Good product! to measuring and layout tools

I was looking for a good all round set of mounting blocks for my shop. They are perfect for all needs, I have measured them on three separate digital scales and they are perfect for cars some of which even exceed the 1000 category. Highly recommended

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Negative gift

Says the Imperial have the metric.

I don't usually write reviews but I ordered this set based on the imperial units (inches) advertised. What I got was a set of metrics that couldn't even be selected when I placed an order. I will return but will be disappointed when the person you are buying this for as a gift opens it and it is not what was expected.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Not sure

Dead Accuracy! on Saw Caliber

I would give 5 stars if it wasn't for the product, the container is cheap plastic and ripped when opened! BUT the blocks themselves are PERFECTLY finished! verified with digital and vernier calipers and all blocks have zero deflection markings along the full length of the block. Highly recommended and would buy again if needed!

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • I'll write later

A must have for measuring and marking tools

I did not purchase these after looking at the many 2-4-1 table saw and router settings in other tools. I chose a separate pole because it's more versatile. I can use it on my table saw and router. On a router I can use it upside down on the plate or right side up on the dial. I love the fact that I can place multiple bars for different measurements. I used my gauge on all the blocks and the tolerance is perfect. !Worth the money although it took me a while to decide. UPDATE: I bought the set as

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Inferior body - measuring and marking tools

I am a visually impaired carpenter and always looking for products that will keep me productive. This setup kit is a very nice addition to my collection of equipment that I use to avoid losing rulers for measuring parts and setting up saws and fences. The set has one significant drawback in the form of an inferior case. Using rough and inferior foam to hold the blocks in place is likely to result in cracking and warping with very little use. Without an easy way to keep blocks in order, theirโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks

What waste! for saw gauges

Garbage First, business. Cheap. Broken after first use. Reminds me of a colorful pencil case for children. Second, they don't even match. That is, they mixed and matched from different batches to create a set. Look at my pictures, the other blue color is not your eyes or the picture. A block isn't even the same font. Third ridges throughout the block. I run my finger over it, not smooth at all. Fourth, 1/16 inch is warped (as many reviewers have pointed out). Fifth, accuracy - I didn't evenโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • There are disadvantages

I have decided to join the comment that I have seen in other reviews of this product. In particular, the two thinnest blocks (1/16 inch and 3/32 inch) are curved - 1/16 inch more than 3/32 inch. If I had to guess, the marking process induces a surface tension that thinner blocks cannot withstand. In the image I've attached, these two blocks are stacked face to face (I call the marked side face) to make it clear. In both cases, the flex is such that when you place the back (the unmarked side) on

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Can easily be retrofitted

It's very convenient to have a set of mounting blocks, but this set has some very annoying design flaws which shouldn't be overlooked at the price: 1) The blocks aren't labeled on all sides, so need to fold it back into the box in the correct orientation, otherwise it won't pull out the size you want quickly. 2) The case is of poor quality and doesn't have a snap-on lid - it pops open if dropped. What's even more annoying is that the top and bottom are identical - 50/50 chance you'll open theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Obsolete
