Woodpeckers T Square, 32 Inch, Precision Woodworking T-Square Ruler, Built-in Edge Support, Scribing & Shelf Pin Guides, Rack-It Mount, Made in USA

Since Woodpeckers won't be upfront about this item's dirty little secret, I'm going to spill it in this review. Woodpeckers doesn't guarantee this T-"square" to be accurate to within 0.0085 degrees of a perfect 90 like their other items with "square" in their name. If you look for the 1-star review you can read the full disclosure from the Woodpecker rep that left a comment. The gist of it is that the T-square is accurate to within 0.017 degrees of a perfect 90, which is twice the error, at maximum, of what their other squares would be. If you go to the Woodpecker site you'll notice the "unmatched accuracy" sticker is conspicuously missing from the T-Square page. This being said, if you do the calculation, the 32 inch T-square will have about 9/1000" maximum deviation from a perfect 90 over the course of its length, still much less than 1/64. Some people may feel that kind of error, even if its an upper bound, isn't acceptable over a 32in length, which is why I've disclosed it. Others may feel that being less than a 64th off over almost 3 feet is more than acceptable, up to you. The point is that if you're looking to get as close to square as possible, the T-square isn't what you're looking for. All that being said, this is a magnificent, robust, accurate tool. Effortlessly, you can measure exactly how far you want to be from an edge. No guessing, no eyeballing. The holes are generously placed at 1/16 intervals and the larger holes at every inch are a nice touch. Drawing parallel lines becomes a cinch. It is large, but not cumbersome to use. It mates with edges in a very satisfying way and doesn't wobble/play whatsoever. You'll understand what I mean the first time you use it. The case it comes with is surprisingly nice and a decent quality in my opinion. The T-square itself also kind of looks like the blade of a sword, neat. I first ordered the 24 inch but the anodizing seemed kind of off, there were scratches along the length of the blade and a couple of spots where it looked like it had even chipped a little. Not acceptable on an item of this supposed caliber. I returned it and decided to get a 32 in version. The 32 in I received seemed to have a much better fit and finish than the 24 and I'm happy with it.

Love it. Build cabinets and Is very accurate.

Great square, makes it easy to line out sheets of plywood or sheetrock. Simple and easy to use, and the guides help when marking lines. Good thickness of the material, and colors allowi you to read the numbers well.

AMAZING! Totally Insane. I can't quite find the right words. It's a work of art. It's rare this day in age to hold something of this caliber of build quality in your hands. Folks just don't make things of this caliber anymore. Best $150 I have spent on anything in a long time. It's hefty and build like a tank yet it still feels good in your hand. It's very stable when applied to whatever surface you're working on. No wobbling etc. The milled out holes is brilliant for super fast and accurate work. The display case is brilliant and very nice. A must for anyone needing a serious t-square. I'm using it for my paintings. You won't regret it!

Extremely expensive but extremely accurate! I wish I could afford more woodpecker tools.

Woodpeckers tools are known for their excellent quality. This t-square definitely lives up to the reputation. The rule is perfectly straight and set dead square to the base. The base, which keeps the square supported on the stock via small lips, glides effortlessly against the edge of the stock while remaining perfectly snug and square to the workpiece. The beveled edges on the rule help to achieve accurate measuring and marking. The holes on the inside of the rule make it easy to draw precise lines down the stock while sliding the square along the edge of the piece. You do need to make sure you use thick lead, as the holes are large enough that there is room for your pencil to slide around just a bit while moving the square. This square is best used on sheet goods due to its size.

I am a relatively new wood worker and am slowly building my garage workshop. I mainly do cabinets for my wife and use a clamping straight edge and the awesome Festool track saw. Foolishly I used a $20 square from Home Despot and the results were terrible. Due to the size of the panels, errors propagated and everything was wonkie. I saw many podcast carpenters using this square and bought it. What a difference. I use this to mark for the track saw and clamping straight edge. It has increased my output because I spend less time finessing and more time getting it right first time. A good, true square isn't an option for carpentry, it is a must. I wish I had bought this first of all! One final thing, there are two mounting holes in the holder, making it a cinch to put up and keep your square close at hand.

Good workmanship

Das Woodpeckers-Zeug ist ja alles nicht ganz günstig und mittlerweile gibst aus China auch ein paar ganz ordentliche "Nachbauten", aber das Original ist einfach der Hammer. Ich freu mich jedes Mal, wenn ich diese Präzisionswerkzeug in die Hand nehme. Hab auch den 30er Winkle, der ist noch öfter im Einsatz (leider schon mal runterfallen und hat mir eine Ecke des Alus etwas lediert). 5 Sterne (wenn ich könnte würde ich am liebsten das ganze Sortiment an die Wand hängen :-)

great
