Couldn't have seen the tool in better hands. Love every minute of every video. Thank you Cody for all you do.
I’m the first like of your comment 😂 congratulations 👍🏼
Come on Stanley, you know what you've got to do. Remake it and credit Wranglestar and give him a hundred to give away to his subscribers.
I've been looking for one of those for quite some time now, but the original ones are rare and expensive. Looks like I need to get one of those:

There is a company that has been making tool, www.garrettwade.com/historic-odd-job-gp.html
400 comments here - perhaps 1/2 can ask (toolguyd.com/woodpeckers-odd-job-tool/) for a remake....
Stephen Zevetchin good idea.
I've emailed Stanley tools. You never know!
Stanley made them for years until some corporate overlord took over and realized they were selling one tool that does a dozen jobs instead of a dozen tools that do one job.
Zach Turner Other than drawing a radius, it can't do anything a combination square can do, and the the combo square seems to be the tool that replaced this.
Those are very cool tools. The original rule for the Odd Job was a simple wood ruler so perhaps a new "ruler" project could be in store for that little gem! LOL
What a nifty little tool. Loved how you replaced the missing ruler with a Stanley ruler. Fitting.
With the arrowhead end I wonder if you could run a string around the other end and also have a plumb bob?
David Broadway strange but you can
remove the pivot? that would work i think, not a carpenter, but thats my take, i could be wrong with the construction.
David Broadway who is bob?
David Broadway, I think it's called Stanley "oddjob 1".. I really think it may have been Stanley's first pattened tool...
David Broadway I need a small wall putting up anyone?
Thumbs up for showcasing one of Stanleys most interesting gadgets.
Thank you. It is interesting. MrsW
Dear Wranglerstar, Love your videos. I recently started my own construction company and your tutotials on repairing and re- handling shovels and axes have been extremely valuable to me. And I love seeing the old and hand made tools. However, i have one criticism: Your videos tend to be quite long. Now that I've written it it sounds petty, but I have two little kids and rarely have 20 minutes to watch on of your videos from beginning to end.
Keep up the good work!
Thats it.
It truly is an Odd Job tool👍🤷🏾♂️ You are so blessed to get special tool to share with us Mr Wranglerstar 🙏😇
The old tools are great. I have a few in my garage up on a shelf or hanging under a cabinet, I dont really use them but like to have them there to remind me of what my grandfather might have used.
I'm wondering why did the combination square replace it.
Looks really great!
Cristiano Nogueira cheaper?
Because the combo square is a lot more functional when actually working. You can hold onto the combo square and balance with the same hand; as in leaning over a wall when marking a rafter. It does everything the odd job does and is also ergonomic. They don't look quite as cool though.
It's the ingenuity of these devices! How did they come up with so many functions? The 1800s were an explosion of ideas and ingenuity, love it.
Wow! That is a neat little tool! The swiss army knife of woodworking tools :)
So many ways to accomplish each task in woodworking! The head spins figuring out each "best way."
That is a treasure! I found the manual for it and at the time of manufacture, it cost 75 cents. That's amazing! Thanks for sharing.
That is clearly still a very relevant tool Stanley never should've stopped making those.
Cody,
As you said, it is not the most accurate of tools, but for the "odd jobs" that you are doing it will be more accurate than a SWAG tool. A modification that could be done is to drill a hole large enough for the scribe to fit in. The hole should be on the flat end and centered with the point, that way you could use it as a plumb bob. To use it as a plumb bob, take the scribe out and put it through the holder, on the end, of your chalk line, and it is now a plumb bob.

I just came across a small antique shop and it has the same tool, but it's for metal work. It has a tiny vice and anvil. The man said he has a couple of the Stanley tools in this video. He has lots of old levels, squares, specialist Irwin auger bits and brace. The auger bit comes in 2 pieces with a separate blade. 26" woods planes too.
Quite a useful little tool, thanks for doing a feature on this!
This channel is so therapeutic. Congratulations
a trick : you can watch movies on kaldrostream. Been using it for watching lots of of movies recently.
@Brayan Willie Definitely, been using kaldroStream for since december myself =)
@Brayan Willie yea, have been watching on KaldroStream for since november myself :)
I have an old one sold at Harbor Fright 30 years ago made of brass, with a 12-inch ruler. It is twice the size of the original Stanley Odd Job, and I have found it very accurate and useful over the years. Paid $3.50 new.
"yet to come across" You are literally holding it in your hands!
Thank you for taking the time to correctly incorporate 'intents and purposes' into your vocabulary. Sincerely.
What do you have against intense purposes? :-P
Do you mean besides it being a nonsensical phrase? :-P
Words are our tools of communication. So, learning new vocabulary is much like getting a new tool for your shop. It lets you have the right tool for the job, instead of using a hammer to drive screws.

All tents and porpoises.
No, please don't contribute to the erosion of our language.
