Key Features
Fast, repeatable layout Pick a hole, drop your pencil, and slide the square along the edge to mark consistent offsets without measuring each time. True perpendicular lines The T reference gives you a dependable ninety degree edge for squaring up cabinet parts, hinge locations, and joinery layout. Pocket-size, shop-ready Woodpeckers Pocket T-Squares are compact enough to keep on you, so you stop hunting for a full-size square for quick marks.
Overview
Woodpeckers Pocket T-Squares are compact layout squares built for quick, accurate marking when you are fitting parts, laying out joinery, or locating hardware. This is a layout square designed for precision woodworking layout. Model Number: TS-RI-ISET20.
The whole idea is speed without guessing. Instead of pulling a tape, making a mark, checking it again, and hoping you hit the same offset on the next part, you place the square on the edge and use the built-in hole pattern to put your pencil exactly where you want it.
For joinery layout, this matters because your mortises, tenons, and rabbets only fit as well as your lines. The T-style reference makes it easy to strike clean perpendicular layout lines, and the hole grid lets you repeat the same setback across multiple parts without doing math.
These are also handy for cabinet and door work. Marking the location of hinges and other cabinet hardware gets simpler when you can reference the edge and hit the same offset on every stile or door without re-measuring.
On the job or in the shop, size is a feature. The Pocket T-Square format is meant to live in an apron or shirt pocket, so you actually have a square on you when you need one for a fast mark.
If you do woodworking, cabinetmaking, or trim and finish work and you like tools that help you work to a line instead of “close enough,” these are made for you.
Keep a layout square within reach
When a square is easy to carry, you use it more. That means fewer “freehand” lines and fewer surprises at assembly.
- Compact format designed to ride in a pocket
- Edge-referenced layout for quick offset marks
Clean offsets without measuring
The hole pattern is the time-saver. Put your pencil in the right hole, slide the tool along the edge, and your layout line stays consistent across parts.
- Hole pattern supports marking in 1/32 in increments
- T reference makes it easy to draw perpendicular layout lines
Stay organized between cuts
Layout tools do not help if they are buried in a drawer. Keeping pocket squares visible makes it easier to grab the right one and get back to work.
- Easy to keep in plain sight for fast access
- Handy for repeated marking during joinery and cabinet layout
