Digital Marking Gauge

My eyes are getting old so I purchased this to make accuracy easier and it certainly does that.
It feels like a quality tool.
The only downside is that there isn’t a fine adjustment wheel to make it easier to dial in the exact distance. You can under or over shoot the desired reading.

I am registered blind and a woodworker, for years, I've relied on steel straight edges and blades to mark out / scribe boards, etc, but it's always left me finding myself in the position of lacking accuracy. This is where this digital scribe comes in, ok it doesn't have Bluetooth which I wish it had to send data to a speaking phone, but, this works with a device called an OrCam Read, a speaking OCR scanner, reads out displays, etc and changes my life on a daily basis. not only can I feel the markings I'm making for a project, but also with the ORCAM Readsmart, the display can be spoken out. Tools like this give me freedom to achieve what I want to and I'm really pleased that this works for me. So you understand, all I see is pure black, so I'm very tactile with what I do, the tools I rely on, etc. What I like about this scribe is the reliable build quality, a positive locking to ensure the scribe wheel stays where it is, etc. So you understand whilst writing this review, I use a mac with a screen reader called VoiceOver which speaks out text and gives me independence in what I do each day. I can't thank Rutlands enough for an amazing shopping experience. The plan is to at some point purchase other digital gauges to help with my needs.

This is really solid and well made. So far I've used it both for marking and as a depth gauge. It is excellent for both. The wheel is nice and sharp, the digital display large and clear and overall, this is a quality tool.

I was in the market for the analogue version of this tool, the Laban one, but it's been out of stock for ages. I have a number of digital measures doing different things and they can be a little light weight, not this one though. It has a real solid hefty feel=confidence in the hand, good price even for an unbranded tool

A sturdy piece of kit that is accurate, easy to use with the wheel being far superior to the old fashion spike on the manual version. Unlike the sliding bevel which cannot be zeroed this gauge is easy to zero.
