INCRA TINYT03 Precision Tiny T-Rule 3-Inch

For this review, I removed the ruler from the base, then installed the ruler back into the base. I marked a perpendicular line, then slid the blade to the other side. The line was perfectly perpendicular to the other side of the blade. I did this several more times, and the lines that I marked did not deviate. The design of the base and the thumbscrews returned this tool back–every time.

If you’re looking for a t-square/square that is square, and who isn’t, then look no further. This Tiny T can accurately and easily mark perpendicular and parallel lines, be used to calibrate blades and fences/guides, and can fit in your shirt pocket.

Leica Disto E7400x

Just got this tonight, so we’re looking forward to taking it for a whirl, especially the Height Tracking feature. It’s nice to read distances, but it’s another to find the height of an object in the distance. We’ll report back in a bit with all of the details. Thanks!
