The eccentric placement of the rod through the brass face and
aluminum body ensures a large reference surface for square
registration. The short side can also be used when space is
restricted. As an added advantage, the eccentric face makes this
gauge less likely to roll off the work surface.

Is what's even funnier, is, if someone hadn't mentioned April Fools
Day, Ida figured it fer an authentic ad. It wasn't until the Sharpie
attachment, that I started becoming suspicious. ;)

Did you hear the $10 word used in that segment?

"With proprioceptive practice, you can create the 2 marks simultaneously."

I had to look that one up! ;)

How much fun would that be?

Agree.

It was the cheapo plastic magnifying glass that started me wondering.
I know Lee sells some cheapo junk, but that plastic mag glass was
"crappo/cheapo" in the extreme. Hardly what I'd expect from Lee's
fine tool line. ;)

Perhaps, but you can't beat the stuff coming out of Canada - or the
