Hey all. We have officially closed the giveaway on this one. Thanks so much to all that watched and left a comment!

Switching between “whatever ruler is the closest” has gotten me in a pickle more than once. Practicing consistency and patience will eventually be more valuable than any tool I can buy!

KZread only allows "like", but you're basically adopted. Good boy. Now, go do your chores. (Bro-sh!t aside, seriously: insight)

Always glad to see another Jody video pop up. Thanks for the review and thanks for all the time you spend teaching us and letting us look over your shoulder as you work

I feel like there's a lot of value to be had in videos like these. Both for the viewers and the content creator. Hopefully they're popular. Good job! 👍👍

SO I watched this video the day after I ordered the off brand. They came in the. Day after I saw it and i could tell that I wanted the accuracy of woodpeckers. Just received my woodpeckers set and so happy I upgraded. Thanks for the video

I love these comparison videos always find something else to look into for when I can afford to upgrade my tools.

I have always liked all of your videos but these head to head comparisons are my favorite. I appreciate how informative you are. Thanks

Its been an Inspire Woodcraft kind of evening for me. I just spent a couple of hours in my shop jointing some 2x material using your table saw technique. Came back inside and saw a notification for this video and spent 22 minutes watching a review I didn't know I needed. I find your videos quite helpful. Glad I found your channel.

Seems like both of these would be more accurate than the user (me).

One of the more in-depth and Informative reviews I;ve seen. But honestly, the Clean Style would be a welcome addition to my apron - it's accuracy would help my failing eyes (nearing 70 but still making sawdust) The last 64th I saw was almost 6 years ago on my birthday! Your videos are always thorough and insightful, thank you for the effort!

Your style of teaching is precise and to the point and this old man gets it. Always look forward to your videos. Thanks for the work you put in to share your knowledge.

Love your videos. I watch as much to learn as for enjoyment. Your explanation and teaching style are what I like best! Keep up the good work!

This is a measuring tool that I've always wanted. One day I'll get my hands on one or two and or three.

LOL, “Just having that little extra inch down there can make quite a big difference”... in my best Michael Scott voice... “That’s what she said”

What's the difference between "Ooo" and "Ahh"? About three inches.

Great demo- I enjoy the information that you provide the community and the way you deliver it, top notch! I have been wanting to pull the trigger on the Woodpecker Paolini set and saw the Clear Style and was considering those as well. Thanks for the intricate reviews on both!

Always dig your tool videos, whether tool reviews or just tool talk. Well done.

Can’t afford either. Lol. I use a cheap combi square for just about everything

How much was the clear style? WP was $150, but the CS is no longer available from Amazon.

I'm in the same boat there bubba, so dont fret about it!! Use what you got, and make what ya got count!!! If we were all rich or sponsored or would be different. Then we could afford, or get what ever we wanted/needed. Not knocking dude in the video by any means at all here, just stating the facts is all.

I've always wondered what made the Woodpeckers brand so premium, and this video did a great job explaining that. While I think the Woodpecker brand is probably objectively better for all the reasons you described, I've never needed accuracy to that degree, so the Clear Style would probably be fine for my shop (except the red looks better. :D)

I'm a newbie to woodworking (about a year). I've learned a lot from you and others on KZread. I started with mostly budget tools, but I'm upgrading as income permits. Thanks for all the help. It really makes a positive impact on people like me.

Can’t wait for the rest of the series. Excellent video as always

I have always felt that while Woodpecker tools look great and are extremely well made, I have trouble justifying the price.

I don't think they are expensive at all. Just like festool... You get what you pay for. If you are a carpenter making at least 100+ hr as a good one should, you can make it pay for itself in a couple of hours. This video is like comparing a prius to a rolls royce... LOL

The problem with knockoffs is that it is a stolen idea used to profit China. People say so what if I buy from China. Well that is a huge issue. There are so many thing that are not made in the USA and because there is such a limited amount of USA made prices are high just to be able to afford the cost of living. Prices are to high because so many people in the United States rather give China control over our economy.

Spending 500% more for 5% improvement (current chienese set available for $18 vs woodpeckers $115)

Maybe the mm end of the black one is for using the zero to centerfind on a board’s edge by eyeballing the edges to the same opposing numbers? 🤷🏻‍♂️

im addicted to buying woodcrafting tools .. love your videos

I appreciate your videos. I always get some tips and tricks from them and always learn something in each of your videos. Keep up the great work.

“Having that extra inch down there really comes in handy” 😂😂😂😂 Great info like always! Been looking at the woodpeckers one for a while. Finally have my first real shop and building it out has been a blast...but expensive lol

It's not the length of the tool it's how you use it :)

I am sure Woodpeckers' tools are great tools, but just haven't gotten to the point where it makes sense to pay the price for them..

Thanks! Tool reviews, and especially comparisons, are truly helpful. Thanks for sharing.

Didn’t realize that I needed one of these until watching this video. Have always gotten by with a double square but now see the definite advantages of these.

"really, how would they know?" You just elevated yourself above every PEng who ever failed to question their own supremacy. SECOND round is now on me. Crap.

When I am looking for unbiased new tools, I search for you, James at Stumpy Nubs and Project Farm. Between the three of you, I am going broke!

Thank you for the review! It's helpful to see various uses! I'm just getting started and all information is greatly appreciated!

Basically exactly the video I’ve been waiting for! Thank you!

I've never used a pocket rule. My typical go to is a combination square.

Bingo!

I'm in a position in my life where I could fill my shop with Woodpecker tools. I got here, partly by not buying them in the first place.

Great comparison. Your explanation of the V vs U groove is brillant. I wouldn't have thought it would make such a difference. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Thanks for the video. As a beginning woodworker I find your videos very informative and easy to follow. This set would be a great addition to my slowly growing toolbox.

