What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the framing square for its bright orange color and easy-to-read black markings, with many noting superior visibility compared to duller alternatives. Reviewers consistently highlight durability and value for money, calling it a solid starter tool. However, many report a critical flaw: the large manufacturer sticker permanently damages measurement markings when removed, rendering the tool unusable. Despite this significant issue, most customers who avoid sticker removal find the square reliable and accurate for everyday marking and cutting tasks.

i wanted to buy the 0range L so that it will be easy to find. I make barn quilts so precision in measuring is a must. The numbers are easy to read and the L lays perfectly flat. It is heavy enough to stay put when drawing out my designs.
