I am into hand tool woodworking and need at least a couple of sliding bevel gauges for various tasks. I already had one (swanson i think) that has a knurled thumb nut and works very well. Sliding bevel is a pretty simple tool and one should not have to spend a fortune for this. One of the most critical features of a sliding bevel is to lock solidly else it compromises accuracy. Thumb nut locks very well but the wing nut here locks even better. However I experienced a major issue where the wings of the nut protrude far too much and makes it unusable to register against tight corners. I spent a few minutes to file the wings until they don't protrude too much. The picture posted is after I have filed the wings of the nut. I can still put decent finger torque and it works better. So,for the price point I don't mind it too much.

Man kann damit einen Winkel abnehmen, ist vielleicht etwas zu klein, wird vermutlich schnell rosten. Der Stahl und die Verarbeitung ist eher mäßig.

I got the 9 inch model on sale for $11 or so before tax. It looks and feels really nice. Real wood with brass bars inlaid into the top and bottom on each side. Good design, the brass will be tougher on those corners than wood. The blade locks up tight. There were some small burrs but nothing egregious. Really quite a nice tool.

Very nice workmanship - to rival or exceed the more prestigious brands.

good for the price. I had to remove the blade and do some smoothing ,it removed some of the finish but was necessary to make it work smoothly, still think it is a very good value. would not hesitate to buy again

My work requires using period-correct tools from the early to mid 19th century. This is exactly what we have here. Spear & Jackson have been in the business for over 250 years, and this or something very much like it shows up in their early catalogs. Definitely "If it ain't broke don't fix it."Construction is solid with good tolerances and sturdy materials. Adjustment is simple, and the blade doesn't slip out of position. Some more recent innovations like set angles and integrated ruling might be nice, but again those are modern and minor.

Good value sliding bevel square for woodworking. Overall fit and finish good. Some sharp edges on blade that needed minor dressing with stone/wet & dry. Thumb lock works well and holds solidly.Blued blade, brass trimmed handle look so much nicer than chrome & plastic and should last a long time.

Solid construction; the weight of it is nice compared to a cheap plastic substitute. It locks down well and holds the angle you want. Works great for drawing dovetails.

Die Schmiege liegt gut in der Hand (jedenfalls in meiner), die Feststellschraube ist genau richtig, nicht zu leicht-, aber auch nicht zu schwergängig und greift gut, sodaß da nix wackelt. Da gibt es keine Kritik, deswegen die volle Punktzahl.
