I think this is a great product and a must have for anyone doing woodwork or any other home project that requires 90° angles or straight lines without using a table saw. The extra length makes it very easy to use a circular saw to make precise straight cuts of around 30-36 inches as long as you make sure the piece is square at the top and bottom, but if you get to 15-18 inches you can Twist it the other way for an additional 15-18 inches.
