Hook rulers have been around for ages. Their 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 Woodpeckers 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 board's edge, you can simply hook that end onto the board and away you go. Simple and effective.

Like all Woodpeckers products, the Hook Stop is proudly machined and carefully inspected in the Strongsville, OH facility, just south of Cleveland.

* The Hook Stop is not compatible with older Woodworking Rules or any vintage 6". To confirm compatibility, look at the top of your rule for two threaded holes located at 1/4" and 3/4". If the threaded holes are there, then the Hook Stop will attach. Should work with rulers purchased after 12/1/2011. Not compatible with SERX Straight Edge Rules.
