Are Woodpecker Tools Worth It
Their squares are excellent too.
Are woodpecker tools worth it. Gave this as a gift for a woodworking artisan. Rich Hummel the president and founder of Woodpeckers. Woodpecker tools focused on demonstrating the tools they make at woodworking shows up until 2004.
The construction may not be quite the same quality but theyll work just as well. Your right they are expensive but its like anything else you always get for what you paid for. He would know more than me.
He said his work is going so much faster and easier. Take for exemple the Incra system either for your table saw or rotor table its expensive but. Easy to use better functionality like conditional clauses than many of the far more expensive options.
I have their 641 851 and 1281. A direct result of being carefully milled in multiple high RPM passes on state-of-art CNC equipment. With all that said I have a few Tools from Woodpecker and I enjoy them very much.
Their tools are well made and do what they say they do. They are both great tools. Occasionally I have had recipients of documents created in Word with WoodPecker fields tell me that they were unable to edit the form filled terms.
I have a couple of Starret dividers for laying out dovetails. Their non-marking tools like this dowelling jig may be worth it to some people but I cant help feeling like most of their tools are overpriced as much as their square is. If speaking specifically of one time tools its a no.
