Hook rulers have been around for ages. They're advantage is the ability to quickly and exactly reference the starting edge of a board. Woodpeckers has taken this idea and developed a simple hook that attaches to their Woodworking Rules*. The Hook Stop is especially helpful when working with longer rulers. Imagine being two or three feet away from the zero end of the ruler, rather than stretching to try and keep the zero end flush with the boards edge, you can simply hook that end onto the board and away you go. Simple and effective. Like all Woodpeckers tools, made in their shop just outside Cleveland, Ohio. * The Hook Stop is not compatible with older Woodworking Rules as well as any vintage 6”. The way to know is to look at the top for two threaded holes located at 1/4” and 3/4”. If the threaded holes are there then the Hook Stop will attach. Rulers purchased after 12/1/2011 should have the holes in them.
- Not compatible with SERX Straight Edge Rules

Good attachment
Do not be fooled by the picture. This piece is not very big. The length only goes past the edges of the ruler by maybe a few mm. If it was longer, it could be used easier to make sure the lip is completly flush on the wood.
