This looks like a handy tool for building a stand.

That's an awesome tool. I hope HD sells them.

I think this would be more of a DIY tool lol. Pretty much all those functions are things your average carpenter already does just as quick with a tape and speedsquare.
But a cool find for DIY projects nonetheless.

Pretty easy to do most of that without the tool, but if it was cheap, I would probably buy it.

Its got some nice features. Sure you can do most of it without it so it won't justify a high price but it will make it easier, so would still be nice to have.

I would definitely pay the 14 bucks they are asking for it. I would also probably laugh at another carpenter who used it if I did that for a living.

I remember seeing a video like this in high school last year...great tool, can't believe I forgot about it...whoever designed it is a millionaire by now

I loved the part about "the exact width of a 2x4". I have yet to find a 2x4 that is the exact of any other 2x4.

This will greatly depend on the grade of lumber you are buying.
