Customer Reviews

much better than steel
I like steel. It's tough and cheap. It makes life better. But I don't like steel framing squares. They rust and rust doesn't make life better. I like aluminum far more. In 5 years you'll be glad you bought an aluminum square instead.

Test your all your squares
It is all you would expect a square to be. When you get any square, lay it up against the edge of a countertop and strike a line, then flip it over so the leg is pointing the other way and strike another line next to the first line. are they EXACTLY the same/parallel??? If not it's not square....!

After fifteen years of abuse I'm ready for another
I've used the aluminum square for the same reason as other reviews. I was a rough carpenter, finish carpenter, cabinetmaker for a long time. Just getting into furniture making. I was trying to square up a new combination miter saw and couldn't get it quite square to the fence. I even used brass shims and couldn't get better than .06".
Finally, I took the square and drew a line across a piece of 16" ply. Then I flipped it and tried to draw over the same line. What I found was, the ends of the square, after years of drawing lines and using as a straight edge and cutting guide had worn off and were slightly rounded. Still, after 15 years of good service, I am ordering another today.
