The Woodpeckers Pocket T-Squares simplify joinery layout and deliver exceptional accuracy. Whether you’re laying out mortises, tenons, and rabbets or marking the location of hinges and other cabinet hardware, these innovative Pocket T-Squares ensure the precision you need. Laying out lines at exact locations is as simple as putting your pencil in the right hole and sliding along the work piece edge. Adding to their effectiveness, these handy tools are compact enough to have one at hand whenever you’re in your shop.
Our Pocket T-Squares are milled from a single, solid billet of aluminum– for uncompromising rigidity. A broad, precisely machined lip registers solidly along your reference edge. Both graduated edges are beveled to minimize parallax viewing error and get the graduations right down to your stock – where they belong. Best of all, the blades are precision drilled with a staggered series of holes 1/32nd of an inch apart. Each hole is 1mm in diameter-- just right to fit the tip of a .7mm or .9mm mechanical pencil. Just drop the point of your mechanical pencil into the proper hole and glide along, guided by the edge of your stock. If you prefer metric measurements, we make the same tool with the holes drilled at precise 1mm spacing. With either calibration, the staggered layout of the guide holes maintains the integrity of the square’s body and makes it easy to select the proper measurement.
The Pocket T-Squares come in lengths of 3”, 6” and 8“ with 1/32” graduations and guide holes -- plus 75mm, 150mm, 200mm metric versions with 1mm graduations and guide holes. The 3-inch and 75mm models are perfect for joinery layout and fit conveniently in your shirt or jeans pocket. For hardware placement and general layout work, the longer models give you more reach and still are easy to carry around.
These former OneTIME Tools are now part of our Permanent Product Lineup! Each Pocket T-Square is precisely machined and carefully inspected in Strongsville, Ohio manufacturing facility.
