The Faithfull Depth Gauge with Protractor is designed for woodworkers, metalworkers, and DIY enthusiasts who require high-precision measurements of angles and depths in a single tool. It provides the essential benefit of dual-measurement capability, allowing users to verify dimensions and set angles simultaneously for accurate joinery or machining, though users should note that the compact 150mm blade length may limit its effectiveness on large-scale construction projects.

The rule can measure up to 150mm or 6 inches.
Yes, the rule is graduated in both metric (mm) and imperial (inches) units.
The protractor features graduations from 0 to 180 degrees in both directions.
The blade is integrated into the gauge assembly and is not designed to be swapped out.
The tool is typically supplied in standard packaging; it is recommended to store it in a tool box drawer to prevent the etched surface from scratching.
While durable, it is intended primarily for indoor workshop use; if used outdoors, ensure it is cleaned and dried immediately after use to prevent rust.
Ensure the washer behind the thumb nut is clean and properly seated; if it continues to slip, check that the threads on the nut are not obstructed by debris.
Because the graduations are deeply etched, you can lightly highlight them with a dark wax pencil or marker and wipe the surface clean to leave pigment inside the etchings for higher contrast.
To begin using the tool, ensure the knurled thumb nut is slightly loosened to allow the rule to slide freely. Align the zero mark on the protractor with the rule for a square setting, then tighten the nut to fix the position. For depth measurements, place the flat base against the surface and extend the rule into the hole or depression until it touches the bottom. To maintain the tool, keep it clean from sawdust and metal filings, which can interfere with the sliding mechanism. Occasionally wipe the rule with a light machine oil to prevent corrosion, and store it in a dry environment when not in use.
