Hi Guys
Although I class myself as a diy-er, I appreciate quality tools, and try to buy what I consider the best I can afford. I recently decide my marking gauges had seen better days, and stumbled across the Joseph Marples Trial 1 range, for those who don't know these are based on a 70 year old marples design, yes I'm talking quality rosewood and 3mm brass plating inside and outside, The try square is tested twice during manufacture, and once before leaving the factory for trueness, and is certified as such. despite the higher price tag I think these tools are the dogs b*****ks, and as the title suggests has restored my faith in british craftsmanship, they will last me a lifetime.
