Ok, here's my contribution to *more woodworking set of topics:

We just had a thread about favorite tool, here's the alternative:

What tool did you buy, that 1) you never used beyond once or twice or
2) ended up being worthless and you kept it anyway.

Here's mine:

Years ago, I bought a guide for cutting sheets of plywood. Cost me
over
$100 and I only used it once. I still have it.

Your turn.

Some times the "quality" of the tool and the "ease of use" *and the "what
you would expect" factor in as to whether you would use the tool more than
once.

I am very close to buying "another" guide for cutting plywood sheets. *My
first one sucked, and was a PIA to use. *My next one made by Festool will
come with a Festool circular saw. *That guide is stupid easy, conveinent,
and probably more than what you would expect from a guide.

After that

Just made the same thing for my jigsaw, a narrow strip
of 3/4" ply screwed to a wider strip of 3/8" ply, cut the edges
off with the jigsaw, line the sole side with several strips
of friction tape. Cost was three minutes' digging through
the scrap bin for material. Works perfectly. Hold down against
the line to be cut and saw, no time wasted looking for and
setting up clamps -- less really is more. This device WILL
get used frequently.
