I am beginning to think it is called "Woodpeckers" for a reason. Maybe it is the bubble level that added an extra 100+ dollars to the price.

Loved that Magic Square video.

One of the disclaimers: "Unplug Magic Square before adjusting".

That one is already off to one of my cabinet making buddies.

I do have a bunch of Woodpeckers stuff but I often think they're
trying to see just how far they can push it. My favorite was the
doweling jig that cost half as much as a Domino.

I think that Woodpeckers has some good stuff but they probably can't
keep the doors open if they decide to just make story sticks and
expensive speed squares.

Is there another tool you find useful that Woodpeckers makes?

Their sadle squares and corner radius jigs are very nice. I really
like their stainless pocket rules, too. Expensive, but I wouldn't
trade 'em.

Yeah, I forgot to mention the radius jigs but Rockler now offers their
own versions for about 1/4 the price. I got my saddle square from Lee
Valley, Veritas.

Their one time tools really take the cake. There is probably a good
reason that they only make them one time. ;~)

Some are quite nice. Some are expensive but still nice. Many others
are just silly.

Your like the doweling jig, I like the dowel maker for probably 1,000
times more expensive than what you can buy a dowel for.

The parallel guide system looked to be pretty good for a track saw and a
better price than the Festool version.

The parallel guide is nice, though it clashes with Festool green.

LOL
;-)
I also have one of their carpenter squares to square up the track. The
Festool track angle thingy simply sucks.
