Woodpeckers One-Time Tool Pocket Compass

Product Information:

A compass that’s easy to use and stores conveniently in your pocket
There’s no doubt that a compass is often the best tool for drawing arcs and circles. But the traditional compass with its sharp, pointy ends isn’t always the best tool to keep in your shop apron let alone your pants pocket.

Now there’s an alternative. Introducing Woodpeckers new Pocket Compass. It’s compact, fast and stores easily where a traditional compass won’t.

The unique design of the Pocket Compass gives you an accurate, convenient tool for drawing arcs and circles from one inch up to 6-1/2” in diameter. It also eliminates the need for a ruler and even has a self-contained stainless steel pivot point. All that and it’s not much bigger than a bic lighter.

The main body of the Pocket Compass consists of two telescoping, precision machined aluminum parts: one with a pivot hole and engraved inch and metric scales, the other with pencil holes. Simply telescope the parts until the alignment mark matches the desired diameter, tighten the knob and you’re ready to go. With the pivot pin on your center mark, use any sharp wooden or mechanical pencil or scribe in the first tapered hole to draw your circle. Want a circle two inches bigger? No problem. Move the pencil to the hole marked “+2”.

It’s that easy. So if you’re looking for a simple tool that’s convenient as well as capable, consider Woodpeckers new Pocket Compass.

Machined in their shop just outside Cleveland, Ohio. Made in U.S.A.

What are our ONE-TIME TOOLS? They're the tools that our partners at Woodpeckers plan to run once. Often these are tools we ourselves would like but can't put in full production. The process is simple; they build a couple, take some pictures and open a 10-20 day window for others to jump on the production run. Once they know how many to make, they get them done and move on to something else.

By buying a One-Time Tool, you will own a limited run precisely machined tool that will make you the envy of all your woodworking friends and you have a tool that will be used for generations. These tools are proudly made in the U.S.A.
