Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

Just another shop tool that I don't use very often. But nice to have when figuring out angles when building snow cab.

I have a digital version of the same tool. Very very handy when you need it.

Along the same lines, I use this tool a lot too:

Accurate to 1/3rd of a degree, which is plenty for my needs.

Great suggestions - I had seen the magnetic dial type before, that digital "ruler" style is new to me...
Both would be good additions to my toolbox and probably speed up/simplify some of my CAD (Cardboard Aided Design) sessions.

I have the same one . It been used so much over the years the magnets are all but worn out . Doesn't stick very good anymore . Not bad for being about 30 years old .

@RoamingGnome Gerry, I prefer Auto CAD, Using a cardboard template transferred to a piece of car door before making the final part from stronger material.

Had to read it 3 time before I got "Auto CAD" I am so steeling that one .

@Spike188 - Thanks for suggesting the upgrade to Auto Cad. I'm sure it would make sturdy, robust templates and be good for production work... For now I'm probably safer sticking with old school cardboard.

I was using a zip cut today to open up the holes for the headlights on my 222 hood. Judging by the slice on my fingertip after I found a little burr - your version of Auto CAD may be too "cutting edge" for me...

That's a tool I don't have and have been thinking of getting. I'd like to avoid a digital one so I don't worry about the battery, as I don't really care about a tenth of a degree precision.

I have one but like most I’m not sure where it is. Harry
