Historic #1 Odd-Job |
Reproduced by Garrett Wade
Ask any old timer and they'll tell you: "In the old days, all you needed was a #1 Odd-Job, a hammer and a saw, and you could build anything".
Made from 1888 to the early 1930's, this classic tool is as useful today as it was then. We guarantee that if you pull it out now, you'll be the talk of the shop.
It's an inside mitre and try square, a depth gauge, a scribing tool for arcs and circles, a T-square, a depth marking scribe (excellent for marking out mortises), a plumb level and a rule.
Made of solid brass and steel, it is carefully machined on all sides. A 12" long rule is available as an extra. Add one to the #1 Odd-Job (standard with the 6" Rule) and save. The Odd-Job will provoke admiring glances at home or in the office. Made in Taiwan.

| This tool has become so essential in my work that I pocket it as I walk past my workbench because sooner or later in the next hour, I'm going to need it. I just ordered another one. |

| This lil guy is named brilliantly. He's not a framing square, and not really a speed square, but if you need a quick square, or to scrbe something or mark a small circle, it's in your pocket and will do that. |

| I doubly enjoy doing something when I get to use my Odd-Job. There is such a "quirk" element to this handfull of brass! I have a complete collection of "speed" and try squares and each of them is usually way bigger than they need to be for whatever's the task at hand. The Odd-Job comes out of my toolpouch and sets things straight ...maybe I should say perpendicular! I get such pleasure when a tool looks good, feels good in my hand AND does a job of work without fuss and furor. Everyone needs an Odd-Job. |
