Missing Big 12 on Carpentry Squares

I bought a combination 7" and Big 12 and I don't mind the pegboard bar. Received this afternoon, well packaged as it was .It was missing Big 12. Hey Revane can you help me I can't find a means to report the missing half of my combo pack and after double checking it says clearly that the BIG 12 is in this set I will happy to change my rating once this is fixed. I am a contractor and use these two tools all day every day and attest to their quality, durability and general usefulness for a full…

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Okay, let me just say that like many of us woodworkers, I thought a couple of cheap plastic squares would do the trick to square my boards for cutting. I decided to up my game and recently bought some really good squares from a company called PEC Tools. I did the same squares test with these squares as I did with the PEC combination squares. You know, when you draw a line on a perfectly straight board, you flip the square to draw a line with the opposite side of the square. Guess what…

Pros
  • Pleased
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

I wish I had what I ordered.

12" square, 7" square and booklet ordered twice in a row. I got the 7" square and the heft but not the 12" square either time. One mistake or one accident, twice in a row is just not acceptable. Revane, you need someone to look at your order before it's packed and shipped! The last box wasn't even big enough to pack a 12" square - come on! Love the idea of buying a US made product and the 7 inch squares looked great. I would also like to see the booklet. I guess I just have to take a trip to…

Pros
  • Highly rated by testers for hold and durability
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

I thought they were basically an extra piece of unnecessary crap but probably because they were plastic and bought from a Chinese import truck tool shop I couldn't find any crappy ones for an upcoming project, so I reluctantly withdrew from the register thinking I was going to get another crappy throwaway POS. Boy was I wrong! This set was a quality tool and the book that came with it was the best way to get started quickly. YOU MUST HAVE THIS INSTALLATION IF YOU MAKE A BUILDING! I just covered

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Poor

I decided to build myself a wooden workbench, something new for me. I'm not a carpenter but a regular person who loves to get involved in DIY projects and this will probably be the biggest thing for me right now. I've seen a lot of videos showing the use of the square of speed and how it's used to make your work nice and smooth, so I decided to get it. I picked this one because it came with two squares. big and small. After watching the video, it wasn't difficult to understand how to use it…

Pros
  • . Good product for the price
Cons
  • The list will be long.
