Woodpeckers OneTime Tool
No. 94 Dual Beam Scribe
Woodpeckers newest OneTIME Tool, the No. 94 Dual Beam Scribe, is a re-creation of the Stanley #94. The #94 was the second-generation of the Stanley Butt Gauge, patented more than one hundred years ago. Today few of us need to tackle hand-mortising passageway doors, but this clever tool comes in handy anytime you need to mark two different dimensions over and over again.
December 16, 2019 is the
last day to order!
