STHT46011 12-Inch QuickSquare Dual Color Square

I saw my son-in-law using a similar smaller tool to do 'quick and dirty' battery circular saw timber cutting, so I checked my local hardware shop and found the Stanley Dual Colour Square. I rip up old free pallets to make various items around the house and up to now I have used a lot of time measuring and clamping wood guides, found the saw hits the clamps, dismantle and re-position, go off true and get annoyed. The Stanley square has a nice thick guide edge for the circular saw and requires only one 30mm measurement to position the sawcut perfectly. I wish I'd found this tool YEARS ago.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a bit concerned it would chip or break since its plastic, but so far so good. Does all you can ask from a square and works great as a saw guide too. If youre in the market for a square buy this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The size is perfect for our shed building projects. Had to build 2 sheds this spring and this item arrived just in time and made some of the measurements a whole lot easier. Its bigger size allowed for some better angles on what were trying to do in our custom building.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great in between from a framing square and speed square. I have used it with 2x10s and 2x12s, layouts for openings, I like that its bright, easy to see hard to lose. I would rather store this compared to framing square, they alsays get bent some how, this square seems to fit easier in tool box, bucket, crate...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Stanley dual coloured Quick square is awesome. It is very accurate on your measurements, very durable, and maintains a straight line when measuring and very easy to carry. I wish I could find a carrying case for it. It's a must have for my tool box

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great quality. I was a first hesitant about it being plastic. Thats what I really like the most. It doesn't scratch things or leave marks like aluminum does. All the numbers and markings being molded plastic insurers that they won't wear off either.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is big. Great for squaring up large areas, ripping large boards. Not so great for carrying around the job site. I'd also like to try to drop one from a height to see if the plastic can hold up. The markings are crystal clear.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the fact that the markings are all molded in and not just printed on the surface and that they are definitely contrasting colors! I was even surprised that the accuracy was spot on when I did a flip test to check the square's accuracy. I also like the heft meaning it will stay in place, and all the clearly marked cues for using the different functions of the square - it was also a full 12" which makes marking any framing materials a piece of cake.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 12" Stanley square made of ABS plastic was totally fine. On the plus side, it is lighter weight and was square. The notches were easy to use and it worked fine for all of the things you expect out of a 12" square. My only complaint is that I prefer aluminum instead of the plastic. I found that after only a few uses I was seeing more damage on the square than previous, aluminum squares I have used. I was even damaging it in my home shop, so I would imagine it wouldn't hold up as well on a job site, especially if the plastic was regularly exposed to sunlight and cold and became brittle over time.

The good is its heavy, tuff, easy to read. The bad, at least the one I received, is badly warped and not truly square. Not square by 1/16" and warped by over I/8". For a Stanley product, and one that is sold as a "SQUARE", this is unacceptable!
