Pocket Rules: Clear Style VS Woodpeckers Paolini
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 06. 2024
- Knockoff tools are tempting to buy with their lower price points, but do they really hold up to the same standards as their name-brand siblings? Today we're taking a deep dive into the differences between the Woodpeckers Paolini Pocket Rule and the Clear Style Pocket Rule, a seemingly newcomer to the market.

Hey all. We have officially closed the giveaway on this one. Thanks so much to all that watched and left a comment!
Switching between “whatever ruler is the closest” has gotten me in a pickle more than once. Practicing consistency and patience will eventually be more valuable than any tool I can buy!
CZcams only allows "like", but you're basically adopted. Good boy. Now, go do your chores.
(Bro-sh!t aside, seriously: insight)
I feel like there's a lot of value to be had in videos like these. Both for the viewers and the content creator. Hopefully they're popular. Good job! 👍👍
Always glad to see another Jody video pop up. Thanks for the review and thanks for all the time you spend teaching us and letting us look over your shoulder as you work
I have always liked all of your videos but these head to head comparisons are my favorite. I appreciate how informative you are. Thanks
SO I watched this video the day after I ordered the off brand. They came in the. Day after I saw it and i could tell that I wanted the accuracy of woodpeckers. Just received my woodpeckers set and so happy I upgraded. Thanks for the video
I love these comparison videos always find something else to look into for when I can afford to upgrade my tools.
Its been an Inspire Woodcraft kind of evening for me. I just spent a couple of hours in my shop jointing some 2x material using your table saw technique. Came back inside and saw a notification for this video and spent 22 minutes watching a review I didn't know I needed. I find your videos quite helpful. Glad I found your channel.
I'm a newbie to woodworking (about a year). I've learned a lot from you and others on CZcams. I started with mostly budget tools, but I'm upgrading as income permits. Thanks for all the help. It really makes a positive impact on people like me.
One of the more in-depth and Informative reviews I;ve seen. But honestly, the Clean Style would be a welcome addition to my apron - it's accuracy would help my failing eyes (nearing 70 but still making sawdust) The last 64th I saw was almost 6 years ago on my birthday!
Your videos are always thorough and insightful, thank you for the effort!
Didn’t realize that I needed one of these until watching this video. Have always gotten by with a double square but now see the definite advantages of these.
Great comparison. Your explanation of the V vs U groove is brillant. I wouldn't have thought it would make such a difference. Thanks for sharing your experience!
This is a measuring tool that I've always wanted. One day I'll get my hands on one or two and or three.
I've always wondered what made the Woodpeckers brand so premium, and this video did a great job explaining that. While I think the Woodpecker brand is probably objectively better for all the reasons you described, I've never needed accuracy to that degree, so the Clear Style would probably be fine for my shop (except the red looks better. :D)
Great demo- I enjoy the information that you provide the community and the way you deliver it, top notch! I have been wanting to pull the trigger on the Woodpecker Paolini set and saw the Clear Style and was considering those as well. Thanks for the intricate reviews on both!
Excellent comparison! And thank you for pointing the differences in accuracy of the notches between both rules.
LOL, “Just having that little extra inch down there can make quite a big difference”... in my best Michael Scott voice... “That’s what she said”
What's the difference between "Ooo" and "Ahh"? About three inches.
Why are guys so immature?
@@jodymontez693 LOL, that is a question for the ages
Can’t afford either. Lol. I use a cheap combi square for just about everything
How much was the clear style? WP was $150, but the CS is no longer available from Amazon.
I'm in the same boat there bubba, so dont fret about it!!
Use what you got, and make what ya got count!!!
If we were all rich or sponsored or would be different. Then we could afford, or get what ever we wanted/needed.
Not knocking dude in the video by any means at all here, just stating the facts is all.
Always dig your tool videos, whether tool reviews or just tool talk. Well done.
Your style of teaching is precise and to the point and this old man gets it. Always look forward to your videos. Thanks for the work you put in to share your knowledge.
Seems like both of these would be more accurate than the user (me).
“Having that extra inch down there really comes in handy” 😂😂😂😂
Great info like always! Been looking at the woodpeckers one for a while. Finally have my first real shop and building it out has been a blast...but expensive lol
Had the exact same thought ha ha ha
Literally said to myself..."that's what she said"
@@lostinadream1866 it was too perfect to just let it go lol
@@joshweaver8806 I knew I couldn't have been the only one that chuckled ha ha ha
It's not the length of the tool it's how you use it :)
Love your videos. I watch as much to learn as for enjoyment. Your explanation and teaching style are what I like best! Keep up the good work!
Thank you for the unbiased review of the two item. With all the tools that are out there and the limited budget an honest review is appreciated.
I have always felt that while Woodpecker tools look great and are extremely well made, I have trouble justifying the price.
I spent a lot of money on tools that I hardly use. I enjoy owning them, but sometimes feel like one day I’ll regret wasting all that money.
I don't think they are expensive at all. Just like festool... You get what you pay for. If you are a carpenter making at least 100+ hr as a good one should, you can make it pay for itself in a couple of hours.
This video is like comparing a prius to a rolls royce... LOL
The problem with knockoffs is that it is a stolen idea used to profit China.
People say so what if I buy from China. Well that is a huge issue. There are so many thing that are not made in the USA and because there is such a limited amount of USA made prices are high just to be able to afford the cost of living.
Prices are to high because so many people in the United States rather give China control over our economy.
Spending 500% more for 5% improvement (current chienese set available for $18 vs woodpeckers $115)
Maybe the mm end of the black one is for using the zero to centerfind on a board’s edge by eyeballing the edges to the same opposing numbers? 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks for the video. As a beginning woodworker I find your videos very informative and easy to follow. This set would be a great addition to my slowly growing toolbox.
Thank you for the excellent illustration of the tool and the differences between the two. I do love woodpecker tools myself and have a few myself. I didn’t originally find a need for this one in particular but now think it would be great for setting up my router. Thanks again for the attention to the details, really helpful.
"really, how would they know?"
You just elevated yourself above every PEng who ever failed to question their own supremacy. SECOND round is now on me. Crap.
I am sure Woodpeckers' tools are great tools, but just haven't gotten to the point where it makes sense to pay the price for them..
Such a great and unbiased review...but also helpful to learn all the features of the pocket rulers! Gotta get one!
Can’t wait for the rest of the series. Excellent video as always
I've never used a pocket rule. My typical go to is a combination square.
Bingo!
When I am looking for unbiased new tools, I search for you, James at Stumpy Nubs and Project Farm. Between the three of you, I am going broke!

Thanks for doing these comparison videos, they are really helpful to understand the nuances of the features and how the differences might affect me in my shop.
General diyer woodpecker look great But to expensive for me.
Having an extra inch will make a difference. My inner 12 year old yelled out “that’s what she said.” Hope I got someone to laugh.
My mind went there also.😆
Beat me to it lol
Thanks for your in depth review of the woodpecker Paolini Rule. I have had mine for some time but really never took the time to actually learn to use it. I always reverted back to my tape or my starrett square. Now, I finally understand thanks to your video.
I'm new to the craft and love your explanations of the tools, and the value of the different features. Looking forward to seeing more.
On my budget, WP is currently out of reach.
Yep, me too! The 6in. Kreg pocket ruler works great for me!
I'm in a position in my life where I could fill my shop with Woodpecker tools.
I got here, partly by not buying them in the first place.
Basically exactly the video I’ve been waiting for! Thank you!
I appreciate your videos. I always get some tips and tricks from them and always learn something in each of your videos. Keep up the great work.
Thank you, your detailed description of both pieces made it easy for me to make a decision on which I will purchase.
Great walkthrough as always 👍I was talking with my brother about a blade deflection issue I was having and the use of my Woodpeckers mini square. He again related to me that his favorite is the Paolini pocket square and how he uses it daily. Looks like I need to get on the bus.
Thanks for the great info.
You are excellent in your presentation!! You obviously use your equipment and understand it and are able to relay your knowledge in a clear and understanding way. Thank you!
That is "key" to having a good CZcams channel I think.
I've been on some channels and thought, "What is this person trying to get to here!!!!???"....and they just totally loose my interest.
Love your layout tool comparisons. Very thorough my man.
Great in-depth review ! Don't have either yet, but have been thinking about the woodpecker one based on your review and "bang for the buck" advice. Glad to see you back! Thanks for all you do!
Thanks! Tool reviews, and especially comparisons, are truly helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the video. It's nice to see someone who tries to look out for the viewers
Thanks for the thorough review, it's always good to see how various options compare. Not sure if I'd really need a pocket ruler but I can see how it can be handy in certain situations.
Building up my tool collection to start my own side business would love a set of these. Love the vids keep up the good work.
Great job explaining the differences. Very clear how much thought Woodpeckers puts into the design of their tools.
Really appreciate the comparison between the two tools. Great job.
Hey Jody, what an appropo video for me. I just found the ClearStyle and was considering them. I know I'm going to enjoy the video. Thanks for contributing to the community.
Thank you for the review! It's helpful to see various uses! I'm just getting started and all information is greatly appreciated!
I had the good fortune to take a class, taught by Greg Paolini, in 2019. As a parting gift, Greg gave us each a Paolini pocket rule. What a handy tool, after a great class, taught by a wonderful guy! I hope to go back for another class, after the pandemic is over; and I use the Pocket rule every single day.
Love these videos. Very helpful information!
Thanks for doing these videos. I don't mind the length at all. Great information!
Thanks for taking the time an all the details in the differences between the two rulers.
A very informative comparison. After a career in measurement science, I also appreciate your discussion of the differences between having a semicircle versus a vee in the end of the rule, and the resulting difference in positional accuracy.
I can see the advantages of those types of rules for various types of measuring and marking. They would definitely be a step up from the low-cost and budget tools I have now. Hoping that stimulus money comes soon.
