I thought maybe it was 5" long, and could be used to 1) close paint cans, 2) drive nails, 3) remove bottle tops, 4) crack nuts, and 5) measure angles with a great deal of precision.

Or it could just be a 5" sine bar.

I’m glad you asked, but we still don’t understand the 1, unless 1 inch wide?

I believe it is indeed 1 inch wide. Any sine bar with a defined ratio can only be so at one particular angle so 5 in 1 makes no sense at all.

However 5x1 is a very common size. Perhaps even the most common.

Somebody just got a little confused since it is the ratio that defines the angle. It's just that the 5 never varies and the other leg does.

So ya, 5 inches long by 1 inch wide.

That’s what I thought, but it looked a little thinner due to the cut-out in the box.

And Sellers wonder why items don’t sell.
