Kapro 307-08-TMS Try And Mitre Layout And Marking Square With Stainless Steel Blade, 8-Inch Length Review

The square is close to 90 degrees, but not spot on. I checked by taping paper to a workbench near the edge, drawing a line along the blade with the handle snugged up to the workbench, and then flipping the square to the opposite side and checking the edge against the pencil line. It was off by just a little bit--close enough for layout work, not close enough to square a table saw blade to a fence or a jointer fence to jointer tables. Probably as square as you can expect for the price.

I have several levels and scribing devices as well as many rulers and straightedges. This fills a very nice niche as it has a unique design with the inner ledge that sits on the thing you are trying to mark or measure and makes it very easy to use and hold in place.I was worried about the plastic part, and whether it would be a FIRM, SOLID connection, because if there is ANY flex, then the numbers go whack very fast. SO FAR it is solid and firm and it not only has the obvious 90 degree square…

Tried my luck with this product but first item was clearly bent as per my picture. Gave it a second attempt and second one was not square on the inside of the try square. It was not a huge degree of error but noticeable when checking w a speed square and not sure how I would have tried to fix it given the makeup of this try square. Suspect if I kept returning and reordering I could eventually get one that is reasonable square and straight, but I will have to look elsewhere and probably spend a…

Well made and extremely durable. Useful for marking off angles. Useful, no computer or batteries needed just knowledge and a pencil and you're good to go. I checked it for square with two t-squares and it's true and as close to perfect as you can get.

If you do any type of wood work, then you will find this handy. It has angles etched in, and the square is true and 90 degrees. You can rest it on the corner of the board for exact measurements, and mark for angles. The plastic is nice and thick and bright red. My measurements were accurate, and the markings were etched into the metal. I can see it rubbing off if you abuse it and throw it around other metal tools but nothing should rub off otherwise. It's a well priced handy tool and great to…

I do a fair amount of home handyman DIY stuff and have a several other squares and combination squares, but did not have a try square of this size. I wasn't sure if I'd like the red plastic but it's plenty sturdy and the red color makes it much easier to spot in the shop. I haven't used the angle calculators but that would definitely be handy if I were doing something like rough framing. Blade appears to be stainless but is also magnetic.

It's easy to read but inaccurate. Not one side matches any other. Unfortunately you do get what you pay for. Carpentry Squares.

I have a 24 inch steel square that I believe was once owned by my great-great grandfather. OK, maybe not but it's really old and it's difficult to read and, in many cases, too big.This is a pretty nice 12 inch square that has what I thought were a few useful features at first. Yes, there are holes in one side to you can make a mark with a pencil. But, you'd better be using a sharp pencil to fit in the holes. And, there are a number of markings to help you mark angles for example. But, all of…

I find it astonishing how much inaccurate information has been posted in reviews and answers to questions on this product.1) It DOES have measurements in both inches and centimeters (even though the manufacturer said NO in reply to a question)2) It DOES have accurate markings on the scales - hardly surprising since the markings are stamped in steel.3) The markings do NOT come off - how can they when they are stamped in steel.All in all, this is quite a nice square and the scales and angles are…

I don't know why this square is not exactly eight inches, It is about a quarter inch more, which makes it very difficult to use as a measuring tool. say you wanted to measure the blade on the table saw from fence, it become very difficult because of that extra quarter inch.

I have several squares in my tool bag, but this one is a little different from the others. The short leg is a polymer material that is appealing because of the way it will sit on the board or piece you are measuring. It has a ledge to let it sit in the correct position and is kind of rounded to also make it easier to handle. This is shown as stainless steel, which is always a plus, as I have several old squares that have started to rust. I read someone's comment that their square arrived with…

This is a mitre square; If you need one, you know what it is and why you need it. Function dictates form, and this is an elegant, functional design. The price is extremely reasonable for the product, and I have nothing negative to say about quality. In fact, quite the opposite. I will now tell you a short story and then explain why I think this is a 5-star product.When I was a wee lad, several decades ago, I received a set of letter-shaped blocks constructed of plastic. I thought nothing of…

This appears to be a well made tool. I know it is inexpensive but the ruler is very thin. Not sure how long before it bends but at this price I feel it is worth recommending.Update: I have been using this square the last few days and do not like the markings. One side is imperial and metric while the other is all metric. Would prefer all metric on one side and imperial on the other.

I checked this against some of my very expensive squares, and it was dead on, impressive considering the price.for construction, or light woodworking, this square is excellent.and if u ruin it, or gets stolen from your truck, at this price point, you don't sweat it.Kapro is making some nice products at very competitive price points.

This square is OK. The measurements are painted on and won't last very long, they need to be scored. It works fine here in my house but I won't be using it out in the shop or garage.

I completely recommend the 12-Inch Kapro Legend Square. The handle is genius. It has an edge that allows it to sit in place hands free while marking. A line of holes, pencil notches, make it easy to double check that placement is true. The measurements are etched into the metal, as are dashed lines that mark angle degrees. The square I received doesn’t resemble those that other reviewers have described as having painted on markings are incorrect measurements. There’s nothing that I found that I

The one I got is out of square by 1/2 a degree or more, which is unacceptable for cabinet making but may be suitable for rough carpentry. The little tab that rests on the face of whatever you're marking is a nice feature. Some squares can be adjusted but I think because this one uses plastic molded around the short leg that isn't feasible.

I was pretty excited to be offered the chance to review the Ledgend Square, but then I read the reviews about inaccurate markings and poor quality. Those issues seem to be with the steel carpenter and framing squares.The Ledgend was spot on. It is a true 90 degree square with laser etched markings for durability, Both the imperial and metric scales were accurate. I didn't have my machinist square to check, but I would say it is dead accurate.The red support ledge makes it easy to square things…