I'm just getting started and I'm excited for the series
Thank you again for your detail and approach and making woodworking accessible. I can now see see value of the woodpecker details vs a knockoff and in this case very useful!
Nice explanation of the used of the tools and comparison of features. Great explanation of the difference of the Vee and round pencil lead notch too - every little bit of inaccuracy adds up to a larger problem. Good info!
Thanks for the info. I enjoy your comparisons. Looking forward to future videos
Just getting started in my shop, will probably go the less expensive route for now. Thanks for the great info!
Great comparison! Thanks for giving us less expensive options for beginners.
Great Video... I'm learning about tools I didn't even know existed. I've watched several of your videos and appreciate the objectivity; actually watched the video about the Woodpecker rules yesterday. I've been doing projects off and on for years, but very intermittently and I'm trying to be more serious in what I do. I worry with the vast array of tools that many are cool but not really necessary. Your perspective is extremely useful so I'll be watching a lot more. Cheers!
Thank you for the lengthy and comprehensive review. I have a few Woodpecker measuring tools and pleased with the functionality especially as they come in fully metric versions and not compromised by some other measuring system.
Watching your videos is helping a new wood worker out
Great explanation of differences. Learnt a lot. Justified the higher cost with better accuracy and usefulness. Thank you and keep teaching and explaining stuff. You get what you pay for and thankfully there are people and companies that believe in making quality over quantity.
Great explanation on the V groove vs the circular groove.
Thank you for reviewing and comparing these against each other.
Loving these videos. As a beginner, there's lots of great information.
Great tools and great techniques. I especially like the precision of the V vs semicircle. I've heard that you can't work wood to 32nd inch tolerance. But I find going for it makes a difference. I'd like to use the Clear instead of the tri-square I use now. Thanks for the thoughtful Woodworking Tips.
Valuable comparison and information. I’m unconvinced that I need either one, especially the expensive one.
Nice solid review. Always appreciate your videos and love your channel. Keep up the goodness 😊
Thank you for sharing your experience! Would love either of these.
These pocket rules would be great to help me improve my skills and then be able to teach my son how to make things when he gets a few years older. Love your videos, they are always educational, clear, and to the point without much fluff.
Awesome video. Will keep working my way through the rest of your videos. Keep it up!
Hey, I truly appreciate your unbiased Comparison on your tool reviews. It truly helps woodworking hobbyist like myself justify spending money and where. Thanks to your review, I picked up one of the blemish adjustable squares. My go to at this point and money well spent!
That's awesome! Probably the best deal on a layout tool you can find in my opinion!
I'd love to get my hands on the Clear Style set. Thanks for the review.
Never heard of or have seen these type of rules. Great detailed video of the products 👍
These reviews and use scenarios are great!
My first time here. Enjoyed the review. I haven't used or seen these two pocket rules. Thanks!
Thanks for the video. I had thought about buying the Clear Style set, but had some questions that you answered.
Glad to see a post from you today!!! I think my grandson and I would make good use of this rule set .we build “stuff “. Thanks. A nice comparison. I built and use your box jig. Best one on CZcams. Lou
I have not used this type of ruler. I have a little 6” combination square I use all the time that lives in my apron though. After seeing your examples, I can see how this would come in super handy and would definitely keep the small one in my apron too.
Thanks for the informative review!
Don’t have either, just starting out. Thanks for the videos, keep up the great work!
A set would be great! Just found your channel and enjoying it - keep up the great work!
Just found your channel the other day. Loving your videos. Just completed my first shou sugi ban piece following your method. Making a wall mounted coat rack with it. Thanks!
Thanks for good detailed analysis, Keep up the great work
Nice video breaking down the differences, much appreciated before making purchases
I've never used one of these. Just my combination and double square. Thanks for the lesson.
Real good explanation on those differences that do make a difference
Great detailed review! Thanks for the information, have been looking to get a set.
I love your reviews. You made me by that pencil you use. Love it!
Love the channel, Jody. Great content
Thanks for putting together this video as well as your other budget vs premium layout tool comparison videos.
I finally ordered the woodpeckers 8” pocket rule to keep in my apron. I have their 4” saddle square and love it but an 8” version of that is too big for my apron. I wanted the pocket rule for parallel marking and layout work and think this will be much easier to keep in my pocket than a double square.
Woodpeckers makes fantastic tools that last a lifetime but their higher price point, for me at least, means buying one and not a set. I have only been wood working for a year so selecting one size and hoping that is the correct one for your workflow is intimidating. I’d imagine this is true for other new woodworkers
But I wish I would have seen this video or known about the clear style set on Amazon two weeks ago. For the price I paid for my woodpeckers 8” rule in stainless I could have gotten a full set of the clear style. Even if these are not tools that last a lifetime, it would let me try out the different sizes and determine which size works best for me before spending the money on a woodpecker version.
Thanks for including the giveaway. Here’s to hoping I win to figure out what is the right size pocket rule for me as I continue to practice building my skills as a woodworker.
