Review on 🔧 General Tools 142 English Plastic: Precision Hand Tool for All-Purpose Applications by Brian Cruz

Yes, it is a good tool. I used it a year ago and I really liked it. It's strong, light and accurate enough for woodworking. I don't feel I need to be too careful with it in my business. Falls on the ground, no big deal. I recently bought one based on one I used years ago and it appears to be the same tool. However, one important detail is missing. The older one had a very good conversion scale on the back. Of course we can all do math and reduce fractions, but it was really nice to be able to turn an old tool over and get information on the back. Want to spend the day reducing breakage? Not me. 22/64? 16/64? etc. I'm always disappointed when I buy something I've used in the past only to find that the manufacturer saved savings/costs by giving you less. As much as I love this tool, I wish General didn't have a handy conversion bar on the back. This is why I am giving low ratings. Attention manufacturers: Consumers will not always accept your cost-cutting programs!
