As much as I hate to admit it, me too. 30 dollar cheap somewhere Else made jeans vs 100 buck American jeans of slightly quality jeans. The 50 buck foreign vs the 100 buck American. I would still bought the foreign jeans. Just being honest. If it’s for 50 percent but 75 percent. Prob buy American. The gap is so huge these days. I want to buy American made. But I sometimes feel that the American company ask more just bc it’s American made only, and no other reason. To an extent, they have that right. But I also have the right to buy oversea stuff. We, as Americans or the west need to find a way to fit the hole someway where everyone actually wins from ceo to plant emp to buyer of the thing

The triangular scale is an architects scale. It is for pulling off measurements from scaled blue prints. Use three 1/4” scale to measure/draw 1/4” =1’-0” blue prints, etc.

Excellent quality for the price. I own the 8" jointer. My only complaint would be the aluminum tables. Mine started getting scratched up immediately so I just ordered some cast iron ones from cutech. I also have a wen router, a wen impeller for my dust collector, and several measuring tools. They are all great

[@joelsherrouse2053]

That triangular ruler is an "Architect's Scale and doesn't have metric markings. Theyre used to draw and measure distances on standard scales uses in Architectural draft work. You can also get them in Engineer Scale where it uses standard Engineering scales (i.e. the "40" side has 40 marks per inch and is used for a 1"=40' scale).

[@jricard0745]

Just a comment about Woodpeckers: I was fortunate to have a personal one-on-one tour of their manufacturing facility. As a manufacturing engineer I was interested in their processes. Their array of the latest machining technology and the volume of CNC multi-axis machining centers is more than a little impressive. I was blown away, and that's not easy to do with my experience. Interestingly, I learned that 40-50% of their production is sold to tool collectors. It would be awesome to afford to fully equip my shop with their products, however, I'm just a hobbyist and conservative buyer. I really enjoy your product reviews. It has helped me on numerous occasions.

[@billrogers6863]

Sounds like Woodpeckers is sort of like Bridge City Toolworks (the brainchild of John Economacki) which made some very high-grade stuff.

I have been to the gardens, not too long ago, I think it was 1963 or so. Such a beautiful place. Thankx for the wonderful video.

Hey Matt great video and Wen makes some awesome stuff! The 6 sided ruler is actually an architectural ruler commonly used to draw blueprints, there are 6 "scales" on it, 1/4" = a foot, 3/8"= a foot and so on , no metric on that particular ruler, cool products from Wen though!!!

Once again, Matt, Thanks for the review. I appreciate the links to the WEN products. Probably like most...went to Amazon and found most all of them "Temporarily Out Of Stock", flipped over the the Home Depot site and found all of them available and having them shipped to the house. I agree, I find myself always searching for a measuring tool when working in my shop...I am notorious for misplacing mine. Can't have too many at this point in time.

I’ve been using the WEN dust collectors and filters on-site for the last four years For the quality, reliability and cost of both the units and the consumables, they cannot be beat. Glad to see their tools are on point too!

I have been a fan of Wen Tools for a while. I own several, including the 10-inch variable drill press, track saw, and 9-inch bandsaw. I am an occasional DIY guy, so I am not putting them through heavy usage, but to this point, I have had no issues, and they do the jobs I need them for at a price that I can afford. Here's a little clarification on the company (from their website): "WEN products are made in many locations around the world, including the United States, Germany, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, and China. WEN's headquarters are in West Dundee, Illinois, and they also have warehouses in several US locations."

[@PCPerks757]

I got some of mine delivered and like you did, I lined them up with the couple of woodpecker tools I have and they were DEAD ON! They even feel similar in weight and rigidity. I’m guessing they may not wear as well or have the same level of durability maybe, but I’m going to be using them and see.

Just an FYI, the triangle ruler IS a drafting and cartography ruler. A lot of time, they were used for both. The squares & rulers are very useful with the metric system as a lot of plans that you find on places like Pintrest are in metric units. So this makes the layout so much simpler.

[@bloox7005]

It actually has 11 scales. 5 are double ended, and the eleventh is the full size 1 inch scale. Since I haven't seen it mentioned...the fine markings at the ends are for accurately drawing fractions of a foot at scale. So a 1/4" scale has 12 divisions for the 12 inches in a 1/4" foot.

many years ago i bought a couple of wen power tools. i was on a tight budget, but i really did not like them. didn't even look at wen again till recently. i wanted to get a sliding miter saw. i wanted one that would tilt both left and right. needed a slider also. found the wen 12 inch miter saw. it was well made, had the sliding mechanism which slid from the front. this is one of the best miter saws i have ever owned. wen has really stepped up their game and their prices are very competitive.

I have the Wen oscillating drum/belt sander, been meaning to pick up the 12” drill press too, just hard to find in stock. I can’t lie, I like the red anodizing of the Woodpeckers (though I don’t own any, only some Amazon knock-offs); I think Wen could’ve stood out more by making these in their orange color, though understandably, a lot of ppl prefer the ‘stealth’ or inconspicuous black color.

I saw these on Amazon a couple of weeks ago. I thought for that price point they must not be accurate. Thanks for correcting me Matt. 👊

Great video Matt definitely going to check these out. Thanks for sharing

Each of them look like a great product. I'm going to look at purchasing a couple items

Woodpecker makes excellent tools, but I can't afford them. I really appreciate you sharing your find with us! 😃😃😃

Time to add to the Wen collection in my garage 😂. The prices of these things are impossible to resist. Great video, Matt.

Didn't even watch your video, came here for the shirt! Amen! Thanks for the advise, didn't know there was a cost effective competitor.

Matt, this is a great one from you. I (and I hope, many of your subscribers would like to see more of) would like to see you do more of the financial friendly tools like Wen and Ryobi and possibly others. You see I am on fixed income and still need and want more economical tools. I am in the Ryobi battery platform and actually been using them probably 20+ years. While my tools that truly matter(Miter Saw, table saw and routers), I have Wen benchtop tools and even my track saw is a Wen. But my most healthy needed tool is my Festool sander and extractor (only Festool I own and is their cheapest sander and extractor). My next tool will be the Wen 4214 benchtop variable speed drill press. Would love to see your review of this. I would really like for you to reply so I can get your thoughts on this
