I have one of these. Hang it in your workshop in a place that you will remember you have it. It is useful, not all the time but when you need it, you need it. Well worth the cheap price
I bought this thing about a year ago and hadn't paid much attention to it. That is until a few minutes ago. There is so much information and functionality on it that I came here looking for a guide. Low and behold, this is it. I found it. Thanks so much for putting this together. One question I have is why does the compass start at 1 in instead of zero? Also, the video mentions the other nearby holes as metric something or other but they look to be 1/4" apart to me. They are labeled .5, 1, 1.5. The first hole is not labeled but is circled and I had assumed it to be the center point. Other holes are unlabeled and are located at 2, 3, 4, 5 and 8 along the 8" ruler. The last hole is also the angle function's reference point. I think there is more to this compass than I can decipher.
I that thing is great I worked at at a hardware store in my younger years. Great to have in the shop when you have to order hardware or other stuff online.
I thoroughly enjoy all your videos! I would appreciate any input/experience/advice you have in regards to Ares tool brand, specifically their ratchets.
I used to have one as well, even recall looking at it a time or two. But as my dad often said, 'The more _things_ something does, the fewer _things_ it does well'

Thanks for this review-decided I needed it and see a gage-it exact copy for $2.48 at Home Depot in stock-new tool day for me coming up!
Useful tool. I have one with only the bolt and nut gauge?
Hello again Catus Maximus and Tiny
Thank you for another Great Video 👍 That looks handy!!!!!

How many things could he do? 🙂
i used to have one of these years ago! i never used it so i got rid of it, but it always seemed like a useful thing to have lol
I actually use mine quite often. Very handy.
You could roll on the text using acrylic tape and acetone.
Someone's trying to sell those for 22 bucks on amazon, it's $2 at lowes though. I always wonder why some stuff is like that on amazon.
Kept mine with my tap n die sets and drill bits. Somehow, i have misplaced it. Ill probably buy another someday. Thanks for sharing.
So many references!
Good job love you From Dino Mares Fontana CA
I would like one of these made by Uri Tuchman.
Hey I have that!
✌
👍
I stole one from lowes thinking it was free - OOPS!
That's pretty damn funny!
Got 3/4 of them not that one but close enough never use it.
Great, but you really need to show us how to use it with some real hardware.
