Tool Price Public Service Announcement

I recently decided I wanted a digital height gauge for setting frames etc.. I went on Amazon to check prices, I certainly didn’t need a top of the line but something with good reviews and reasonably accurate. I found one I liked and was astounded at the different prices for the exact same tool! If you search for something in Amazon it is worth your while to scroll through the pages to check the prices offer by the various venders! I bought the lowest price one and received it in 5 days with free shipping. I did test the tool against a known accurate scale it it seems very accurate. No battery included, but a minor issue.

Sorry the photos didn't post as expected but I purchased the $7.79 one rather than the exact same tool for $47.89.

I bought one from Lee Valley when it was on sale.  Don't remember exactly but I think it was around $16 CDN.  It's digital and is very accurate with the test blocks I have.  It was a special promotion they had on and I don't think it's even available to purchase today.  Too bad because the one they advertise now is $75.
