Maybe you could review your compact skidder, Mark. I bet there are a bunch of us that are interested in hearing about it.

You are right there John, It’s not going to take the place of your starret combination square, ever. I do think that it has its place in tool bags though.
Charles, you have to sleuth out the Kreg at lowes, at both of my local stores they hid it on sort of recessed endcaps, or it recedes behind bulky stuff.

Well I guess that I won’t have to review the Kreg tool. Thanks Kevin.
I’d like to hear your thoughts on it RedWood. I value your opinion.

I second this, if Mark is up for it.
In my Lowes, the Kreg stuff is in the same area as the router bits and things.
I definitely did not realize Lowe’s carried Kreg stuff, but I will keep an eye out for it.That being said, peer pressure like what Kevin said isn’t helping me hold my stance on holding out from buying this tool… ha!

peer pressure…hold my stance
It is a whole heck of a lot cheaper than some or the things we end up buying after being brought up here (nudge, nudge).
I got mine yesterday. Thanks Amazon prime. It seems to be pretty tight, nice and compact. I’m looking at it as a nice way to set the depth on a router or router table. Quick to set casing reveals, ect.
It’s a small tool that you can just carry in a pocket.

Next trip I’ll look around a bit more… I only ran in to get a few keys made
My Lowes have a rack or an aisle of biscuit cutters, Kreg stuff, planer blades, and such. Usually not much to it. It seems to always be near where they set up the displays of table saws and such.
I did I show up on a job the other day with one of these is seem to work pretty well. It scribs better than a speed square base for the rest and it seemed like it took in a little longer delay things out.
If you are looking for a good scribing method, try this one. It’s called a Simple Scribe and allows you to make a scribe line at varying distances from the wall.
If you want an even simpler solution..use a fender washer. Think about it…

There was some talk of those simple scribes elsewhere here, and a couple of people have picked some up. I think that Brad bought like 50 of them.

I sure hope he didn’t buy that many! It’s a fairly simple tool…built well enought that as long as I don’t loose it, I’ll probably never have to buy another.
Also, it’s lime green, so I doubt it will get lost!

InstagramI thought the simple scribes were only available on-line.
That would explain why they can’t be found in Woodcraft.

I can’t find them on Amazon??
