Finally! A place setting for my workbench/dining table. I'm getting the whole kit (system).

Veritas must be appealing to the modern woodworker with a taste for plastic. But we can build a new case. Or, wait for Lee Valley to do it.

No.  You might be thinking of the combination plane.

Well, I guess WoodCentral was ahead of its time, then: From last year

Lee Valley is clever - this April Fools tool is just off reality such that many are probably missing the joke and think it's a real tool offering - well done!

Now all Rob has to worry about is a strike. A No-Fun-Strike. Anyone ordering on 4-1-18 will receive a box of bubble wrap and appropriately sized stone.

I thought that gauge looked familiar. Let's recycle another good one next year. Maybe, the Swiss Army Knife System. Have a special apron to fit.

Huh.

Consider me fooled!

Well, I'm glad they're busy making real tools, anyhow.

April fools?
Sheesh...
I thought it was cool. 
No
Couldn't see replacing my existing veritas marking gauge... but I could use the light with my vision ....

There is a broad line between practicality and gummy bear silliness. The LV April jokes played in that line. They were crossing midpoint and, tickling the Rockler-type useless and almost useless gizmos.
