Very cheap: measuring and marking tools

I'm really surprised at how cheaply it's made, especially the plastic part. Don't drop it. Funny, I could buy it from Harbor Freight then.

Pros
  • Sturdy ABS case
Cons
  • Fragile

Did my job on carpenter's squares

I had a small project to complete. It worked. I still use it as a ruler/drawing. But there is no other use for me. It was well built for mass production, with no gaps.

Pros
  • Stainless steel blade with rust protection
Cons
  • Requires socket

"ABS case " means the case is made of plastic, making it as useful as a rubber pry bar.

"ABS case". that means ABS plastic (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) so you end up with a plastic square. I used a good quality square to test the squareness of this device. At room temperature it was fine. Later, after the area was under direct sunlight for some time, it was no longer square. In another opinion, the description should be "plastic case" or "ABS plastic case" because "ABS case is not very simple.

Pros
  • Precision engraved black dials
Cons
  • Available in white only
