I never really looked into why they called them "One Time" tools. So it's their branding of a "limited" production run. I thought it was supposed to be some kind of tool to help solve a somewhat more complex issue and make it fairly simple, although between the branding and the few tools I've looked at with the naming now it makes much more sense what you're saying.

Yeah, I don't know all of their history with OneTime tools, so I could be wrong. In the short time that I have been following Woodpeckers, it just seems to me that this is what they are doing. I mean every company has sales which are meant to trigger the brain to participate to avoid FOMO (fear of missing out). Woodpeckers takes these typical sales one step further by shelving these tools in between sales. I am sure there are beneficial reasons why they do this too, e.g. they don't have to store inventory, etc.
