Thread: Wanted Woodpeckers

I had a quick look around, after seeing it on a bunch of (probably sponsored!) youtube videos. They're pretty expensive down under!
eg Woodpeckers(R) woodworksupplies.com.au

VS from manufacturer
641/851 Squares Set by Woodpeckers in

eg: 641M square
AU$170 "on special" vs US$65.99

They certainly are mate but just thought i would treat myself to something nice

Don't like my chances of anyone selling anything but you never know

cheers

You could always buy from here.

I've brought my woodpeckers rules from Aussie shops, as the postage and exchange rates kill of the differential and the cost is forgotten when you use the tools, because they just work.

There have been a few selling Woodpeckers stuff here so you might be lucky!

True and i do like trying to buy local whenever possible

I would also imagine it would be a bit of a wait getting stuff sent over from the US given the current situation

USPS Priority Mail International Parcel from Upstate NY to outer suburban Melbourne took 14 days door to door - arrived today.

I had a normal US post parcel sent on 04/04/20 arrive 01/06/20, almost 2 months!

I don't know how your one took only 2 weeks but I wouldn't take that as the norm. Parcels I'm sending interstate are taking around a week and a half currently.

You pay a little more for USPS Priority International, but it is pretty quick.

I always understood Priority International to just be the standard USPS airmail (not via ship) postage option, Priority Express is the premium one that's faster I thought?

Similar to how it used to be here in OZ, if you didn't put an Air-Mail sticker on what you were sending overseas it went via ship even though it didn't cost any extra.

Not 100% sure, but was pretty happy with 14 days door to door for Priority Mail International.

I've got a 600mm Woodpeckers T square that I'd be willing to part with if you're interested.

Love mine!!!

Hi mate are you able to post a pic? What are you wanting for it?

cheers

As requested.....

The square is as new. It has never been dropped and I've only ever used it with a pencil (i.e. not with a marking knife). Any marks on the photo are sawdust or reflection from the flash. The anodising is 100% and there are no dings or scratches that I have found. The MDF case has been sprayed with a couple of coats of satin poly and there are a few mounting holes drilled which are totally obscured by the square when mounted. There is one hole on the front which I use to hang my 300mm steel ruler off (not included) and a mark on the bottom right hand corner. The only problem is I may have a bit of a problem removing it from the wall because I sort of "built it in" and it may be wedged between my bench and the overhead cupboard. The 2 pencils are unused and unsharpened.

I think $260 with postage included is a fair price. Let me know if you're interested and I'll look at getting it out.



Cheers,
Mike
