Same, minus the saw stop lol

Love woodpeckers tools, but as a retired disabled Vet, I don’t have a woodpecker budget. I make do with what I got and can afford. Blew my woodworking budget on my new sawstop. Had to buy it. Can’t afford to be any more disabled than I already am LOL!

Semper Fi brother. Similar situation with disability, social security & a tiny IRA. But I've got a 40 year old radial arm saw I keep in top shape. Also have some HF tools & "measuring" instruments but only where the quality of my work is less critical. I generally go a step or two higher for real measurements, although I can't afford Starrett or Mitutoyo. Recently splurged on a set of machinist squares and a set of setup blocks from iGaging, those help a lot with accuracy & precision. 3rd AMTRAC Bn, Vietnam 69-70.

First off thank you for your service. I too am disabled and live on a fixed income. It's difficult but, every once in awhile I have to splurge and treat myself. I only buy the Woodpeckers tools when they're on sale though. That's how I ended up buying on banggood.com.

Same fighting-hole with you brother, I’m just fortunate to have both my retirement and the disability to compensate for the loss of the opportunity of a second career and family provision; all because of wicked RoE’s during the the Obama and Bush administrations. Maybe try a traditional metal and wood with brass registration edged trysquare, I’ve had good success and they can even be tuned up some. The woodpecker mini square is great for checking chisel edge squareness, table saw 90°, plane iron mouth alignment and is very affordable at under $20, stays in apron or sharpening station, etc... well worth it.

Thank you for your service sir. I hear you about the Woodpecker budget. There is one channel here on KZread where the guy has the compete Woodpecker set of tools on display in the background. Must be nice. I would be scared to death to drop one.

Love the depth of your reviews and comparisons. Definitely videos answering the questions we're all asking!

Thank you for this and all the reviews you've been performing. I'm looking at stepping up my accuracy and this has been very helpful in having a better understanding about what to look for.

Nice work on the comparison! It's amazing how a small detail can make such a practical difference.

This is a great series. I've never put much thought into how rules that look similar can be so different. Thanks for taking your time to prepare these videos.

Never thought I'd be so fascinated by a 30 minute video on squares.

Thank you for this comp. I’ve been looking at the Bangood tools and wanted to see some comparisons. Keep them coming.

Really appreciate your down to earth reviews without pushing any of the items. Been a subscriber for awhile but will continue to look forward to videos like these!

Love the tool reviews. Great content, Jodee. But will also love it when you get back to some builds. Keep doing what you do! Let me say it again, love the series on comparing like tools.

I always like seeing tool comparisons! Well done.

Loving these comparison videos. Actually comparing side to side! Thanks for all you do.

Thanks for making your videos I like the comparisons and your simplicity in woodworking. I struggled for a while making a good spline jig and you solved that problem with a simple solution. So thanks.

great seeing them all side by side, always enjoy the videos.. great detail and info.

Love these comparison videos! Nice work!!

The notch that isn’t at a 45, is to allow you to take a scribe, all the way past the edge, and then draw it back onto a piece of metal marked with machinist’s dye, and leave a good clean scribe mark. They are meant to be held with the fingers pressing the blade flat, and the thumb pushing the base onto the reference edge. In Machine work they are not graduated. You lay out the 90, then use dividers set to a rule, to mark the offset from the edge as it intersects the 90-degree line. The tool evolved into a woodworking and general marking tool with the addition of the graduations, and the notch just came along with it.

That's interesting, thank you. I have asked this so many times and never received an answer like yours. I wish there were a video that explained this so I could understand a little bit better and pass it along to others.

Thank you that was very nice of you to let people know, why there was such a difference in that particular marking place.

Great comparison! Who knew how much I'd learn from a 30 minute review on squares? Thanks.

Thank you for doing this review!! I've been looking for a solid square without breaking the bank on woodpeckers

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

Really enjoy your videos. I bought a saw stop after watching your video several times. The instruction you offer is first rate. Thanks

Great video. Love these comparisons

Thank you for the review of the T-200. It helps when the pros give advice when shelling out money for tools. Looking forward to more of your videos.

Thanks for this comparison video. As a beginning woodworker, I would prefer to buy quality once but sometimes the budget doesn't always allow for that. Learning about "budget" options and brands is extremely helpful.

