Veritas Miter Hook
Measuring accurately from an inside corner is simple with this miter hook developed by a trim carpenter. Just press the pins into the end grain (the pins are slightly angled to draw the hook in snugly) and hook your tape measure into the slot that is exactly even with the miter end. A rare-earth magnet grips the tape as you measure. Also usable for outside corners where the hook works the same way, except pins are not necessary. The miter hook has ledges machined at 1/8 in. and 1/4 in. intervals – perfect for accurately setting reveals in house trim.
The hook is handy in a shop as well – anywhere you need to measure mitered corners. Machined from high-impact ABS, it has hardened pins and two rare-earth magnets. It is fully reversible; the magnets are exposed on both sides. |
