Woodpeckers

[Alan Lightstone]

I use their pocket T-squares by far most of all.

[Jim Becker]

I have a few things from Woodpeckers bought over the years, but I don't feel compelled by their stuff. I do like their quality; I just don't feel the need. The largest thing I bought from them was a big layout tee-square about two years ago. I'm actually yet to even use it simply because my work methods changed when I brought my CNC machine into the shop. It looks nice on the wall, however...

[Curt Putnam]

Where their product lines overlap, I would buy Chris Vesper's tools first.

First thing I did buy was their 26 inch framing square. then threw away the other crappy ones I had.

[William M Johnson]

The 1281 square is used every day.

[Will Blick]

a lot depends on the type of work you do...
so no single right answer
WP makes unique tools, often, they are the only one that make them...
quality runs from excellent to OK...
their squares are superb, and come in many sizes...
the larger square is a staple for almost anyone who uses large cuts or track saws..
the smaller squares such as 1281 just as good...
having excellent references simplifies many tasks...

[Rob Luter]

The little Delve square looks very handy.

[Justin Rapp]

So I shouldn't answer this question as I do have some woodpecker rules, corner clamps, and the drill press table. However if money was really no object, i'd have to say one of their router tables (which is on my want list for years)

[roger wiegand]

Never been very interested, it seems like gimmickry rather than innovation (compared, say, to the new tools that Lee Valley has introduced). The whole idea of "one time tools", ie tools with such limited utility that you can't sell more than one batch of them, puts me off.

[Rod Sheridan]

A try square would be my first purchase.....Rod

[Bill Carey]

If I was going to add a Woodpeckers item it would be the miter clamping tool.

[Earl McLain]

I lust for their drill press table. Don't know that it would be a tremendous improvement on the one i made--but it sure would look more impressive.
I do us my Delve Square a lot.

The Paolini pocket rule is used on every project.

Not sure that it is a "tremendous improvement" of my old one (which also was a Woodpeckers), but it is pretty.

I like the drill press table. My wife ran over the first one after ups propped it against the garage door. WP quickly replaced it. I also like their squares which are very accurate. I agree that one-time tools seems a bit gimmicky.
