"This is clearly designed for countertop measuring. It would be in direct competition of Leicahttps://shop.leica-geosystems.com/measurement-tools/3d-disto/blog/video/leica-3d-disto-countertop-digital-templatingThese are priceless for stone installation or any other templated operation that requires CNC. If you have never run a CNC to match a hand template these save immense amounts of time and are highly accurate. Inside dimensions are typically taken with a laser nowadays as cabinetmakers, or the old measure and mark 10 inches, then measure form the other side up to the previous mark. This looks like a good design, I would recommend an attachment for a suction cup as well as tripod."

"I'm curious who this is geared towards. How is this better or less packaging then a cardboard or paper box that most nails come in anyways? I'm all for innovation in the construction and DIY world, but this seems like it is solving an issue that does not exist. What person is going to undo their belt to put on a roll of nails. Just get a waste pouch or a toolbelt and it can hold all of the tools and nails you could ever need and it will last you a lifetime and could be passed down for several generations. Also if you are concerned about packaging, go to a contract supplier instead of a big box store and buy nails or screw by weight and use reusable containers. Sorry for the rant, I just can't support wasteful design that supports trends that don't exist. "

"Makita has been making the same tool for quite some time for around 500 dollars. Honestly a lot of people use this tool to create "antique" furniture. If you build something, don't cheapen it with applied character. Don't be restoration hardware."

"That's some high quality journalism right there...."

"I'm a Furniture maker. It's Ebonizing, very simple. Take some white vinegar, and some steel wool and non galvanized nails. Let it sit in a jar for a few weeks, brush onto woods with higher Sugar levels, Oak works the best, especially quarter-sawn white Oak. Really old technique, really simple to do."
