Well made and very accurate.. I use this square in my woodworking shop. I have several other squares, acquired over the years but sometimes my layouts were inconsistent so I got this square because all my Woodpeckers tools are of the highest quality and accuracy.. I used it to test against my other squares and I found the "culprit" which has been removed from my shop.

I keep the Woodpecker mounted to the wall directly behind my chop-saw. I reach for it almost every time I make a cut so that I can cut to a precise pencil line. I suspect many of us choose this square simply because we love the finest possible tools. Photo included.

Definitely worth the price as you’ll never have to worry about being out of square again. I keep it in my shop but use it to check framing squares and saws that go out in the field. It’s cheaper on their actual website but have to pay shipping so it’s not that much different. Plus I got a coupon for a free scraper if I bought off their site which I never got when I bought from their site before

Love everything made by woodpecker

Can't say this square is the the best of the best but it has to be pretty close to the top of the mountain. Have only used big box store squares in the past and this far exceeds anything I have used. Have been trying my hands at some more advanced woodworking projects and found my old squares just were not cutting it. Re-squared my table saw blade and my cross cut sled with the Woodpeckers square and BAM!!! Everything fits together way better!

And it should be as it is rather pricey to say the least. Checked for square and it was good. Comes with a very nice "case" to keep it in. Really nice tool. Just wish their stuff wasn't so expensive.

Husband loves this square! If you are doing woodwork that you are expecting to be accurate then you must start with an accurate square. The custom fitted case is an added plus. This is a prized possession now hanging right above his shop table.

When I absolutely need to know if it is square, this is what I reach for! This was invaluable when retuning my shop tools after an earthquake turned my shop and contents upside down!

Rock solid and dead accurate. The shipper did a good job tracking it down after my completely negligent ups delivery driver brought it somewhere else too ! Using this I was able to gauge the various degrees of useless squares I own . Boy that was shocking.

I have been familiar with woodpecker for several years, but could never quite swallow the cost. I finally bit the bullet and wish that I done it s long time ago. I used my new 12” square to set up my miter saws. One saw was out by about an 1/8” but is now spot on thanks to my new square Having a dead on accurate square is essential in my woodshop and has given me a new level of confidence that I enjoy and appreciate every day. Now, the next question is which Woodpecker tool to get next. THANK YOU WOODPECKER. I’m sold for sure and will ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND your tools to all of my friends.
