Review on Crown 135 Marking Gauge, Beech: Expertly Crafted Precision Tool by Alexander Roberson

For less than twelve dollars this is a great tool. So far I've used it to mark all my rip, cross cut and resaw marks on 10ft 8/4 cherry for the table I'm making and it's square and sturdy. The needle is very sharp. You can spend more on a rosewood and brass gauge to make it look spectacular on YouTube, or for your grandchildren to install in an Applebee after you die, or you can get that beechwood number and spend your money on other tools that keep doing it.
