I am glad these videos do not read like a woodpeckers ad, your efforts to stay impartial have not gone unnoticed.
Great series, keep it up.
Check his other videos, he is a shill for woodpecker
@@ciphercipher8196 He has already said that he loves his woodpecker tools, but, that doesn't mean he isn't impartial. His video shows all the negatives and positives of all the tools he's comparing. At the end of it, it's up to the viewer to make their decision.
Hi. I just watched this and greatly appreciate it. You had my attention throughout the demonstration. I personally do not think an apology for the time you spent is warranted. People watch Star Wars with no gripe and probably wish the episodes were longer. If you had any more to put on this I would have been just as interested.
Don't apologize for the longer videos. Lots of good points, and training. Please don't stop. I am trying to figure where I need (or don't need) a different tool and these are helpful.
I really, really not only like but appreciate all the in-depth description and applications you explain for each product you review. I truly believe you are unbiased and you are 100% honest in your reviews in my opinion. I look forward to "MANY MORE" of these videos...I hope!
I really like the detail you go into with these videos. And I enjoy the long format. It's actually something I look for when I need to hear reviews of something I'm considering. The longer the videos, the more info I'm expecting to get. Thank you!
I’m new to wood working at 40yrs old and truly appreciate videos like this. It really helps.
like to echo this message. picking up wood working as a hobby during covid.
It would be great to have a directory of all new woodworkers as I am one also good luck for your future builds! I am in Scotland and tools I buy so far from Lidl and Aldi B&Q ( www.diy.com )
I really appreciate these comparisons. They are far more in-depth than most "reviews" of different products and provide strengths and weaknesses that are really helpful when determining what tools to buy. Keep them coming!
Just wanted to say I have really enjoyed the last few videos with their detailed explanation of these tools and their differences. Not only does it get me to think about which one would be best suited to my needs it also helps me, as a newer woodworker, really understand how to get full use out of these tools and understand their purposes. They're very helpful and the video length doesn't bother me at all. Thank you for your time and effort making them!
Interestingly, I have watched two of your previous comparison videos and my takeaway was buying the mechanical pencils you use in the videos..
I saw those pencils on stumpy nubs ... bought one Immediately and love them
@@mattydelicious1977 ha, I did the same. Great pencils!
I've had one for awhile. the 0.9mm is my favorite
@@mattydelicious1977 Ya, saw the same video. Got the 0.9 and 0.5 right after.
Where's the link to buy?
I have the larger Milwaukee speed square, and I love it. The lip for hooking onto the side of the board is larger than my recently replaced empire speed square. It's great for being able to lock into the rounded corners of a 2x4, and a csharp carpenters pencil fits into the graduated notches well. Not all full size speed squares have those and they are really awesome to have. I don't find the thickness of the blade to be an issue, I just make sure I'm above my work properly. I also use the edge of my pencil lead to lock into the groove of the marking and rotate it down onto the workpiece. It's not inconvenient at all really. I'm very happy with it. I even use it in my shop, almost done with my son's new dresser.
I always enjoy knowing all the little extra things built into a tool, they are not always obvious and this kind of video really helps. Also really enjoy how you break things down to make it understandable to anyone.
Keep up the great videos
Thank you for doing these. It really does help, especially for those on a budget, to know what you might be getting into going cheap, or what you might be getting extra going expensive. Thanks!
Thank you sure appreciated the info I should’ve known being a Woodpecker Delve owner. Keep up the very informative videos and not apologize for their length. 👍
The videos are NOT to long! I’ve learned a lot by watching them and they hold my attention. Thanks!
It is crazy people expect a 5 minute video on how to do something. I took a class and our teacher had to keep showing us how to use these things for several days cause you really don't get it from a 5 minute quickly put together video.
I am new to woodworking and luckily found your channel. I find them very informative and it's nice to see reviews that don't feel like ads for one company or another.
Love this series you have been doing lately. Your experience adds so much insight into items I would not even consider looking at when trying to buy something.
I'd love the comparisons to always include a version that one can go get in any big box store.
I've actually been looking at getting the woodpecker. I didnt know the others existed. Thanks for a great video and the chance to win.
