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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

I, like most folks, don't like to spend more than I have to on a tool, but have a hard time supporting Chinese tools that clearly copy the design of the Woodpeckers tools and then sell them for less. They do everything to make it look like a Woodpeckers tool. Using their design and then knocking off to create a cheaper option. For me, I will save my money and support the American company.

I bought one of these from AliExpress. Mine also had a defect on the back of it in roughly the same place. Except mine had a large lump from the casting. Which probably explains why yours had a grind mark. I raised a complaint. They decided that it only effected 50% of it’s usage. So they refunded my 50% of the purchase price. So I cannot use it to measure inside angles. Mine also is not square. My advice would be to not buy the T200 square.

Simple like you said, if it gets the job done, it's great. If it is inconsistent, it's gotta be replaced/upgraded.

My only problem with banggood is packaging. I recently got 10 items, they get shipped separately 1 or 2 items per shipment and that is fine. Some tools have their own hdpe box which is fine, some come in cardboard box ( precission 90 and 45 certified machining squares etc) which is also fine, however, some other stuff only came in its original moulded plastic packaging wraped only in banggood bag. Those items were stainless steel rulers, those bendy ones with pencil holes in them - t ruler/square 400m was fine and I love it, use it for architectural drawing and its much nicer than any t square I have used so far. The other one was 90° 180mm line ruler, pencil holes etc, that thing was apsolutely destroyed, plastic packaging has white lines where it was bent, 90° ruler completely destroyed and corner bent in and I cant set it back into shape, I can only imagine the torture it received in delivery vans trucks etc. Now the only thing protecting that packaging was banggood bag, and that isnt normal to me considering the means if transport. I would gladly pay that bit extra for cardboard box, there is nothing worse than sending stuff back.

Good video. I have been in my shop comparing my acquired squares that I have gotten since I began woodworking last year. While some were legitimately out of square junk. There were some instances where it seemed how I held the pencil, and the lead point affected the outcome. Some tests showed square and not square with the same tool. Either way, I have a Woodpeckers 18” Square coming in, so it will all be moot soon. I might however not so easily dismiss Bangood in the future now as I consider jumping to Metric on builds.

I have several Woodpeckers squares. I have a propensity of dropping them on my concrete garage floor. Sometimes that knocks them out of square. In all but one case, I sent them back to Woodpeckers who re-squared them at no cost. The one exception was, after dropping my large 26" x 18" square a few time, it was so out of square that Woodpeckers couldn't return it to square. Instead, they let me buy a new one at a 60% discount. The really do stand behind their tools. Oh by the way, you didn't mention what tolerance the T-200 promises. Woodpeckers guarantees their squares to be square within 0.0085 degrees over the length of the square.

The 30 percent exchange rate is a killer to begin with and then getting hit with customs costs and duty makes anything coming here from Woodpecker about 40 to 50 percent more than the price shown. So I have to really justify some of the precision tools I get from them. Sad but true. Great video too, just as a minor suck up for good content.
