Thoughts entering one's mind need not exit one's mouth!
As I age my memory fades .... and that's a load off my mind!

I got the same email but didn't get to the pricing part. Holy cow, what a price. Remember though, they are only making a limited amount of them. Haha

I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.
Sure is fancy looking though.......
What should they cost?
Glad its my shop I am responsible for - I only have to make me happy.
Ha!Ha!Ha! I was wondering when somebody was going to post this. I have several Woodpecker Squares and other items which I love but I don't see the value in this. I use a speed square for rough carpentry work and my $3 plastic one works just fine. That one sure is purdy though.
I looked at the Amazon page in your link. I found it comical that Amazon charges more when you buy in bulk:
qty 1 price: $9.48
qty 2 price: $ 29.02
qty 6 price: $79.78
All advertise "Free" shipping....lol that's a hoot. I wonder how many people will buy the 6-pack rather than ordering 6 individual squares?
You've got to be careful with Amazon...I see this sort of crap often.

You forgot the sexy case it comes in!!!
It is listed as a "one time tool" I guess the square is going extinct...hence the price.
I could make one exactly like that for a lot cheaper prolly like five bucks. I have files, countersinks etc., probably all the tools I would need and aluminum is easy to machine. I know some guys that do anodizing.

Geez. Festool owners wish they could buy the bigger Woodpecker square (no longer made) to square of the MFT3 table, but this 6 inch tool would prove too small for that task. I understand if you are clever enough, you can purchase a Speed square and make it nearly perfect.
They are really proud of those "One Time" tools. Every time they send one of these emails out about a new one, it cracks me up at the price. The last one I remember was that mortise center finder.

I'd buy one just to drop it on concrete.By buying a One-Time Tool, you will own a limited run precisely machined tool that will make you the envy of all your woodworking friends and you have a tool that will be used for generations. These tools are proudly made in the U.S.A.
I've seen people purchase less for more.