Thanks for the comparison. The reviews on Hooked on Wood make the banggood tools very tempting. Your side by side review was a huge benefit in determining relative values and features of both items

Thanks for the info, very informative. This gives me a lot to think about. I still use framing squares for the most part, and have been looking to upgrade. I wasn't even thinking about half the stuff you mentioned.

This is a random comment. I just stumbled across this channel a couple days ago and I have been enjoying all of the videos. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for being so thorough in the comparisons.

I've had sticker shock looking at Woodpecker, as well. Thanks for the comparison.

Glad to see you giving a comparison review. I had seen people mention the DrillPro ones and was curious if they live up to standards.

Thank you for these videos they are really helpful when considering options.

Thanks for another excellent and useful comparison. I love Woodpeckers' tools and have many but there is no denying that they are expensive. Also, I have never had a Woodpeckers tool fail to deliver as designed. I also have several Bangood tools and find them generally quite acceptable but without the exquisite WP finish.

Thanks for such a detailed comparison. One day I hope to own some Woodpeckers tools but even the lower cost option is far better than what I have been using. The lip that keeps it flat on the work piece is so simple yet would be unbelievably helpful! Looking forward to the next comparison!

Love the your videos, I found them very helpful! Thank you for your hard work

Brilliant review. Very informative and well stated. Keep these awesome videos coming.

I like the comparisons and would love to see you continue to do them. I'm a beginner, but I decided to buy better tools now so I don't have to re-buy later. I have a handful of different Woodpeckers tools now, acquired over the course of the last two years, and am very impressed with build quality and functionality. Your comparisons seem to act as reassurance that I've made solid choices thus far. 😁 Cheers 🍻

Good to see your back, good information

I just starting to build my tool inventory as I am new to woodworking. After reviewing one of your other videos about big box store tools and their accuracy I checked my combination square. It was not accurate. Therefore I have decided to use your channel and the comments associated with it as my go to review site prior to tool purchases. Thanks Jodie keep up the good work.

Thanks for the great content. I think it’s great to have open dialogues like this.

Aside from maybe hand planes, measuring and layout tools are in my opinion are something you shouldn't skimp on. When I upgraded to quality measuring tools, the level of precision I can achieve increased tremendously. It also makes your woodworking so much more enjoyable, when you aren't fighting tool, guessing at measurements, and in the worse case scenario, making an inaccurate cut. Buy once - cry once I say! I always appreciate your content - great work!

These reviews are super helpful. Thank You!

Very nice comparison, I was hezitating as here in France Woodpeckers are not very popular on woodworking stores online, but your demonstration is so clear. I just put an order for the 851 square model. I'm going to look your other videos as I just discovered you. Thanks.

Another great video. This is exactly what we needed to see.

Great, informative review. Thanks for all you do.

Really enjoying your tool comparisons and am becoming aware of the benefits of purchasing good measuring tools regardless of higher cost.

I have the Woodpeckers 642 square and love it. It is 6 1/4 inches and in stainless. It has a thin blade which almost eliminates paralax and notches in the body of the blade not on the edge for a mech. pencil tip every 1/16 ". I like steel since I do a lot of marking with a knife and find it more durable than aluminum. Nice head to head, keep them coming.

Great information again ! Thanks for the giveaways! Good luck with the channel

Thoroughly enjoy/appreciate your reviews.

Great video man. I’ve been waiting for comparisons videos on woodpeckers stuff, so this is much appreciated. Definitely could use a more accurate square (rocking an old empire one as well).

I really really appreciate these comparisons, getting to a point where I'm sick of my cheaper marking and measuring tools and am just saving for good ones, but would enjoy anything better than what I have now since they are not square.

Excellent explanation. Very much appreciate all your efforts, thank you.

Glad you filmed it 4 times, I missed the first 3, awesome vid very well presented, half way through the vid I knew which one i`m saving for, love the 8ths of a millimetre at 22.07

Great review. I really enjoy your channel. Thanks

Great video! Very informative and straight to the point.

I appreciate the actual comparison of the tools. Like you said many people say one is just as good as the other but they have never used the other one.

thanks for the direct comparisons; I'm trying to do an upgrade of my tools after way more years than I should have waited, and while I definitely appreciate tools like Woodpecker's, etc., I certainly don't have the budget to upgrade everything with tools at that premium price-point.

I am loving these product reviews. Thank you.

