Woodpeckers Precision Framing Squares are back - One Time Tool

[Sean7a]

Funny I just noticed the thread regarding these and we got the announcement this morning.  Few weeks to order, you know the drill.  Shipping this May.

Woodpeckers Precision Framing Squares @ Toolnut.com

I just got the email.  I've been on their list for awhile -- really want one.  I just hate to spend the money right now, my wife and I are heading to Europe on vacation in April, and she really knows how to shop!  (An anniversary trip for us -- celebrated 40 years last May, but put off the trip until she retired.  But I digress).

I tried your link, but it failed multiple times.  Anyone else having trouble?

Didn't work for me.  Try this one to get there...

Thanks for the heads up.  Fixed

I got an email from Woodcraft announcing the offering.

I have one of these squares and use it frequently.

Sean,
Is there any difference between ordering direct from woodpeck or going through you?  The prices are the same.  Does your free shipping apply, even though I assume these will ship direct from woodpecker (as opposed to woodpecker shipping a bunch to you, and you shipping individual items out).

 

[Sean7a]

We ship items directly from our location just north of NY City.  Yes, free shipping applies to all items here.  In fact any order over $40 on Toolnut.com receives free shipping and ANY order on Festoolproducts.com receives free shipping.

Hi

what about Canada?

 

[wow]

I am curious -

Does any dealer plan to order and stock these, at least in limited numbers? One of the things I absolutely hate about the one-time tool model is that there is no way to replace a tool if it's lost, damaged, or stolen. If the tool really is as valuable and useful as it seems, how happy would someone be living without it once they got used to it?

Maybe I am being overly concerned about an event that may never happen, but it bothers me enough that I am compelled to ask...

Wow, we as dealers are not allowed to stock one time tool items.  We can purchase only for the amount we have presold.  This is what makes them a one time tool.

  Not a problem Benjamin

After thinking it over a few weeks, I decided to buy the 18" square. I know it will come in handy for many things. And the best part, since it doesn't get shipped until around May, the wife said she would get it for me for my birthday [wink] Now maybe she will forget about it and also get me another sortainer [big grin]

I'm a bit torn and looking for advice.  I have the 32" precision T-Square (which I use in squaring up my MFT by scribing a line on a wide scrap board for the rail to match) and the 12" 1281.  So I'm wondering what people have found to be more useful in their experience, the 18" or the 26".  I feel like the added length of the 26" has certain advantages, but that it might be too much in some cases, like for example, when I need to check the squareness of a drawer I'm gluing up or a narrow carcasse.

[popcorn]  Same situation for me.

Varies based on the work at hand. I have the 26 and plan to order the 18, also have the 12 & 18 triangles.

The 26 is great when doing base cabinets, and also when used with the 55" rail for crosscutting full sheets.

Squares are like clamps, you can never have too many.

Richard,

I have the 18-inch triangle so I don't really see the utility of also having the 18-inch square.  What are your thoughts on using one versus the other?

I do plan to order the 26 -inch square.

Thanks!

Really just the ability to square both inside and outside corners. The triangle is limited on outside corners, other than right at the edge.

That actually makes good sense.  Thanks!

Today's the last day for ordering the precision framing squares and I just placed mine for the 26" version with case.
