Checking fence posts once instead of guessing twice

Fence work compounds: a post set off by half an inch pushes every panel after it, and by the end of the run the gate will not hang square. The T1 Tomahawk takes the midpoint and the height on the same pass and saves both, so the final bolts go in once. The line stays straight to the last post because nothing was carried in anyone's head.

Post spacing and post height both have to be right before the bolts go in, because a post that is off shows up in every panel after it. Taking the midpoint reading and the height on the same pass, with the numbers saved, means the final bolts go in once. The line stays straight all the way down the run.
