What Customers Are Saying
The product received mixed reviews. Some found it useful for basic DIY tasks, appreciating its versatility and affordability. However, many were disappointed with the poor quality, lack of accuracy, and issues with the adjustment mechanisms and plastic construction. The square was reported to not be truly 90 degrees, causing problems with projects. While it may work for simple home improvement projects, it is not recommended for professional or precision work due to its lack of reliability and durability.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.good for the money
Good square for the money. Easy to use and light weight. Good for any hobbiest or DIY’er.
it does not measures 90 degree angle
it does not measures to be 90degree right angle, and it was returned.
Poor performance
Broke in the first day of use. The black knob became stripped because the plastic couldn't handle the metal turning. Design should be rethought because this was not a good purchase. Don't waste your money on this!
one use and could not tighten screw again. Plastic just stripped out
Not worth the bargain
I bought this to use as a T-bevel for my kitchen renovation, measuring the angles for shelves in my pantry. Got to use it twice before the tightening nut bound up on the screw threads and the bolt head chewed through the flimsy plastic and made this tool completely inoperable. If you're looking for something to use, spend a little extra money for better quality.
Not so square square
In the closed position, this square is NOT square.

Cool idea, but the square isn't square
I really liked the idea of this tool, but as I used it, I noticed that the lines were a little off, so I compared it to some truly square edges and corners, and a friend's square... sure enough, it isn't square! Maybe I got a defective one, but I'll be sticking with my standard metal square from here on out. Make sure yours is true before leaving the store I guess!

2 in 1
I liked the additional "Folding" arm that allows for duplicating an angle, or measuring an angle, essentially at no compromise with the primary use of a speed square.
