Poor quality/manufacturing control

This is decent but poorly made. During the punching process, a large bulge remained at the end of the square, which makes the square practically unusable. This causes a deflection of 1/8 inch. Very disappointed with the quality of the final product. If it wasn't for that it would be a solid 4 star product.

Pros
  • Limited lifetime manufacturer warranty
Cons
  • High price

Looks like a square but isn't certified

I agree with Jerry FLA, it might be $3 but no more. But even for $3 I expected it to be square. but it's a bit crooked and the longer arm isn't even perfectly straight, but slightly curved. This is fine for rough construction, but not for finer carpentry work. I will use it for outdoor projects if I can't find a suitable square.

Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others

Cheap junk ruined by a huge sticker

I had a 5" x 2" sticker that completely covered one side. I tried peeling it off but it wasn't an easy sticker to remove and left a papery and sticky residue all over it. I cleaned the residue with alcohol which then scratched the surface. I would return it unless I don't need another and the hassle and travel isn't worth a refund. ten foot pole.

Pros
  • Good stuff
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Stanley 45-912 8 " x 12 " Steel Carpenter's Square

I recently bought a cheap Chinese square and it didn't even work. The numbers and markings came off when the adhesive label was removed and cleaned with Goo Gone. This Stanley is embossed and the markings will remain permanent. It was square when I received it and is a nice addition to my drawing and cutting. I'm giving it four stars and if it keeps working I'll upgrade to 5 stars.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