General diyer woodpecker look great But to expensive for me.

On my budget, WP is currently out of reach.

Excellent comparison! And thank you for pointing the differences in accuracy of the notches between both rules.

Thanks for taking the time an all the details in the differences between the two rulers.

Having an extra inch will make a difference. My inner 12 year old yelled out “that’s what she said.” Hope I got someone to laugh.

Awesome video. Will keep working my way through the rest of your videos. Keep it up!

Thanks for the info. I enjoy your comparisons. Looking forward to future videos

Such a great and unbiased review...but also helpful to learn all the features of the pocket rulers! Gotta get one!

Thank you for the excellent illustration of the tool and the differences between the two. I do love woodpecker tools myself and have a few myself. I didn’t originally find a need for this one in particular but now think it would be great for setting up my router. Thanks again for the attention to the details, really helpful.

Thanks for doing these comparison videos, they are really helpful to understand the nuances of the features and how the differences might affect me in my shop.

Love your layout tool comparisons. Very thorough my man.

You are excellent in your presentation!! You obviously use your equipment and understand it and are able to relay your knowledge in a clear and understanding way. Thank you!

That is "key" to having a good KZread channel I think. I've been on some channels and thought, "What is this person trying to get to here!!!!???"....and they just totally loose my interest.

I'm new to the craft and love your explanations of the tools, and the value of the different features. Looking forward to seeing more.

Thank you for the unbiased review of the two item. With all the tools that are out there and the limited budget an honest review is appreciated.

Thanks for the video. It's nice to see someone who tries to look out for the viewers

Thanks for good detailed analysis, Keep up the great work

Thank you, your detailed description of both pieces made it easy for me to make a decision on which I will purchase.

Thanks for your time and help

Nice solid review. Always appreciate your videos and love your channel. Keep up the goodness 😊

I'm just getting started and I'm excited for the series

Thank you for sharing your experience! Would love either of these.

Great in-depth review ! Don't have either yet, but have been thinking about the woodpecker one based on your review and "bang for the buck" advice. Glad to see you back! Thanks for all you do!

Thanks for the comparison and info. Learning more on tools

Building up my tool collection to start my own side business would love a set of these. Love the vids keep up the good work.

Thanks for your in depth review of the woodpecker Paolini Rule. I have had mine for some time but really never took the time to actually learn to use it. I always reverted back to my tape or my starrett square. Now, I finally understand thanks to your video.

Thanks for the detailed description.

I enjoyed your comparison/review. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and thoughts.

Thanks for the detailed comparison!

Thanks for the thorough review, it's always good to see how various options compare. Not sure if I'd really need a pocket ruler but I can see how it can be handy in certain situations.

Thanks for the video! I’m looking forward to your next video.

Nice video breaking down the differences, much appreciated before making purchases

Great explanation on the V groove vs the circular groove.

Really appreciate the comparison between the two tools. Great job.

Thanks for the video. I had thought about buying the Clear Style set, but had some questions that you answered.

Loving these videos. As a beginner, there's lots of great information.

Very informative. I could definitely see a set being useful in my shop.

I really liked your information, very detailed. Very well thought out.

Great job explaining the differences. Very clear how much thought Woodpeckers puts into the design of their tools.

Good content - appreciate the comparison of premium and budget tools

Great detailed review! Thanks for the information, have been looking to get a set.

Great Video, always nice to see the difference before I spend my money. Thanks for posting

In depth comparison, thanks for your videos.

Great Video... I'm learning about tools I didn't even know existed. I've watched several of your videos and appreciate the objectivity; actually watched the video about the Woodpecker rules yesterday. I've been doing projects off and on for years, but very intermittently and I'm trying to be more serious in what I do. I worry with the vast array of tools that many are cool but not really necessary. Your perspective is extremely useful so I'll be watching a lot more. Cheers!

Great walkthrough as always 👍I was talking with my brother about a blade deflection issue I was having and the use of my Woodpeckers mini square. He again related to me that his favorite is the Paolini pocket square and how he uses it daily. Looks like I need to get on the bus. Thanks for the great info.

A set would be great! Just found your channel and enjoying it - keep up the great work!

A very informative comparison. After a career in measurement science, I also appreciate your discussion of the differences between having a semicircle versus a vee in the end of the rule, and the resulting difference in positional accuracy. I can see the advantages of those types of rules for various types of measuring and marking. They would definitely be a step up from the low-cost and budget tools I have now. Hoping that stimulus money comes soon.

Great comparison! Thanks for giving us less expensive options for beginners.

Very good comparison. Thank you!

Great video. Very instructive. Thanks.

Nice explanation of the used of the tools and comparison of features. Great explanation of the difference of the Vee and round pencil lead notch too - every little bit of inaccuracy adds up to a larger problem. Good info!

Thanks for doing these videos. I don't mind the length at all. Great information!

Great tools and great techniques. I especially like the precision of the V vs semicircle. I've heard that you can't work wood to 32nd inch tolerance. But I find going for it makes a difference. I'd like to use the Clear instead of the tri-square I use now. Thanks for the thoughtful Woodworking Tips.

Great comparison, thanks. I have the Paolini rule and I like it.

Real good explanation on those differences that do make a difference

Thank you for reviewing and comparing these against each other.

Great explanation of differences. Learnt a lot. Justified the higher cost with better accuracy and usefulness. Thank you and keep teaching and explaining stuff. You get what you pay for and thankfully there are people and companies that believe in making quality over quantity.

Nicely produced video, very informative

Great video. Thanks for the comparison!

Excellent review! Thank you!

Great review. Thanks for the comparison!

Thank you again for your detail and approach and making woodworking accessible. I can now see see value of the woodpecker details vs a knockoff and in this case very useful!