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

Really interesting comparison. Thank you for the video.

Love these! Keep 'em coming!!! Thanks!!!

I very much appreciate side by side comparison videos.

Have been wanting to order a few things from Banggood to try them out, appreciate these videos. Thanks.

Good stuff man, appreciate your attention to detail

Very nice comparison video. Really been on the fence about bang good but might have to give a few of their products a try.

Thank you for comparing these two. Very helpful.

Looking forward to your next review on these tools

Thank you for all your videos, you have a gift for teaching.

Great video I have been looking for tools in metric. I have never been able to add fractions. At 49 I learned how easy the metric system is to use.

I like these comparison videos. Thanks.

Thank you for the honest and impartial comparison!

Love the review, keep them coming

Liking the videos comparing tools, keep them coming.

Great review. Look forward to checking them out for myself.

Thanks for the reviews. I'm currently waiting on my stainless try square from woodpeckers.

The bit about parallax was super informative

I am a beginner wood worker and love these videos keep them coming

Thanks for the review and comparison, lot's of good information.

Jodee, another great comparison. Clearly, unless you get the BangGood for free, it's Woodpeckers all the way. I'm still using my grandfather's engineering square and it has served me well for years. However, watching this series might make me break out my First Communion money and buy a new one. Thanks for what you do. Best, John

I’m from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 and I love all your videos.. thank you very much.

Thanks for the info, money is tight and im a new woodworker so videos like this help tremendously. So thank you

I love these videos! I'm an information junkie, but also as an engineer I want specific details -- such a how well the tool slides. I'm so new to this woodworking thing, and have purchased too many tools that look and sound good, but turn out to be trash. I might eventually be able to justify a single Woodpeckers tool, but until then I now know what to look for when I get something new. It's a good thing The Big Online Store is so good about returns because these days so much of what they "feature" is crap, their descriptions pretty worthless, and the ratings untrustworthy. We have a Woodcraft store here and they are pretty good but going out to the store is, well, these days, going out, and I try to limit that. Great work! Oh, and I don't mind the length; I watch most everything at 1.5 speed anyway and that cuts running times down.

Tip with respect to squares materials make a huge difference. Wood working requires at least one good traditional plain accurate tri square with a hardened and tempered steel blade. Look at say an old Stanley 14" tri-square are pretty nice for allot of overall carpentry reasons. The classics become classics for reasons that most users never know or notice. I am a retired carpenter. Worked professionally and successfully as door drawer and panel maker. Full furniture restoration refinisher and manufacture in artisanal small shop. Then single-family home building all aspects of skilled labor carpentry based.

I will love to have one myself I'm a newbie in the world of wood working...and we your video I'm learning a lot about good products and not good products...thanks for your time and effort....

Thank you for the review. It helps us starting out.

Enjoyed the video thanks for sharing

Good video. Thanks for sharing your review.

Very thorough videos, I like watching them when they come out. I could use a newer better square. Thanks for the chance.

Thanks a lot for the review. I'd love one of those.

Hi. Thank you for the great video. Between this type of square vs. pocket rules, which one would you buy first? Or I think I should ask if I need both. Thank you!

Really like the comparison videos

Have some clamping squares from drillpro that are dead square and came flawless in fit and finish. Love your videos!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and insights, very helpful before making a purchase.

I like your videos on using precise tools. I am already imprecise so this is helping to correct me. Thanks.

Love these comparisons.

Great comparison of the two squares. Definitely going to have to look into drillpro tools until I can up enough to try woodpeckers.

Appreciate your tool reviews and comparisons, and the attention to detail. Would also like to see speed squares reviewed and compared. Have you ever used squares from iGaging or PEC?

Thanks again for the awesome videos. Would love to have a square like those.

I really like this series. Thanks!

I am 62 and have been using my dad's engineering square for decades. I have an emotional bond with it. Unfortunately, we are both aging. My eyes are getting worse and the scale on the square is so worn that it darn near invisible...or is it? Thanks for all your videos. I learn something new every time.

Your doing a great job my man. Keep putting them out. That empire screwed me just the other day thinking that was a 45.

Thanks for an interesting and informative video. Your trick of flipping the Drillpro square to make a line from the inside edge of the square works only if both edges of the wood are parallel. Of course, you know that and in your rush to get the video out omitted mentioning that requirement.

Great review. Was very curious
