3.0 out of 5 stars Not for accurate tiling..., March 12, 2009

This review is from: Stanley 45-013 Folding Square (Tools & Home Improvement)

I tried using the square for laying out tile. The square was set in place and a laser layed against it to project a layout line the length of the room. When I got different lines on different tries - over an 1" variation over 12' - I investigated. The problem is the hypotenuse of the triangle is in two pieces to accomodate folding. The locking mechanism allows some flex - and it doesn't take much to throw a projected line off.

I sucked it up and spent the $$$ on the Hansen. It's arms are all single pieces and they lock tightly. It doesn't fold up as small but it was dead on.

I do a lot of volunteering for Habitat and when I first pulled out this tool, they all laughed. I used it to check the interior walls .. and especially the ones in the kitchen and baths. It is just the right size for those locations and much more acurate than a framing square. The volunteers who put in the countertops worshipped at my feet when for the first time in the affiliate's history, they did not have to hack and cut the countertops to get them to fit!
Fits nicely in my Empire level case.
