The media could not be loaded.  I’ve been trying to push myself from my rough carpentry background toward precision carpentry, and this has immediately made me feel more in control of my work. I’d been looking for a marking tool with a flat side for ease & accuracy with referential measurement, and this has fit the bill perfectly. The tip cover is fine but I plan to make something that fits the whole thing - I don’t quite feel comfortable with it in my pocket, as the small leather cover doesn’t stay on that well. But that’s not the “point” here :P - I’m very happy with the tool and feel like it’s offered me confidence as I push toward this next step in my craft.
