    Mystery Double Yellow Ruler Measure Thingy

    I was just at the Atlanta Woodworker's Show. I got there late and sort of had to rush through. While there, I quickly passed a booth where a guy was featuring some sort of yellow ruler looking thingy that he claimed would revolutionize the way you measure and mark things. I was intrigued, but quickly moved past as I was on a mission to find great "end of show" deals. My intention was to come back to this booth afterwards.

    After I bought a bunch of JET's new parallel clamps, I left the show and hauled the clamps to my car. It was then I realized I had forgotten to visit that booth with the revolutionary marking/measuring tool. Now I have no idea what it was called or how it works.

    I do rememeber thinking it was probably to complex for most people, especially those who don't realize there's easier ways of measuring. The guy was showing how to hang pictures dead on, each time, everytime. Also he might of said "you won't need to use numbers anymore!" or something of the sort.

    Does anyone know what this tool is? I'm a sucker for things like that. I've gotta have one.

      Sounds like some type of storyboard. Was it two pieces that slid against each other in parallel?

          Yes, in fact it was. Are there similar things like this out there? This guy was so passionate about his presentation. It was one of those things that most people would think is too complicated. Almost like they don't even know there is a need for this.

              Is it this one?

              Is it Trimgauge by Brunley Tools?

              http://www.trimgauge.com/

              I found it on the Woodworking Show site.

                  Can't imagine that being it since I bought one three years ago from Lowes. It's ok but it hasn't revolutionized the measuring market. From the sound of it, this fellow was touting a new product, as I would imagine, being it was a woodworking show.

                  Think it was about eight bucks back then.
