ben_r_ Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 LINK This little guy! Who's got one? Who loves it? I had one, and REALLY wanted to love it, but honestly I liked their 6" Carpenters Square (LINK) much more for all the tasks I was trying to use the DelVe Square for. I realize there are some "sneaky" little features in the DelVe Square, I just never put them to use much. Any of you have one and love it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After selling it I ended up just reverting back to a small Starrett machinist square I previously used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you keep the framing square in there as well ? LOL. Just jacking your strap, I keep a ton of stuff in my apron as well. Speaking of aprons we should start an apron club.

That is the third tool I keep in my apron but A lot of times its not set for 90 degrees which make the delve nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah you can see its replacement behind that one...just need to fix the strap to my liking. I need to save those leather apron dollars for more Woodpeckers tools.

pkinneb Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 So I took a few minutes and made some minor alterations to the new apron. First changed the straps to a neck loop, then added two pencil slots, and finally opened the last slot up so the remote fits better. Not sure what that little slot was for it was on my old one as well. I really like the bottom pockets on this one better then the old as well. Unfortunately I didn't have any brown or green thread so black it is...with a little glue and saw dust no it won't bother me too much lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_r_ Posted March 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 I like it! Thats a good set of tools to keep in the apron. Those and a tape measure hooked on my belt and Id be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_r_ Posted March 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Ha! A good ol Stanley? Nice. For the last couple years I have been all about the FastCap FlatBack (LINK). Thing is so nice for marking on boards since it lays perfectly flat on the work piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
