Point To Point Layout Tool
Solves a tedious layout problem
Point-to-Point extends 8 stainless steel points over a maximum distance of 24", maintaining an equal distance between each point. Using points 1 and 7, you can also easily find the center of any board.

To mark out positions on even wider boards, simply divide the panel into equal sections of less than 24" and then subdivide with Point-to-Point. Always expand the tool fully and then compress to the final size. Because of the necessary slight "float" in the joints, it is not recommended for high tolerance joints like dovetails. Made in Great Britain.

Utterly useless
Reviewed By:  Dave (Berkeley, CA) 
I've been looking for a tool like this for years, and now I know why it's been so hard: nobody carries it because it's an awful tool. I bought this M-Power Point-2-Point layout tool from Garrett Wade, but it's going back. Why? For one, there's a lot of slop. While keeping the tool closed on one end, I can open the other end by about 5/8ths of an inch: comparing the measurements, you'd get 1/2" on one side, and 1" on the other. That's a 100% error! The literature says it's not recommended for high-tolerance joints, but this is ridiculous; I'd get better results eye-balling it. Opened halfway, things aren't much better: with one side at 2", the other side varies between 1.75" and 2.25", for an error of about 25%. But don't open the tool all the way, because it'll get stuck, and you'll need to gently pound on one side to get it to collapse again. The tool is also too small, smaller than it looks in the photos. When stretched fully (not recommended), there's about 3.25" inches between points. There are eight points, which results in a total length of 22.75" There are four oddly-placed thumb screws to tighten the joints (not pictured), but they slip easily when fully tightened, making them useless as well. Finally, the tool needs to be carefully supported in order to use it, meaning that you need two hands to hold the device and a third to mark the points. I don't know about you, but I've got just the two, which makes this tool a whole lot more trouble than a simple ruler (which, by the way, is much more accurate).
