Woodpeckers Finally Adds 6 8 Try Squares

Woodpeckers Finally Adds 6 8 Try Squares

Ive ranted about the wonder of marking that is a Woodpecker Try Square since I received my first one many years ago.

I began with their standard 1281 model of 12" square. Then as they produced 26", 18", 6" & 8" models as One Time Tools, I added them to my collection. I find them all indispensable and I find the 6" and 8" models the most used in my shop.


Unfortunately, all but the original 12" were One Time Tools, made in very limited quantity.

Recently Woodpeckers has changed that. There new model 851 and 641 Try Square are 8" and 6" respectively. Theyre not part of the standard square lineup. This means greater distribution and consistent availability.

The new 851 & 641.

If youve not used a Woodpeckers Try Square yet, you should. Id suggest starting with the 641. Its the smallest investment and its small size makes it the most useful.
