Review on πŸ“ Starrett 11H 6 4R 6 Inch Combination Wrinkle: Precision Tool for Accurate Measurements by Douglas Davis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

An invaluable tool for measuring and marking tools

I made this purchase after making a mistake assembling the box due to an obtuse combo angle and breaking the rule of triple checking measurements before proceeding had violated. It's not something I would have bought a few years ago and it's not a tool anyone should invest in. If your job doesn't require precision (2x4 cutting, general building, etc.) you can spend $15 on a combo square and it'll be fine. On the other hand, if you are interested in woodworking projects, this is an investment you should make. This would also make a great gift for someone who fits that description. I would say that I'm somewhere between a beginner and a semi-skilled carpenter and I'm always more adventurous with projects and investing more time and money in this hobby. The box I mentioned earlier showed about 20 hours of work and $150 in wood molding when I made the mistake. When I devote so much time and material to a project, I get pissed if I ruin it with wrong measurements. It only takes 1/8 inch to reset everything. I learned an expensive lesson and invested in a tool to avoid repeating that lesson. It's well built and very accurate.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