I find these comparison videos so educational, not only from a “which is the better tool for me” standpoint, but also how to use all the functions they have to offer. Thank you!
Thank you for shedding light on all the details of these squares. I learned a lot from your video and hope to get a woodpeckers someday to up my accuracy game!
Love these comparison videos! Most can’t justify those high priced “red” tools! :) It’s nice to see the differences in other brands that are ‘the same’.
Man, you're going to be really confused on where to cut that board. Great overview of these tools. Thanks.
Thank you for an outstanding explanation of these tools. You covered so many points I never would have considered. Everything from the thickness of the blade and how that can change the performance of the tool to how the finish can possibly change the consistency of measurements changes how I see the tools I use. I think I need to get myself a triangle now. Speeding up tenon layout is such a huge quality of life improvement. Thanks again for taking the time to produce these videos.
I am LOVING these comparison videos. I am looking to add some tools to my shop, and these have been really helpful. Thank you so much!
Also, I asked for, and received a set of those mechanical pencils based on your use of them. I love them and the’ve already become my go-to writing instrument.
I been using the Milwaukee for a while , I love it , I actually used sharpie to get rid of the glare ;)
Excellent idea. AHAA. I have one too.
Nice tip!
Paint pen would work well too
Was just going to suggest the same.
@J Paint pen would add to dimensions so ink pen prolly the best choice.
Me too. I use the notches on the inside to align my pencil to what ever increment I'm using. I'm not a fine cabinet maker so the Milwaukee does just fine for me.
I find the consistency of woodpeckers is spot on. Its hit or miss with the cheaper brands.
I am new to wood working and appreciate the way you break all of the pieces down. When purchasing future equipment I'll have a better understanding of what to look for
Thanks for the time you take to do a really good detailed job comparing tools in this and other videos you've produced. Not only does this help me consider which tools will help me, a beginner, do better in my shop, your approach is helping me learn how to think in a woodshop with attention to detailed precision and analyzing a tool, project or problem. Cool. Thanks again.
I've been using the milwaukee since it came out. The offset at the bottom has a different use as well. 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch are the most used reveals used on trimming doors and window casings so its super fast to mark where ur trim should be nailed up it saves so much time
Thanks so much for adding this. I had assumed this was the case as it sold as a trim square. I also figured the majority of people were going to use it more like the Woodpeckers.
This is my random comment!
Woodworking and gun videos are the only saving grace for TH-cam!
Dilly dilly
Thank you for your attention to the small details, it is incredibly insightful for me. I don't use my speed square all that much currently but I might use it more if it had some of the features of these guys.
I love the effort that you put not just into the video but also to remain impartial in the process. This was very helpful, thank you for this information.
Really enjoy the break down and information we give on these tools , some of us don't know all these tricks or realize what they are capable of doing. . So thank you .
Didn’t think I would learn as much as I did in this video. I love the honest comparisons of them.
Thank you. I appreciate a) the detailed comparisons b) no annoying background soundtrack c) demonstrating how to use the tools d) explaining the special and standard features of each.
My encouragement is to let go of your doubts about whether you are being clear. You are being clear. I encourage you to not apologize when you've done your best.
I have the Milwaukee 4" square in my apron pocket and I use it all the time, but didn't know about the very handy measurements built into the sizes of the parts of the square. Fantastic! Even more useful to me now! Thank you for the detailed explanation & demonstration for making layout lines.
Thank you so much for these videos! It’s always been my assumption that the cheaper versions are “the same” but your detailed analysis is helping me see exactly the differences that come up before I try to use a tool and then get frustrated that it’s not working correctly.
these videos are incredibly helpful... your delivery is very straight forward and easy to watch
Dude, you're crushing it with these comparison videos! Keep them coming!
As someone who is just getting into wood working, these type videos are EXCELLENT for learning all the functions of a tool as simple looking as a triangle. I will certainly be watching more of these from you! Thanks for taking the time to teach.
Twice in the same number of days you've had the EXACT video I was looking for. Love the content, keep it up.
Length was perfect, have been looking at these online for a week and couldn’t figure out big differences from pic. This video helped a ton.
