much better than steel January 6, 2001
By Toolpig
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.

45-300 Aluminum Square January 29, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
Good light weight item. Be careful not to bend as it is not ridgid enough to withstand much pressure. Otherwise, a good tool to have in your possession.

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.

Lousy label
There's not much to judge on a device like this. It's aluminum, so it shouldn't rust. The markings are clear and legible. It is indeed square (90 degree angle). Read more
