Good enough to get the job done

This is an inexpensive square so it shouldn't be compared to something costing 20x more. That being said - the numbers are large, the sides are straight, and the square is close to 90. I use it all around the shop for non-critical jobs. When it gets trashed I'll just buy another one. The numbers are printed rather than etched so it will wear sooner. But they are bold and readable by these old eyes.

Pros
  • I wish Crescent made this in a 16 inch version.
Cons
  • The Crescent 24 Rafters Square" - L1624RS is quite heavyweight and can be a bit cumbersome to work with, especially if you're using it for an extended period of time

Great little tool in my review

Why didn't I know about this tool 20 years ago? The extension on it is so helpful. It's the perfect size. I have told a couple friends about it and now they want one also.

Pros
  • Smart tool
Cons
  • While the square is advertised as being durable and long-lasting, some users have noted that it isn't as resistant to wear and tear as they would like, leading to the need for frequent replacements or repairs

measurements are questionable

Be careful with this as the markings are not pressed or embossed into the metal. Al the markings are just that. marked. I guess it is some form of powder coat, but if it is ever chipped off, it will end up just a square

Pros
  • Tener que trazar una línea de más de 6" y poder utilizar una misma escuadra... ES UN ÉXITO!!!
Cons
  • Good tool...with multiple uses bad thing is just to heavy to carry in your tool bags all work day long

Definitely worth the purchase

For someone like me that works in the field this handy extension work great for squaring off 2x10s with having to carry a 12” square or using a 7” square and flipping it from one side to the other. Also the extension is nice and tight and doesn’t wiggle side to side making it out of square

Pros
  • Great product.
Cons
  • Don't buy! Bad and unuself .. just heavy blukky junk, period!

Great product for making perfect angled lines with extended reach.

This is a clever idea and in my case it works great. I did buy a different one that has a angle stop built into it, which I find very helpful. A much better buy than just a normal framing square.

Pros
  • Absolute awesome product will made highly recommend
Cons
  • The square's 24-inch length can be a bit cumbersome to work with in tight spaces, limiting its versatility in some scenarios
