I purchased this try square to review it for the Fine Tool Journal. Colen’s squares are incredible. The fit and finish is off the chart. The fact that you can adjust the square if it goes out is very ingenious. And the brass blade makes your knife slide so easily.
In recent years, I’ve switched over to wooden squares that I make myself. This square is idle and should be put back to use.
No apologies. It is used (gently) but is perfect in every way. The stock is inlaid blackwood. Retail: $190.
Price: SOLD: $150 plus $7 domestic shipping.
About Tool Sales on My Blog
Please read this if you are interested in buying a tool. Why am I selling these tools? Read this entry before you freak out. There is no “master list” of tools that I can send you. I am working through several piles of tools and will list them when I can.
Want to see only the tools that haven’t sold? Easy. I’ve created a category for that on this blog. Click here and bookmark that page. When you visit that link, you’ll see only the tools that haven’t been sold.
While you can ask me all the questions you like about the tool, the first person to send me an e-mail that says: “I’ll take it,” gets the tool. Simple. To buy a tool, please send me an e-mail at christopher.schwarz@fuse.net.
Payment: I can accept PayPal or a personal check. As soon as the funds arrive, I’ll ship the tool using USPS. If you want insurance, let me know. I’m afraid I can only ship tools in the United States. Shipping internationally is very time-consuming and paperwork-heavy. My apologies in advance on this point.
If you don’t like the tool when you get it, I’ll be happy to refund your money if you return the tool. But postage is on you.
