Review: Great and necessary tool! - I don’t know how I lived without it for the past couple of years. Well worth getting it , even if it’s just to learn that my “flat” kitchen table that is used to level my cutting boards before planing wasn’t that flat over the whole length, but now I know which parts of the table I can use for flattening.
Review: Reasonably priced and very usefull - This is my absolute go to tool when trying to make sure something is flat. I have used it numerous times and it is beyond useful. It is straight and sturdy, surviving in my chaotic shop without issue.
