This looks like a good way to avoid the time and stress involved with piecing together a complete woodworking layout and marking kit from individual components. Plus, it gives you all the basics in a really nice and tidy all-in-one package, which simplifies the need to find a place for everything.

The set’s price isn’t really beginner-friendly, so it might be a better fit for intermediate woodworkers looking to upgrade or replace their beginner tools.

    yikes, that seems a little steep. i question some of the additions. 3 tape measures, small and large rulers and the marking pencil. seems like they could get the price under 300 it may be a little more palatable. i would think that almost everybody already has those items, but hey, nobody has ever accused me of being a woodworker so what do i know.

    I do love when stuff is all nicely packaged together and separated by foam, makes me feel like James Bond. Although the price on this seems a bit high, especially when I already own most of these measurement implements. I also have an empty LBoxx and some Kaizen foam, maybe I’ll make my own.

    high price and a lot of it just seems like filler items. most people could probably put together the same kit for way less

    $349? For measuring tools, that’s nuts.

    For woodworkers? No striking knife? Lee Valley has their own Veritas branded striking knife and it is only $11. Puzzling. 4″ caliper is lame. I use a 6″ fractional in the shop for woodworking.

    obviously not designed by a wood worker

      I don’t know if I agree with that. My feeling is that they looked at historical sales data to see which tools woodworkers often bought together, and based their bundling decisions accordingly.

    As a full time woodworker, I admire most of the tools Veritas puts out but this set is way over priced for what it offers. For me, precision is key to what I do yet these look like something you could put together at Harbor Freight for $50. There are too many filler implements and not enough actual precision instruments designed to bring the level of accuracy to bare for such a steep price.

    Veritas, if you sell ANY of these you need to give those folks a refund and an apology!
