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

You know how some tools just "feel right” in your hand? From the moment you pick up this tool, you will be happy you ordered it. It is solidly made, VERY accurate, and features obvious attention to detail in it’s finishing. The edges are "dead on” in terms of straight and well finished lines that make accurate marking a breeze. I love the little "fold out” leveler tab on the angle that allows you to easily fold it out whenever you want to pull a straight, parallel line from the reference edge…

Its solid feeling and so far accurate. Hopefully I wont drop it anytime soon.It was delivered loose in a big box so was a little worried. Delivery btw was super fast - 5 days earlier than expected.The extras - slide and marking holes are useful too for me.Its more $ than most squares but much cheaper than a woodpecker which has similar features.I think it's definitely worth it as long as it stays square!

It's supposed to be "square", well because it's a square, but it is not square; it's out of square probably .040" per foot, which is terrible.I won't be surprised if the manufacturer comes back with some excuse like "For this price, you cannot buy a precision square." But it's not even close to being a useful tool.look at the photos and see how the lines diverge in just 7", that gap is close to .040, so take that out to 12" and divide by 2, and the gap will be around .04 out.I should have paid…

The first one I received was damage and missing label which I returned right away. This one is as described 👍 The square may require frequent sharpening to maintain accuracy.

Overall good product and decent value. No major issues. The ruler is a bit flimsy, already bent a little when it got pinched between boards. The marking holes are too oversized for regular pencils and even carpenters pencils which leads to less accuracy when marking lines. I recommend spending a little more on a better product as I use this in woodworking more than any other square.

I believe product was a return or used. Has numerous scratches through out tool some deep enough to feel with your fingernails. Nice product but needs better quality control before shipping as a new or unused tool.

This square is everything I expected it to be. Very well built and accurate. I have checked it with engineering squares and found it to be right on at 90 degrees. It is nice to have a tool that you can depend on to be right on the mark every time!

I like this tri square. The little clip on the handle to sit on the wood is a nice feature. I also like the holes at convenient distances to mark wood. It has angles marked on it but I don't see how you can use them.

As per the title, I would not waste my money on this tool. Since the whole purpose of this device is to measure and draw lines accurately, it’s almost worthless

I picked this up to replace a Swanson version that was beat up. I'm a framing and exterior trim/siding carpenterThe good: it's well made and the ledge support is great.The bad. Both the handle and the blade measure 1-9/16" which is strange. The Swanson are 1-1/2" which works great for laying out plates / marking intersections and marking both sides of a stud/ rafter without having to move the square twice.Also being 1-9/16 wide the numbers on either side are 1-9/16" off. With the Swanson if the

I bought a ten dollar square the other day, it wasn’t exactly "square”…Retuned it and bought this twenty dollar square and it is dead on!The little flip out ledge support looked like a bit of a gimmick till I used it the first time, now I think it’s a "must have” for all squares.My only knock on this is the etched graduations on the ruler, they are flat, not notched into the metal, but then again, it’s only twenty dollars!Five outa five stars.

This square has many different functions. Not only is it a 90 degree angle, it has a retractable metal ledge support, etchings and/or holes for different gradations and degrees for beveling and framing. This square does it all!

Nice appearance, but very disappointing in accuracy. As you see my cheap plastic square I've used for years appears to be more accurate than this "CERTIFIED" accuracy. It also does not match with my Empire Tri square

It’s not 90 degrees. I checked it against my other measuring tools and it’s close but quite. It will work if you are making rough cuts but for precision I wouldn’t recommend.

Very please with function of the square. I'm using it to layout lines on boards. Cuts down on marking a line on each side and connection them. Now i can put a pencil in the measurement i want and pull the square down the board and a straight line. The ledge support is a great add to the square.

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”…

The outside edge is square. As many have pointed out, the inside edge is NOT SQUARE. If I wanted an inaccurate tool, I would have picked something up from Home Depot.

I bought 1 at a store, a little Pricey, but I thought 4 sure it would b like a MICROJIG, with Perfect Accuracy, and yet like other Reviewers hav found it is off. U can go 2 Sears, depot name brand and find 1 that is 100% on 4 maybe $15 or less. I own several, and since 1985 hav worked well 4me. Kapro Co told a buyer that it MAY B OFF SOME, B/C THEY R NOT COMPETING W HIGH PRICE 1's. So ur saying u sell a Defective Product at a Lower Cost. The Old timers that Wookwork, know How 2 Square up a…

For the money spent, this is a great square that is as useful as it is affordable. I don't have unlimited funds to purchase high end tools, and it is good to know that I don't have to pend $100 to obtain the high degree of accuracy that this square has. Money well spent!

Accurate and easy to use, especially with the pin that allow you to keep it flat on the surface. The holes every 1/4" it's an added bonus.
