📏 Swanson Tool TS152 8 Inch Hardwood: Precision Measuring for Optimal Accuracy Review

Do not buy. The rulers on the opposite pages were not aligned. They were at least 32nd, making the 16th side completely useless.

At 64, nothing impresses me. However, this place is a work of art! The ruler is 1/8 inch thick and very easy to read. Available for $8 at the Revain Warehouse!

Steel ruler dangling in wood. And on further investigation a crooked screw was found cracking the wood, and because the screw was crooked it stuck proudly in the brass bar.

I like the style and look of this square, but it was very inconvenient to use. I had to lightly sand all the edges with a 220 grit sanding pad because the wood and brass were too sharp to use.
