New LV 12 in one marking multi-tool - Mark A Smith - 09-04-2016
This looks like it would be a nice extra tool to have around when you need a second bevel gauge, another T-square, a small compass, or any of a number of other marking and measuring tools.

Unless you need precision or accuracy!

If you like having extra tools lying around, this is one. It is a faithful copy of the original. It isn't replacement for any dedicated layout tool.

Which is exactly what Lee Valley says. I'm not so sure it's any less accurate than a sliding bevel, though. There are grooves in the lower rule that fix the upper rule at a 90 deg angle. It's kind of cool looking. If Woodpeckers offered the same tool, it would cost 3-4x as much, so it's a bargain!

Yabbut, if Woodpeckers offered it, it would be red - worth every extra penny!
