OK
the marking gauge (being wood) is perhaps too obvious
apart from size, there's no readily seen distinguisher between the bevel gauges
the plastic gauge I recognise, but suspect is only there to provide a tool with a production era comparable with the Veritas cutting gauge
I'm going for the Veritas cutting gauge, because
1) it's the only tool with a "knife" and there's two tools with points
2) it's the only tool which, "out of the box", can be converted into a second tool -- install double gauge heads to get a mortice gauge
or its, the "pointy stick on a post" because it's the only tool that can be used in 3-D space withoiut moving the baseregards from Alberta, Canada

Love the little family of bevel gauges!
I'm going for the combination square, only thing I can see with plastic on it (assuming the other thing is coated steel like it looks)
What is that little 3d thingo anyway?

I'd have to say the combo square, 'cos of the tools there it's the only one which really has... accuracy issues.
All t'others are "set & forget" but those $#%@! squares?
(Oh... and all the others are set using something else as a reference. The square too, if you persist in using it, but you shouldn't have to.)

Maybe it's the height gauge because it's not really a woodworking tool ?
EDIT : I meant the surface gauge

OK, none of those are what I was thinking. The grey thing is an Incra height gauge. And it's made of plastic.
Too early for a hint I think. And no Groggy the bench is not in the puzzle
The square is fine Skew, it's me that has the accuracy issues.
The '3D' thing is, I think, called a surface gauge. It's used to mark a line parallel to a flat surface. It is more of a metal working tool but i use it for wood working.Those were the droids I was looking for.

ahh, (I know it's not what you are thinking) but the "pointy stick on a post" (so much more descriptive than "surface gauge") is also the only tool is not restricted to working with surfaces that are close to 90° to each other
I'm going to opt for the combination square on the basis that it's the only tool with 90° and 45° angles incorporated in itregards from Alberta, Canada

Nope, sorry Ian.
The bevels can be set at 90° and 45° as well as lots of other angles. That's a bit of a hint by the wayThose were the droids I was looking for.

Is it the combination square because the angles it can be used to measure are fixed at 45 and 90 degrees? All the others are infinitely adjustable for measuring / marking length or angle.

So close woody, adjustability is involved.
Good answer but not what i was thinking.Those were the droids I was looking for.

Could it be the Incra height gauge because it requires a tool to lock it in position as opposed to a thumb/hand screw ?

Ah ha! The combination square because it is the only one with a graduated measurement scale (ruler), and it can be used to set all the other tools (only 45 and 90 degrees for the adjustable bevels).

The Incra gauge because it's the one that is the most difficult to use as a depth gauge -- easy as a height gauge, nearly impossible to measure depth
