    Quality is good and it works to my expectations - an invaluable ...Quality is good and it works to my expectations - an invaluable tool to achieve accuracy in marking out woodworking joints. 4Works but, not great qualityNot the best quality. I suppose I should have spent an extra 10 and gotten something a little more cleaned up. 4I was excited about what appeared to be a quality ...I was excited about what appeared to be a quality product, only to find upon arrival that the thumb screw is plastic. Everything else about the product is quality, I don't understand why this wasn't explained in the description because the photo makes it appear as being brass. 2One StarUnhappy with quality. Pins not parallel, different height and decided plastic set screw wasn't For me. Returned 1GoodWorks good 5Good tool except for the Fisher-Price thumb screwI ve seen old mortising gauges with clear amber thumbscrews, so wasn t too concerned about this, but it actually came with a cheap soft plastic screw complete with manufacturing seams. Also, no attempt was made to ease the sharp edges of the wood, making it uncomfortable to use. Despite this, it has the basic qualities of a good tool. Although a bit short, the beam is tight in the fence, both perpendicular to each other, the brass slide holding the second pin is a perfect fit not too stiff, not loose making setting a mortise width hassle-free. The minimum width between pins is small enough to cover most jobs. And, as advertised, it is made of European Beech. So, I decided it was worth fiddling with.The original thumbscrew hole was too wide to do anything with, so I drilled a new one in the fence on the opposite side to accept a -20 brass threaded insert (Lowes for 75 cents). See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIhEqoKE8Dc for how to install one--slotted end goes in first. This fit a knurled brass screw (Home Depot online $1.54/pair, plus shipping). To cover the original hole, rather than a futile attempt at matching the beech, I re-drilled the hole to 5/8 and epoxied in a contrasting ebony disk. After paring and sanding it down flush, I eased the all the edges of the tool, sanded out the minor machining ridges on the flat surfaces, and sprayed a couple coats of Deft Interior Clear Wood Finish Semi-Gloss Spray, 12.25-Ounce Aerosol.Very happy with the result. It was well worth the effort, although for a few cents more Robert Larson would have a high quality tool for which that anyone would pay several dollars more. 3Nice little gaugeNice little gauge, works great. I just thought I'd comment because I read a few negative reviews and bought it with hesitation. My two concerns were that the screw would not tighten the gauge enough, causing it to shift and cause inaccuracies and that the plastic screw was of poor quality. The screw works great and there haven't really been any problems. I found that it can be a little hard to set when holding it against a ruler, but that's just my poor technique. Mark a scrap piece of wood first, then set the gauge to those markings and it works great. The plastic might look cheaper than a metal screw, but honestly it might be the best material for this product. Definitely recommend this. 5You've been markedQuality wood but you need to go over the wood a few times to get mark on wood plastic thumb screw however its heavy duty and dont need much pressure to tighten. It does the job. I'd recommend it. 4Excellent potential. Silly thumbscrew.Skylark's review is right on the money. This has the potential to be an heirloom tool except for the silly thumbscrew. I did the upgrade that he recommended and it's now a very nice product. (Thanks Skylark). Pity that the manufacturer didn't do it properly. By the way aside from being cheap looking, the "fisher price thumbscrew" does work just fine. That's why I gave it a 4 star instead of 3. 4I wound up buying a brass insert and screw to replace the piece of crap that came with itSo when I bought this, the pic showed a tortoise shell type thumb screw. However when it arrived it was sporting a VERY cheap Mickey Mouse looking plastic thumb screw, with all the manufacturing marks still visible. I wound up buying a brass insert and screw to replace the piece of crap that came with it. It looks much nicer, and works perfectly. It worked fine with the original plastic screw, but looked incredibly cheap. As far as function is concerned, it works perfectly, and a good fit has been achieved between the body and the rail. All in all a nice tool. 3
