Ratings & Reviews for Johnson Level Steel Carpenter square

Not Durable

Pulled it out of my tool bag one day to find the digits and markings were smearing.

Sticker Destroys the Square

Attempted sticker removal results in a sticky mess on the square. Hot water doesn't touch the adhesive. As a last resort tried goo-be-gone. Unsurprisingly it removed the paint. Adhesive was still there though!

This is metal, so durable.

This is a handy little square that has worked well in our amateur home projects; not too big but big enough to help with right angles and straight lines. It's a keeper!

Label Issue

I understand the need to prevent theft by making product labels secure in order to prevent someone from taking it off and walking out of the store but when the label is the cause off measurements being distorted it is going to far. It won't be long until the numbers themselves wear off.

Sturdy and easy to read

The colorings make.it easy to read the making. It is sturdy and works great for me to square up cut and prepared glass pieces. I had no issue getting the label off.

Label came off easy

I bought this item yesterday and had no problem removing the label. It peeled right off and did not have any affect on the markings underneath. Maybe they switched to a less powerful adhesive.

Works perfect

Good ruler, it has a perfect angle to get the perfect measurement

Nice bright color

The manufacturer’s label was hard to remove without some goof off, which cause the numbers to rub off

Store Label is Nigh Unremovable & Destroys Square

The store sticker / product label is affixed to one side of this square, and it is extremely difficult to remove. It took me 20 minutes to scrape it off with my fingernails. A plastic paint scraper was not effective, and metal scrapers would also scrape the painted numbers of the square, thus making them also uneffective at removing the label. When the label itself is finally removed, a sticky wonder-glue is left behind which blurs the painted markings of the square if one attempts to rub the gl...

The perfect square

This square is so much easier to read than my old one. And it has a hole at the balance point, for hanging.

Works as intenged

I was able to make a light across multiple 2x4 to make work much easier and quicker

Unusable

Instead of affixing the product label to the plastic wrapping, they glue it to the square itself, covering half of one side. The glue is apparently designed to last until end times. It took 15 minutes to get the label off. I finally had to resort to Goo-B-Gone to remove the glue, but it also removed the paint, so now all the numbers are gone on one side. Don't waste your time with this product.

Quality measurements

This ruler is good to go. It’s a quality piece of equipment that will help you measure your cuts.

Small square

I have a larger square but needed a small one for tighter spaces. This is great.
