Did you watch the whole video? The guy rigged a hammer to tap on his fuel pump to get it going.

And? I still don’t understand what’s so unusual.
EDIT: oh I get it, he should’ve used a big screwdriver, handle first cos he’ll dent the pump with that hammer! Too funny!

I have 4 of those..... But they were free.Made out of scrap Mahogany, and very fine grain D-Fir. I haven't used them in years, but they hang nicely on the shop wall.

I'll bet they didn't cost you almost $400.
Some people obviously have way too much money!

I was kidding with the SO what a nice B-day present that would be... The rest you can figure out for yourself.

I have those. Love them along with my parallel cutting guide bars. When it comes to woodworking tools…..I definitely have more $ than sense, with festool and woodpecker tools anyway. 😉😎

Like I said.... Free.... Except for an hour or two of slack time putzing around with scrap wood.
Actually the longest set, which can reach about 7' is Redwood, and Canyon Live Oak. The others are Mahogany and D-Fir.

Sorry Jules. My humor meter has been out of whack since before Christmas. I'll try to re-calibrate it before my birthday.
Ease the sheet.

It’s not handy very often but when it is….it’s really handy. It’s an infinitely repeatable absolute dead nuts on way to check consistent spacing or square when clamping frames. I always found measuring the inside or outside corner and then comparing the other way a little hard with a tape measure.

Well, the more I thought about it, the more I realized it was more a tool I'd admire for its precision than it's usefulness. Sure, it would be nice for measuring the bottoms of drawers and a few other things but I've never needed anything like that so why blow the money now? I cancelled the order.Sorry Jules. My humor meter has been out of whack since before Christmas. I'll try to re-calibrate it before my birthday.
But now that I know my SO's threshold for b-day presents...

This is on my want list. Comes in multiple sizes and stores compactly. Seems ideal for breaking down sheet goods in the driveway or making a temporary work surface.

i'm a guy with a small work space, permanent benches, break down tables and saw horses present a real storage issue...this looks like a great solution.
P.S.
these guys have other neat solutions too https://boratool.com/

I've got the 2x4 model. I used it on one job. I've gone back to sawhorses and plywood. Much sturdier.
These things beat the hell out of the centipede
