-Rule Precision Marking T-Square, Stainless Steel Positioning Scribing Gauge, Carpenter Mark (3in)

i gave this a 5 star even though when i recieved it, it had a small bend in it at the end. it probably happened in transit and i was able to bend it back almost straight and it doesnt really hurt my ability to use it. every thing else about this product was great.

Good quality easy assembly

This little jobber makes it a bit easier to draw a line parallel to a board’s edge. The rule portion is a bit flimsy, so if you’re planning on keeping it in an apron pocket, you probably want to rethink that. You’d have it bent out of shape in the first day.The first one I received looked like it took a beating before the anodizing was done; the aluminum was scarred up, with the red deep in the scars - obviously a manufacturing defect. S’all good though - they shipped a new one and it’s good.Would buy again (but would favor a mfr that uses a thicker rule).

Picked this up after seeing a Incra Tiny-T ruler being used on a youtube video. I liked that this was 6inches vs the 3inch Incra. This thing is awesome and extremely convenient. It is accurate and smooth to use. It easily fits my 7mm mechanical pencil lead. Really I don't think I've bought a more useful tool recently. Great product for laying out lines and a great alternative to the higher priced brand.

This marking t-square has very small markings. If your eyes are not good, good luck. It is also flimsy, easily bent. If you can treat it like a fine piece of glass, it will last. I have been hanging it up, use it, hang it back up. I am afraid if I set it down, set something on top of it, and it is shot.

Setups

ok

Originally I bought the 12” and have come to realize that I needed a shorter rule.After buying the 6” I still needed an even shorter rule. For things like inner measurement of drawers for handles was the big plus. Also, drawing lines down the wood for <3” is better handling than the 12” or 6”.I had great success with the 12” and after getting the 6”, I also bought the 3”.I now have a complete set to use as I need.With any rule, checking for accuracy is number one. I’ve not found any issues with the accuracy. I checked this against a few other measurement tools that I know are accurate.
