Review on Kapro - 353 Professional Ledge-It Try & Mitre Square - For Leveling And Measuring - Features Stainless Steel Blade, Retractable Ledge, And Etched Ruler Markings - 12 Inch by Sam Thorpe

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Poor quality control.

I bought two of these and the accuracy of the engraved measurement lines on the blade were off by more than 1/32” because the blades were carelessly inserted into the beam. Nonetheless the square was accurate as a square, although the engraved measurements lines were useless. The metal edges of the blade were extremely sharp which made the square uncomfortable to handle, however you can ease the edges yourself to give it a better hand feel. The best feature of the square is the "Ledge-it”, which is the only reason to buy this square anyway. I liked that feature. Also, it’s light and easy to use. I kept one and returned the other which had the most-inaccurate measurement lines of the two, though I briefly considered returning both due to the lack of quality control. Perhaps these were only part of a bad batch, which could happen with any manufacturing process, though I view the purchase experience in the overall as disappointing.

Pros
  • ADJUSTABLE - The Kapro 353 Professional Ledge-It Try & Mitre Square features retractable ledge support for easy, hands-free use.
Cons
  • The square may be difficult to clean
