Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right Strait Line marking tool?

Consider the surface you are marking, the length of line you need and how visible the mark must be. For larger layouts such as walls or floors, choose a tool suited to longer straight lines. For smaller joinery tasks, pick something that gives a fine, precise mark.

How can I get the most accurate results with marking tools?

Start from a reliable reference point, keep the line taut or the tool steady, and check measurements before you mark. Make sure the surface is clean and dry so the mark shows clearly, and double-check the layout before cutting or drilling.
