T1 Tomahawk or T1M Utility on the same opening?

Doors
Choosing a Tool

Both tools will give you the width of a cased opening, so the question is not accuracy but what else you need from the tool while you are standing there. The T1 Tomahawk brings the green line laser for marking across a board; the T1M Utility is the compact one with the removable reference square for squaring a line at the same time. Put them on the same opening and the choice comes down to marking versus squaring.

A T1 Tomahawk and a T1M Utility are used on the same cased opening in a finished room, an outlet visible on the wall above. Both are run across the opening in turn and both displays are shown, reading twenty-five inches and six and three-sixteenths. The two tools are held side by side for size against the same jamb.
