What Customers Are Saying
The carpenter's square is a useful and durable tool for smaller woodworking and home improvement projects. Customers praised its bright color, easy-to-read markings, and convenient size. However, some struggled to remove the product label without damaging the painted markings or leaving behind a sticky residue. The notch at the 0-inch mark also made it difficult to line up the square on flat surfaces. While a decent budget-friendly option for basic needs, the label and adhesive issues were a common complaint that detracted from the overall user experience for some.

Great
Would RecommendI already have plenty of squares but I seen these and they’re extremely legible, if you’re one of the old guys that need reading glasses like me. Worth the purchase.

Measuring marks aren't permanent on the square
Would Not RecommendBought this square. It had a large adhesive sticker affix to its surface covering up some of the useable surface. Peeling off the sticker left a sticky residue. Used "Goo off" to remove the sticky adhesive. "Goof off" removed some of the adhesive but also removed the measuring marks. Tossing out this square. Not worth the money.
looks ok.
The square looks ok. I'm no expert though. I'll be slow to buy another Johnson product however unless the sales label is a different kind. It may sound trivial but believe me it has taken me hours to get the adhesive label off. Goo Gone helps but not by a lot. The label can't stay on either if you want to use the scale markings.
Good Value
