Paolini Rule - Woodpeckers

Professional woodworker Greg Paolini builds one-of-a-kind commissioned furniture and exquisite custom kitchens. In his spare time, he designs tools to make woodworking faster, easier and more enjoyable. Several years ago, he inspired us to come up with the ideal woodworkers pocket rule. Paolini Pocket Rules have been a favorite OneTIME Tool ever since. A simple add-on fixture and thoughtful scale layout make these the perfect fit for your apron pocket. Answering thousands of requests, the Paolini Pocket Rules are now joining our permanent product line-up.

What sets Paolini Pocket Rules apart from all others? The most unique feature is the stop that slides up and down the length of the blade. Lock it in to make repetitive measurements on multiple boards. There is also a fine notch in the end of the rule. Set your stop, place a pencil in the notch, and you have got an instant marking gauge.

When you need vertical measurement, slide the stop off the end and insert it into the cut-out on the blade. Now your rule has a perfect stand to keep it upright while you use both hands to dial in the height of a router bit, saw blade or dado stack, matching it to the easy-to-read scale engraved on the end of the rule.

Easy-to-Use graduation design. The standard model has 1/16" and 1/32" scales on both sides. They are lined up so if you need the finer scale, you just flip the rule over and you are there. Same thing for the end scale, just flip it over to look at finer or coarser graduations. It’s a welcome feature if your shop lighting isn’t perfect or if your eyesight isn’t what it used to be.
