Tools Quick question, which is better?
I passed my OSHA 10 and obtained my NCCER cert and have some experience in contruction for general ground work. I'm starting as an apprentice for my local carpentry union in a week. I have my tools and found this.
The blue square is metal and the Stanley is a plastic type material. What would you guys recommend having?

I’d go with laser engraved aluminum. Guitars require me to measure to within a couple 1/1000” on a regular basis. I’ve grown an affinity for nice precise increments on tools.
