Does what I ask of it - Reviewed on 2008-02-08

The square was true when I got it, though I have no idea whether they all would be. I also do not know if an aluminum square can be trued as a steel square can be. The square seems to stay cooler in the sun than steel. I don't know if it will be as rugged as steel, but I do know I won't be sanding off surface rust.

Not much you can say about a carpenters square other than it does the intended job, arrived promptly and in good condition as described

Easy to read, very light. Only concern I have is durability. My old craftsman metal square is kind of rusted, but you really could step on it and it wouldn't bend. I just can't read the numbers anymore (rusted up too badly).

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.
