I purchased the tool on desertcart and soon noticed that I paid $379 vs $289 as listed the woodpeck website. I called woodpeck's customer service number and they said that they markup the price because of the "cost of doing business with desertcart". Interestingly enough, the customer service rep suggested that I return the unit through desertcart and then re-order directly through the website. Funny thing is that they'll still be stuck shipping costs on desertcart if I do this (which I will) and have to fulfill another order. Worst case scenario for them if I return this and choose to NOT order a replacement, they'll have to pay 2nd day air shipping one way (when I got it) and shipping back to them (due to desertcart return) and get no sale out of the deal. I offered to even buy more stuff on their store directly and they can credit me the difference, but that was a no-go. Makes no sense from a business bottom line perspective, but i guess CSR are there just to follow rules of the game, not maximize revenue. Review: My Go To tool - Everything related to wood joinery starts with square corners and edges. If you don't begin with these then all your dimensions and joined parts will not come together correctly and you will waste time and effort trying to make corrections. I could not be more pleased with the design features, quality material and rugged construction of the Woodpeckers' Precision Square. I have not found a better square to use with my marking knife during 45 plus years of woodworking and it has quickly earned its place in my workshop as the first tool I reach for when I begin a project. I particularly appreciate the feature of the extended lip around the inner edge of the short leg that allows it to rest on the board edge and the small cut out at the center point so you can run a line with your pencil or knife all the way to that board edge. The square comes in a solid fitted storage "carrier" that hangs prominently on the wall with my tools but I'm using it so much that it seldom goes back there to rest. Expensive but more than worth its cost as I will be using and depending upon this for years to come. ## Features - SPECS - You will receive a 8-inch precision woodworking square. Accurate to within 0.001 inch along the full length of the tool. Made in the USA. - BUILT WITH PRECISION - Our precision woodworking squares start the manufacturing process as a solid piece of very expensive, extremely stable, cast aluminum tool plate. The plate is then carefully machined in multiple, high RPM passes on our state-of-art CNC equipment. The result is a single-piece ruler and handle square. This manufacturing process insures accuracy to within .001 inch or less along the full length of the tool. - STRENGTH & ACCURACY - Once we have a perfect square, we add two pieces of precision-machined aluminum to form the cheeks of the handle. These cheeks are fitted to the handle with two stainless steel dowel pins that ensure bulletproof rigidity and perfect alignment when pressed into their precision-machined holes. This kind of strength and accuracy simply cannot be matched by squares made using separate ruler and handle parts or punched-out on a stamping press. - FEATURES GALORE - The inside edge of the of the square’s handle features a shoulder to allow it to lay flat on the work so you can accurately mark either edge of the rule. The thick base even makes it easy to stand the rule upright to check square on your table saw blade, jointer fence, band saw blade and other machinery setup operations. - MORE FEATURES - With the square standing upright, checking casework parts for square is an effortless, hands-free operation. We even mill a notch at the inside corner of the square so you can β€œzero-out” your layout line all the way to the edge of your work. Easy to read measurement scales are laser etched in 1/16th increments on both sides of the ruler. Comes with Rack-It wall mount. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01466V75K | | Best Sellers Rank | #78,491 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #87 in Carpentry Squares | | Brand Name | Woodpeckers | | Color | Red | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (484) | | Graduation Range | 1/16 Inches | | Included Components | Woodworking Square | | Item Dimensions L x W | 8"L x 5"W | | Manufacturer | Woodpeckers | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Part Number | 851I | | Style Name | Inch - 8 | | UPC | 091037316233 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Woodpeckers - **Color:** Red - **Graduation Range:** 1/16 Inches - **Material:** Aluminum - **Style:** Inch - 8 ## Images ![Precision Woodworking Square, 8 Inch, Aluminum, USA Made, Feature Packed Square, Self Standing, Shoulder Lip, Laser Engraved Scales - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Z2INLpkOL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tool, way cheaper when bought directly on their website *by A***O on October 29, 2021* The 2616 is an awesome square that is a must have for calibrating the MFT, in my opinion. I purchased the tool on Amazon and soon noticed that I paid $379 vs $289 as listed the woodpeck website. I called woodpeck's customer service number and they said that they markup the price because of the "cost of doing business with Amazon".

Expensive but more than worth its cost as I will be using and depending upon this for years to come. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very precise and well made...EXPENSIVE though. *by D***O on October 30, 2019* I am a toolmaker by trade, so the first thing I did was check the accuracy of the square on various machinery that we use everyday, as all of our work has to be accurate within .0005 of an inch, in most cases. This square is accurate and very consistent over all of the dimensions that affect its accuracy and squareness. Considering it is mainly designed for woodworking, it is more than accurate enough. Only negative is the high $ price, however the tools and machinery I use daily in a toolroom to make the tools that make thousands of replicated, accurate parts are very expensive and have to be the best...I would have liked to see the stainless steel pins be slightly inset on both sides of the wide shoulder as opposed to pressed in flush on one side and slightly high on the other. ## Frequently Bought Together - Woodpeckers Precision Woodworking Square, 8 Inch, Aluminum, USA Made, Feature Packed Square, Self Standing, Shoulder Lip, Laser Engraved Scales - Woodpeckers Woodworking Triangle, 4 Inch, Aluminum Precision Carpenter Triangle Square Ruler Tool, Laser Engraved Scales, Lays Flat, Made in USA - Woodpeckers Paolini Pocket Rule, Aluminum, 12 Inch, Woodworking Ruler with Sliding Stop, Vertical End Scale, Scribing Notch, Engraved Scales --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/22094955-precision-woodworking-square-8-inch-aluminum-usa-made-feature-packed](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/22094955-precision-woodworking-square-8-inch-aluminum-usa-made-feature-packed) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
