Trend Point-2-Point Equidistant Measuring Tool for Marking Equally Spaced Points, Quickly & Accurately Locate & Set Positions, 85mm to 710mm, M/P2P01

Accurate with no 'wobble' extends quite a long way too

Seen something similar on youtube (Metal Meltin Anthony) where he was welding bars on stairs.Sadly this unit spreads only to approx 80 cm, but it suffices to do little, detailed jobs, where the exact distances are tricky to measure and repeat.

This just takes all the guesswork/ maths out of making a series of holes equally spaced apart. Don't be fooled into getting the cheap versions of these, as they have a lot of slop in them and are really inaccurate. I wouldn't trust these for engineering work, (not that they're designed for that) but they're good enough and do exactly what they were designed for.

The trend M/P2P01 POINT TO POINT SCALE UP TO 600mmThis is a most useful tool if you are marcking out lots of holes in wood or metal. I recently made a patch in the bonnet of my vintage tractor and used small M3 set srews closely set to give the impression of riveting. The point to point was excellent at setting out the fine spacing without the need to get the pen and paper out to work out the divisions and the measuring. I have loaned it to a colleague so he can have a go on some of his projects. It has many uses where one might want to set out say fold lines.The tool is well enough made perhaps a little flimsy but certainly value for money.

Very good would recommend

Ok for roughing out on small jobs but not accurate enough for fine woodworking as not all the same spacing

always had trouble with pencil and paper time wasting working out equal distancing. Now in the past set it mark it then if longer pieces just ensure stays sam move up to last mark continue marking. Has couple metal pins and four rubber tips for pins but not sure for what pins are for so contacted Trend. Recommend its far better quality than last one I had( not Trend)

Another great tool from trend, easy to use and a great time saver
