Strongsville, OH – Northeast Ohio tool manufacturer, Woodpeckers, recently announced its new Pocket Compass in two sizes. Woodpeckers designed the Pocket Compass to safely fit in your pocket and deliver accurate curve layouts. The original model draws circles from 1 ” to 7″, and takes up as much room in your pocket as a butane lighter. Customers asked for more capacity, so Woodpeckers released a second model…Pocket Compass XL, with a range from 2″ to 21″.

Woodpeckers Pocket Compass works similarly to a traditional beam compass, except, the beam of the Pocket Compass rests on the surface of your work…you don’t have to balance the tool on two sharp points. Adjust the two-piece body to your desired measurement, remove the stainless-steel pivot pin from its storage port, spot it into your axis point, drop a pencil through the correct hole and draw your arc. Since the tool is lying flat on your work, you can get a new grip any time you need without losing your place. Gravity is working with you instead of against you.

Woodpeckers has focused on the needs of hobbyist woodworkers since 1988 and began manufacturing the majority of their offerings in 1993. The company makes precision layout tools, router tables and lifts, innovative clamping tools, carbide router bits and a wide variety of helpful shop products. Their facility houses a vast array of computer-controlled mills and lathes and employs over 100 skilled American workers.
