Woodpeckers - 6" Carpenter's Square (Rating: 5)

Not much you can say about any Carpenter's Square. They have a wealth of uses every day and is probably everyone's most used measurement and\or layout tool.

So why buy the offering from Woodpecker's?

For one, it has a unique design that allows the square to sit on its base without falling over. Make's checking 90 and 45 degree angles a snap. This feature also gives the tool heft which comes in handy.

The quality of the materials insures accuracy of the tool over the life of its use. There is just something about tool plate aluminium that oozes quality and makes a tool feel good to the hands. The anodized material insures that it will not oxidize. The Woodpecker Red is just a bonus!

If this were a tool that was used once in a blue moon, it might be hard to justify its price. But, for a tool that one will probably pick up every time you step into the shop, it is the last carpenter's square you will ever need.

Its size is very useful. Anything larger, and it just would not fit in some of those tighter spots or be as useful.

And accuracy? Well, it should be well within one thousands of an inch over its entire length and stay that way for years to come.

Woodpecker products come with a lifetime warranty and are made in the USA. Probably the best reason to buy their products. You will be supporting your local business owner.