Anyone who has owned a home built before 1930 knows almost everything was built onsite...cabinets, doors, etc., sometimes it drives me nuts when I work on these old homes, but they display a level of craftsmanship that has been lost by the common carpenter
Cool little tool, I've seen a few of those over the years, and never looked twice at them.
I love just looking at the walls of your shop. It's a visual delight of tools and organization. I might be listening, but I'm not looking at you when you're talking, LoL...
My maternal grandfather had one of these with the 2ft folding rule, he kept it in a homemade leather pouch/scabbard on his tool belt.
Going to show my dad this channel. We do machining but lately my brother and I started getting into woodworking... Fun stuff
In the 2nd year of my apprenticeship as an engineers patternmaker in the UK (there are many trades which use timber other than carpenters) back in 1959 this was one of the projects we were given to produce - Wooden pattern of the body from jelutong - then went into the foundry to mould and cast it in brass. Then it was cleaned up (fettled) and the fittings made. Still have it - never used, but still a talking point for those which are interested.
Stanley should be reintroducing this little tool as a promotional gimmick. I would buy the brass repop in a heartbeat.
I'd like to see you make a wooden ruler with brass edges for this interesting tool.
I have the Garret Wade version and like it a lot. Useful for so many things.
pulling out the brass fittings out of my dad's old Stanley rulers now makes me uneasy... kids!
Thank you for including these older ingenious tools. Tools invented by craftsmen for craftsmen and I don't mean Sears.
Fascinating little tool. Stanley should reissue them.
Very cool! Thanks for showing this. I found that woodpecker also makes a reproduction.
Garrett Wade makes the Odd Job now. They also sell the ruler separately. You might want to check them out.
This legendary layout tool has been reborn. Made by Stanley from 1888 this tool is as useful today as it was then. You can be sure that if you pull it out now, you'll be the talk of the workshop. Made from solid brass and steel, the Odd Job is precision machined on all faces. This tool is truly multifunctional and combines the functions of an inside mitre and try square, scribing tool, T-square, a depth gauge, depth marking scribe, and a plumb level.
It is supplied as standard with a 6" wooden brass edged rule which is graduated in metric and imperial. For the woodworker who thought he had everything. Dakota Part No DK1026
Love the old tools and the thought that went into them. Thanks for sharing!
Still available in England
Along with my Stanley fold-up chisel this would be a must-have devise for any toolbox.
That is a really nifty tool. I'd bet those sold really well, when they came out.
Welcome to the Wranglerstar museum of antique hand tools.
That's really cool. Never heard of it before. Thanks for sharing.
Cool little tool! MIGardener is a great channel I watch his stuff all the time. He has a great energy about him.
I have a brass reproduction that I bought at Harbor Freight for $9.99. It has a 12", brass edged ruler... Love it....
Cody, Love to ear about the older, more obscure tools. Thanks!
You can still buy this in the UK from a few sources and on Amazon.co.uk for approx. £32.50
It looks like a precursor to a combination square. I like learning about the old tools. If I had seen one of these in the past, I would not have known its function.
Simple but very versatile tool! Nice video, thank you for sharing 👍👍👍
Now that's an awesome tool! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing that ace little gadget, Time to order one for the forge (might need a brass rule tho)
You're lucky to have one as complete as it is. I'm seeing "vintage" Odd Jobs online that are missing not just the ruler but screws and scribe also... and they're asking a lot for them.
It used to be said that a man with a saw, hammer and an odd job could build anything. Really useful little tool, in the UK Axminster Tools used to sell the rulers separately until very recently.
that is a neat tool. you seem to get so many neat little specialized tools, what do you do when you get duplicates?
I got a new one from Rockler a few years back but it seems to be discontinued. Perhaps you can find one of those with a ruler on it.
Garrett Wade makes them the 12" is just under fifty bucks and looks like a million with all the brass. You can order just the ruler for your Stanley even an 18" brass edged for 12" measurements! Thanks for bringing the #1 to light again I have been working with the one my Grandfather used for years they shouldn't have stopped making them so handy and compact.
If I recall correctly t was one of Stanley's folding rulers that came with it. The hole at the hinge in the ruler served as the point to insert the scribe when doing a radius
I saw that a bunch of people mentioned Garrett Wade tools makes them so I checked tbeir website out, turns out they sell replacement rules too that might be a good option to bring this beauty back into its original service condition.
Ive recently just found your channel. Great stuff!
I have a new version of this that I bought from Garrett, it's come in handy a few times.
Hi Cody,
Garretwade sells just the brass/wood rule for their reproductions. They are ~$13.
That tool needs to come back, I'm a machinist and that would come in handy for me at work !
Swear I can across one of these in my grandpas workbench after he died. Not knowing what it was. Definitely going to go see if I can find it again.
Love the Odd Job! Thanks for sharing!
The less expensive Stanley No. 1.
