I like steel. It’s tough and cheap. It makes life better. But I don’t like steel framing squares. They rust and rust doesn’t make life better. I like aluminum far more. In 5 years you’ll be glad you bought an aluminum square instead.
I’ve used the aluminum square for the same reason as other reviews. I was a rough carpenter, finish carpenter, cabinetmaker for a long time. Just getting into furniture making. I was trying to square up a new combination miter saw and couldn’t get it quite square to the fence. I even used brass shims and couldn’t get better than .06″.
Finally, I took the square and drew a line across a piece of 16″ ply. Then I flipped it and tried to draw over the same line. What I found was, the ends of the square, after years of drawing lines and using as a straight edge and cutting guide had worn off and were slightly rounded. Still, after 15 years of good service, I am ordering another today.
Quality product for a fair price, made in the USA with global materials
Easy to read, very light. Only concern I have is durability. My old craftsman metal square is kind of rusted, but you really could step on it and it wouldn’t bend. I just can’t read the numbers anymore (rusted up too badly).
Not much you can say about a carpenters square other than it does the intended job, arrived promptly and in good condition as described
