Review on πŸ“ Accurate Measurements Made Easy: Steelex D3383 Precision Square 4 Inch by Shane Tomko

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Should it be "L "? But man, it's a square!

I watch a lot of tutorials, read a lot of manuals and device reviews. I always thought I didn't need it. I delayed ordering for months (although I don't know why, in principle I would have guessed) and finally reached into the children's college fund to finance this shiny steel accessory. When my video doorbell announced their arrival, my heart skipped a beat, I finally had the steel letter "L" called square. I couldn't get my table saw, miter saw, triangle square (also out of shape like a square) and edge square and brush off the dust fast enough. I wanted to prove that my many failed pieces of wood were caused by faulty hardware. Oops. The two squares are, as you can guess, really square. Then I decided to test my saws. Now we have some problems. After a bit of fiddling, this tiny but Herculean pattern of accuracy suggests the saw blades are slightly misaligned. I make adjustments, finish my adult cold drink, make a few more adjustments and lo and behold, square blades! Or at least blades banging against tables, fences, and more. This square, while tiny, is perfect for this purpose. It easily fits into tolerance testers and is very stable due to its weight. I made 15-20 saw cuts after leveling and now the cuts (my mistake aside) are better in every way. I would have bought...

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly
