5.0 out of 5 stars A basic tool for every toolbox, June 26, 2000

This is a solid and nicely weighted square. The markings are impressed into the metal and should always remain visible. This is a handy tool just for marking quick cross cuts. It also comes with an instruction manual explaining how to use the tool for measuring angles.

I got this as a combo with a tool tote. Never owned one and never would have thought of buying one. I was very impressed with the instruction manual that comes with this tool. It has very complete instructions on how to lay-out rafters, stairs or angled supports (like attaching solar panels to a roof). These are jobs that I previously would have laboured hours doing the layout or (more often) having someone else do them. Well worth the price! I can do stairs now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best quality small rafter square, January 11, 2006

The quality of this small rafter square is outstanding. No rough casting ridges, well designed, markings clear, beautiful finish, "beefer" metal than other squares I've seen. No issues! The accompanying book is useful for explaining the concepts for tool uses. If you're beyond a tool assortment of a 16 oz hammer, a couple of screwdrivers, a pair of pliers, and a 12 ft tape measure, you will find one of these a handy tool to have. Highly recommended.
