Woodworking Square Ruler 22.5-90 Degree - Premium Carpenter's Scribing Tool with Angle Pin, Multi-Angle Measuring for Engineering & Construction

Good quality tool. Very useful

The Amazon package landed on my porch with a soft thud, a small victory after weeks of scrolling for the perfect tool. Inside was my $15.99 Woodworking Square Ruler, a sleek, multi-angle scribing tool promising precision for my carpentry projects. As a weekend woodworker crafting shelves and frames in my cluttered garage, I needed something affordable yet reliable to nail those tricky 22.5- to 90-degree angles. The ruler, with its aluminum body and angle pin, seemed like the answer.I tore open the package, admiring the ruler’s laser-etched markings, crisp and clear against the brushed metal. The angle pin, a sliding guide for quick angle sets, felt sturdy, and the compact 8-inch length fit neatly in my tool belt. Eager to test it, I grabbed a cedar plank for a picture frame I was building for my wife’s birthday. Setting the ruler to 45 degrees, I locked the pin and scribed a line. The cut, made with my miter saw, was spot-on, the corners joining seamlessly. I grinned, feeling like a pro.Next, I tackled a trickier 22.5-degree angle for a decorative shelf edge. The ruler’s precision markings made it easy to set, and the non-slip base held firm as I marked the wood. The angle pin was a game-changer, letting me transfer measurements without second-guessing. Sawdust flew as I cut, and the pieces aligned perfectly, giving the shelf a modern, geometric flair. For $15.99, this tool was punching above its weight.But it wasn’t flawless. On a complex octagon-shaped coasters project, the ruler’s small size made long lines cumbersome, requiring multiple setups. The angle pin occasionally loosened under pressure, forcing me to double-check settings. And while the aluminum was durable, I noticed faint scratches after brushing against a nail in my workbench. A quick polish fixed it, but I wished for a protective case.By evening, I’d finished the frame and shelf, both boasting clean, professional angles. I stepped back, hands dusty, admiring my work under the garage lights. The ruler had saved me time and frustration, its affordability belying its precision. Later, I used it to scribe lines for a staircase repair, its versatility shining in construction tasks beyond woodworking.For $15.99, the Woodworking Square Ruler was a steal, transforming my garage projects with its accuracy and ease. It wasn’t perfect for large-scale work, but for a hobbyist like me, it was a trusty companion. As I hung the frame, my wife’s smile confirmed it: this budget tool had helped me craft something special.Word Count: 450

Update: I found that my issue was that the allen (hex) key they sent with the item was the wrong size to fit the screws. Bumping up to 4 stars since I was able to get it assembled properly using my own allen key, and achieves acceptable accuracy. Leaving 1-star off because if you're going to ship it unassembled and include the tool for assembly--at least make it the right size.I like the overall design and it seems like it would be accurate, but the two screws to hold the side on will not tighten all the way, nor will they now unscrew, so the side leg is loose and this compromises the function. Probably will return.

I bought this because it looked cool and would impress people when they saw it on my bench. In reality it works great as well. Drawing lines and marking angles is fun with this square.

This tool is designed for 2” lumber. I didn’t pay attention when I ordered and I would prefer this same tool designed for 3/4” lumber. One right angle is attached with screws, I will check and see if a shorter leg is availableThe tool works perfectly for drawing lines. It is a good tool at a good price.All my work is small pieces as I build mostly Tiffany Lamps.

This is a very high-quality product and I’m very pleased with this purchase

Very cool tool. Never seen anything like this.The small is small and the "large" is average size.I bought both

The device itself compelled me to purchase it, once I saw it in person I knew it was just to small to be practical or useful. If it would have been several inches bigger to where it would go around a 4 x 4 or something we use in daily in wood working it would be an awesome tool.
