The Rail Straightness Tester is designed for 
quick and easy transition between rails so 
that multiple rails can be measured 
efficiently. The handles by the wire spool 
allow you to relieve tension on the wire 
when transitioning between rails.  

There are also dowel rods and a magnet 
which holds the assembly together in (2) 
pieces so that it can be transferred to 
another rail with two hands