I like your time and money spent to bring us help in deciding for ourselves what to buy
I really appreciate the unbiased, in-depth review. You answered a lot of questions I wouldn’t have known to ask. Clearly there are trade offs, but you’ve helped me develop an idea of which one is best for me. Thank you.
I don’t mind the length because your reviews are excellent. You are the reason I ordered a paolini pocket rule and I can’t wait for it to arrive. Keep up the good work and thank you for going into such depth on the difference in these tools.
Always enjoy comparison videos. Thanks for trying to help educate our building community.
Love these comparisons, I’m a hobbyist and I’m collecting tools I need and watching these really help. I’ve been considering the Milwaukee and woodpeckers squares.
Such good information. I thank you for taking the time to do these reviews. I learned like 4 things that I was unaware of and I have been using these for like 7 years. Thank you so much and keep up the great videos.
Thank you for the review and comparison. I enjoy your attention to detail and don’t mind the length. It helps that I watch these at 2x speed. Keep up the great work!
This is great! Love seeing the comparisons between them all. Everyone lauds the Woodpeckers so I’m glad to see them side by side.
I love what you are doing I think I have seen all of the others as I am looking at the Woodpecker tools and have watched yous and Bents woodworking lists and found what you two are doing is great. Keep up the great work. If people are as interested in finding the right product it is worth listening for 27 minutes. Great work and great information. Thank you for what you are doing.
Excellent evaluation- thank you. I own the woodpecker and you helped me see some additional ways to leverage its capabilities. Appreciate your channel and your approach to helping the community of woodwoorkers
Great stuff! And, you say, technical details are for those of us that are serious about taking our Woodworking skills to the next level. Thanks for taking the time for producing this piece.
Very informative and in-depth! Great stuff! We need more videos like this; which strikes a balance between length and clarity of information! Really helps in purchase decision making! Kudos!
I don’t mind the length at all. I appreciate the time and effort you put into covering the similarities and differences. I have the Milwaukee myself and it’s worked great thus far.
I, for one, appreciate how long they get. Longer is more detail and you’re being very detailed. Thank you.
I appreciate the topics you present. Your methods of demonstration and clear description are extremely helpful and have inspired me to take on projects that I would normally put to the wayside. I can always use a new tool...
I appreciate the time, effort and most of all, your insight and perspective in your videos.
Love your tool breakdown videos and appreciate the depth of detail on the tool that you go into. Thank you!!
Thanks so much for comparing these! I personally have the Woodpeckers and love it. It’s just the right size to fit in my shop apron or pocket. I use the 3/8” drilling hole all the time. Especially when drilling holes, say, on the back panel into the end of 3/4” stock where you don’t see the other edge the the 3/4”. It’s so much neater than having to make extra markings everywhere!
Great video. Since finding your channel I have found you have the best tool description/comparison. Excellent details letting the viewer know the real advantage of an expensive vs. a lower cost tool - if any.
Very helpful reviews and I appreciate your knowledge, attention to detail, and fairness in your comparisons.
Well done video. You efficiently covered a lot of detail and comparisons. I took up woodworking as a hobby after retirement and am continually amazed at the many functions and the differences from one brand to another.
Thanks for the comparison video. I love watching the detail in content like this. I usually go with a small combination square for trim but this looks to have some benefits over those!
This is about the best tool review I have ever watched. Yes a bit long but very comprehensive. You pointed out several points that I never would have considered myself. Thank you for sharing. Have a great 2021 and stay healthy. Subscribed.
Thanks for doing these tool comparisons. It has helped with clearing up some of my confusion with some of my tools
Keep the great content coming. These comparison videos definitely help to show the positives and negatives of each tool to make a more informed decision on what to purchase.
Love these comparison videos. Just starting out so I’ve been using the lower end stuff.
Great video going into the details. I wasnt sure what all the holes and notches were ment for, but now i do!
I love when people when they explain in detail it helped me understand how to their ment to work
I’ve been using the Milwaukee for a few months and love it for the cost. I love your comparison videos, I appreciate your detail and impartial reviews. Keep it up.
