This is probably the most fuctionally desirable mass-produced bevel gauge ever made. When the blade is locked with the thumbscrew on the end of the handle, it is nigh unto impossible to accidentally bump out of position. This one is sure to become a trusted friend in your workshop.
Although it is not the prettiest example around, this gauge is 100% functional. Most of the plating is gone, and there is staining on the entire tool, but there is no real pitting. Some dings and scratches. I did disassemble and clean it, making sure that all of the parts were functional. It is mechanically sound, and ready to go to work.
