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.

"Yup...we've added a laser...with only negligible charring." I love it!

Yeah! I almost thought it was a miss for April 1. Seemed like a
regular ad for a little while there. LOL

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.

I think the cheap ass looking set up gauges, the red ones that looked
like red painted dowels, was what finally fulfilled my expectations. ;~)

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!

Can you imagine being on the team that gets to make those videos every year?

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.

No, I had the sound turned off.

I'm surprised they didn't also offer a left-handed version.

despite the joke the marking gauge looks nice

never really looked that close at their marking gauge


anyone in the usa making good stuff like that

Perhaps, but you can't beat the stuff coming out of Canada - or the
price with a 75 cent canuk buck.

JessEm has really nice stuff, too. On the other side of the borDARE
