Woodpeckers

Woodpeckers is a woodworking-tools brand founded in 1988. The company says it began by demonstrating tools at woodworking shows around the country and started manufacturing its own router tables and mounting plates in 1993. What began as a small product line has developed into a manufacturing operation in Strongsville, Ohio. The brand’s range serves practical woodworking and shop tasks, including precision measuring and layout, routing, clamping, drilling, joinery, and workholding. Products shown on its site include router tables, router lifts and fences, jigs, fixtures, precision squares, box clamps, and a spline jig. Its tools are designed to help woodworkers set up, measure, cut, assemble, and reinforce projects with accuracy. Woodpeckers describes its approach as engineering-led and focused on precision. Its engineers, machinists, assemblers, inspectors, and shipping team work under one roof, supporting close control from design and machining through inspection and packing. The company says it makes its tools in the United States and verifies that products meet intended standards; for example, it reports using a vision system to inspect precision squares for perpendicularity and scale accuracy. Founder and president Rich Hummel is identified on the company’s About Us page. The supplied evidence does not specify a parent company, ownership structure, or a complete list of countries served.

Woodpeckers says it has focused on woodworking tools since opening its doors in 1988. Its early activity included demonstrating tools at woodworking shows across the country. In 1993, the company began manufacturing its own router tables and mounting plates. This marked a shift from a small product line toward in-house product manufacturing. Over time, Woodpeckers expanded its range and manufacturing operation. Its current About Us description identifies the Strongsville, Ohio operation as the place where it produces precision measuring and layout tools, router lifts and fences, clamping systems, drilling accessories, jigs, fixtures, and related products. The company describes a team spanning engineering, machining, assembly, inspection, and shipping, working under one roof. It says this arrangement supports involvement throughout design, machining, product checks, and packing. Precision and verification are central themes in the company’s account of its development and manufacturing approach. Woodpeckers says it does not rely on machining alone: it verifies that tools meet the standards for which they were designed. As one example, it reports that every Woodpeckers precision square is inspected with a high-end vision system to check perpendicularity and scale accuracy. The company presents U.S. manufacturing as part of its identity and says its tools are made in the United States. The company identifies Rich Hummel as its founder and president. Its present product offering, as reflected in the supplied site material, spans measuring and layout tools, router-table equipment, clamps, drilling accessories, and specialized jigs for woodworking operations. The available evidence does not establish subsequent ownership changes, a listing, or a detailed international expansion history.