Correct! "For all intents and purposes". You get the gold star today Cody - I hear this saying misused more often than I hear it used correctly!
Now that's a handy thing to have around.
I find it kind of neat that even though it's obviously not the original ruler, it still fits, some things don't change for a good reason
It's a Stanley ruler, though.
A company from Ohio I think called Woodpecker or Woodpeckers made a small and large version of the “Odd Job” tool. I believe theirs was red anodized aluminum. A friend bought one when they came out probably 4-5 years ago. I’ve tinkered with it once and it seemed pretty cool. If I recall correctly it came with a rule also. I don’t remember what size he bought.
I think maybe a combination of Stanley selling a single tool that could do multiple jobs and carpenters starting to specialize in building certain parts of a building or house might have contributed as well. My grandfather traveled all over the U.S. during WW 2 as a carpenter for the Army and Army Air Corp, building barracks, operational Building, hangers, homes, etc, and he carried 2 of those in his traveling tool box. I remember seeing one of them on occasion. They built the entire house, masonry, framing, windows, roofing and all the finish trim and plaster themselves . I think the only thing the carpenters didn’t do was plumbing and electric but they one of each on their crew....
That's very cool, I have to try to find one, thank you for sharing! !!
you could find a vintage steel or brass ruler to put in that little tool, very nifty item
These odd job tools can be gotten through Rockler and replacement rules come in 6 and 12 inch sizes.
The Garret Wade company makes a new copy of it.
Yes they do. www.garrettwade.com/historic-odd-job-gp.html
www.garrettwade.com/historic-odd-job-gp.html
They actually make 2 sizes.
and rulers for it to
Chuck Small 45 w/12in. ruler
I'm thinking that the "screwdriver" part of the scribe could be (also) used for scribing similarly to how you showed using the point. And the point could be used, when set at a certain distance, to mark hole locations for drilling.
I have one. They are being made again. They are very handy. You can do just about anything. Great tool.
That is a very handy tool. I would not mind owning one of those. I would not have been able to see what it can do until you showed me. Was that painted gold at one time?
Very cool tool...I'll take 3 please!
Woodpeckers made one recently as part of their "One Time Tool" line.
Cool old tool!! I've got an extra Stanley combo square ruler, if it would help...
never seen one before , but I'll be looking now. thanks
It is also a plum bob... the original ruler was slightly longer than 12", with a hole for a pencil at the end for the circles or arc. The ruler hole would also be used for the plumb bob feature.
that is just a combination square, a really cool one too.
It's currently unavailable at Amazon, but with the title Garrett Wade Odd-Job (W/6 In. Rule) it can be found with the ruler that it come with.
'For all intensive purposes' is the phrase you were trying to say
Meme Master lol. Jk right?
I have an older one... because it says on it, Stanley 1, I believe it may have been Stanley's first tool. Mine says 1887 on it. On the ruler, Stanley made many folding rulers, most will fit this tool. As I search rulers on the internet, I began to realize, Stanley had a wooden ruler for each trade, and until the 1940s, folks knew your trade by the folding ruler in your pocket. The rulers are really cheap at flee markets. Stanley had a 6", 12", folding 12", 2' folding, all would fit this tool.
I am going to start looking for one of these.
Very cool I've seen a lot of different things from Stanley but I think this would be the most odd
If you look at the Garrett Wade link that others have have already posted, you will see that they sell just the brass edged rule in 18 inch. Pretty reasonable price for it. Might be worth considering, as it would be a very long shot at finding an original.
Woodpecker's made a pair of Odd-Jobs for their OneTime Tool offering - a large one and a small one. I think it was last year. Expensive (of course, being a Woodpecker's tool), but very nice. Very, very nice.
A spirit level comes from the idea of alcohol being in the tube so as not to freeze up in cold weather .
Neat little tool! thanks for sharing with us.
What a handy tool, thanks for sharing.
Randall Peltzer must have started his career at Stanley. At least this invention works as intended.
Such a cool relic from the past! Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work Mr. Wranglerstar!
Re your beam drill; If you can find an old fashioned machinist who knows friction welding, he can extend the shanks on either of your drill bits to whatever length you like.
I got one of these for Christmas when I was 6 and am so glad to finally find out what to do with it.
Amazing some of the things they came up with. To do so much and fit in your pocket... Cool!
Hey, I need one of those...I'm looking it up now...thanks
Garrett Wade makes a reproduction. Cool tool
You sir are "out of order" ....... The Garrett Wade nefangled gizmo is calibrated in metric and as such should be banned from this august channel ;O)
Just flip the rule over for real measurements! :-)
Exactly so! I use mine on a regular basis with real measurements and it is a joy to use. I have both rulers for it but often leave the 6" one in as it makes the tool handier and I rarely need the larger reach of the 12"
Thankyou Frank Orts ,you win the gold star for getting it correct ....It is a RULE , not a RULER people !!
