I don’t have great eyesight, and I really struggled to read the 1/32-in. graduated portion of a steel ruler, so for me, the Magnetic Rule Magnifier from Veritas is an extremely useful tool. The magnifier consists of three magnetized sections, a base, a shaft and a plastic magnifier arm. To focus or change the angle of the magnifier, it’s simply a matter of moving the shaft up or down or moving the arm to the angle desired.

Bahco 6-Inch Card Scraper
The size and thickness are what matter here. A consistent performer, this Bahco scraper is found in many shops we visit.
Veritas Micro-Adjust Wheel Marking Gauge
The adjuster runs through the beam from a small knob at the back end right to the cutting wheel, which moves in and out as you turn the knob. This arrangement works well but makes adjustments a two-handed operation, requiring a little more effort.
Starrett 4" Double Square
Head is easy to remove, replace, and lock down; narrowest blade, at 5⁄8 in., made it easier to fit into tight places; hard to read under bright lights.
