Woodpeckers Paolini Pocket Rule Combo Set

Woodpeckers, a brand established in 1988, has always focused on woodworking tools. Starting with just a few routers, the company has grown into a full-fledged manufacturer of router lifts, router fences, measuring and layout tools, as well as a variety of useful clamping accessories. Woodpeckers takes pride in the fact that all its tools are truly made in the U.S.A., as the company handles its own machining, engraving, assembly, and packing.

In the hills of western North Carolina, professional woodworker Greg Paolini designs and builds one-of-a-kind commissioned furniture and exquisite custom kitchens. In his spare time, he creates tools to make woodworking faster, easier, and more enjoyable. Several years ago, Paolini contacted Woodpeckers with what he considered the ideal woodworker's pocket rule, and the Paolini Pocket Rules have been a favorite OneTIME Tool ever since.

The Paolini Pocket Rules feature a simple add-on fixture and thoughtful calibration layout, making them the perfect fit for your apron pocket. The most unique feature is the sliding stop that can be locked in place to enable repetitive measurements on multiple boards. There's also a fine notch in the end of the rule, allowing you to use it as an instant marking gauge by placing a pencil in the notch.

When vertical measurement is needed, the stop can be removed from the end and inserted into the cut-out on the blade, creating a perfect stand to keep the rule upright while you use both hands to dial in the height of a router bit, saw blade, or dado stack, matching it to the easy-to-read scale engraved on the end of the rule.

The Paolini Pocket Rules are available in two material choices (anodized aluminum or stainless steel) and three calibration options (inch-only, metric-only, or a combination of inch and metric). The inch model features 1/16" and 1/32" scales on both sides, aligned so you can easily switch between the finer and coarser graduations. The metric version offers 1mm scales on both sides. If your work requires the use of both inch and metric, a combo calibration with 1/16" and 1mm scales on one side and 1/32" and 1mm on the other is available.

Paolini Pocket Rules come in three different lengths: 6", 8", or 12" (for metric models, the lengths are 150mm, 200mm, and 300mm, respectively). You can choose any Paolini Pocket Rule individually or as a set of three (same material, same calibration option), with or without the Rack-It accessory.

Like all Woodpeckers products, the Paolini Pocket Rules are precisely machined and carefully inspected at the company's factory in Strongsville, Ohio, just south of Cleveland. The clean, precise look of the state-of-the-art laser engraving is sure to impress generations of woodworkers to come.