Thanks for your time to put together a video like this! To your comment about length: you're absolutely correct that to be in-depth and concise, you have to have it be longer than other videos. The extra 10 or so minutes does help to differentiate the products and highlight specific features, benefits, downsides, etc. Well done.
I love how every surface of the Woodpecker is milled to a specific measurement. Such a brilliantly simple design feature.
Another great video - love the thoroughness of your comparisons. Most appreciated Jody.
Comparisons are always helpful, I've always wondered if there was a difference in precise tools like that. Helpful ty.
Great job man, your attention to the details is why I like watching. Thanks
I appreciate the effort you go through to cover all of the features of each. Clearly you gained practical experience and created a comprehensive approach to explain the differences. So much better than the typical YT unboxing reviews where it’s all superficially observational. Now those are a waste of time unless you’re impressed by superficial observations. Well done....
Just setting up my shop, and I find your videos very informative. Thanks.
Perfect timing, I was just looking at the Milwaukee yesterday and wondered how it compared to Woodpeckers.
My Woodpecker research has been completed after watching your videos. Thanks for the comparisons, great information.
Excellent comparison and explanation of functions. Thank you! I use the Milwaukee version all the time as my goto for quick lines and as an edge guide for my circular saws in the field. The elongated window is really useful by flipping the square to view the wood edge in the window putting the 90 degree edge inboard as the distance from the edge for a line. I do not find these squares precise enough for detailed shop work, but are very handy for general trim and finish work in the field. And, your comment about those holes being too small for anything but a mechanical pencil is spot on…and I always break the lead in mechanical pencils.
I haven’t used any of the 3. I have been looking at the delve. Until now I have used rulers with architecture drawing shapes and my speed square. I really enjoy the depth and detail of your comparisons and the unbiased view you try so hard to maintain.
Another excellent review and comparison. It's amazing how a small difference such as eased vs rounded edges can make a difference! Thanks for the review
Great video. Just getting into woodworking. Your thorough explanation of all functions is a wonderful teaching aid for us newbies.
thank you for showing this. I appreciate being able to see the differences before deciding. also, thanks for the give-away
Great comparison video! I didn't realize some of the uses you could do with them.
A few months after I retired in 2017 our neighborhood was incinerated in a wildfire. After the rebuild I had the opportunity to build out part of my new garage for woodworking, and I've found this channel to be invaluable in my learning process. Thank you.
Great to see a video comparison done with knowledge and actual use
Really love the videos. I either have forgotten uses or learn new uses for the tools. I greatly appreciate the info. 👊🏼
I truly appreciate these videos. Excellent detail. Thanks for your work.
Great information--thanks! I've always used either a small, simple machinist's square (which has no measurement markings) or a 12-inch combination square (which is often clumsy because it's too big for the project. I can easily see where these small triangular squares would fill a need.
I just got the Milwaukee package square deal from home depot over the holidays and the smaller square is the best for small trim and finish work..but I still perfer woodpeckers tools for the shop environment only..one day I'll be able to get all the woodpeckers tools
Great videos as always very informative and NO YOUR VIDEOS ARE NOT TOO LONG ..I appreciate that you go into detail and explain everything on that particular product..no need for a manual instructions guide when we have you 🤣🛠👊😎👍
I really appreciate these videos! I have the Milwaukee and use it primarily to mark 90 and 45's. I don't use it to measure distances typically for the same reasons you pointed out. I have used the 3/8" shoulder to mark the center of stock, but the rounded edge means I run it from both sides to guarantee center
Lots of good information, like all of your videos. I appreciate that I don't have to figure all of that out on my own if I happened to buy one without any instructions.
Thanks!
Thanks for the detailed video. Anytime I learn something new, it’s a good video. I’ll be looking for the Milwaukee one.
Really enjoy your tool reviews. Thank you for your time and effort.
I have been watching your comparison videos and really appreciate the reviews.
Thanks for taking the time to do these comparison videos. Little details like the rounded edge on the Milwaukee is something that would most likely go unnoticed unless it was pointed out. Thank you!
Thank you for the detailed videos comparing basic measuring/layout tools.
