Customer Reviews for Johnson 8 in. x 12 in. Easy-Read Steel Carpenter Square

The very first time I went to use this, the distance markings smeared right off with nothing more than regular handling. Very disappointed.

It was exactly what I wanted and expected to receive. It arrived at my Home Depot when they said it would, pick up couldn't have been any easier. The increments are stamped into the metal not just painted on. This item will be used in laying out and cutting leather for various small projects and production. Also very useful for creating accurate templates.

Did what it is meant to do at a reasonable price

This is the second Johnson product I have had to return due to manufacturing flaws. Both were ordered online. The first was a seven inch plastic square. The second was this square. The quality control seems to be lacking based on my recent experience because the flaws were clearly visible. In the first case, I replaced the plastic square with a set of two Empire squares (from HD) which were flawless. I returned the steel square and purchased a replacement at HF. I have used Johnson products for years but, in the future, I will only buy their products in person so that I can inspect them.

Easy to read, sturdy, also has the cut-out on the inside corner making it a useable marking point. I liked it so much I bought second one.

Great tool at the right price and delivered quickly. You hit all the bases.

Excellent quality, the numbers are indented into the metal therefore they will not rub off.

The square works exactly as it should, however when I received it the label sticker that was attached removed the markings underneath it, making it difficult to read that area.

High quality and thicker than my old one.

Arrived on time. Nice metal square

Nice product, except the next time I get a product that I have to spend a miserable 30 minutes peeling the label off.............It going back. I'm sick of this....

Great little square, has a lot of uses. Insures manual cuts with handsaw or circular are 90 degrees. Great 90 degree alignment for cross members. Nicest feature is it is compact design to fit in tight places and not like the large bulky squares that can be cumbersome.

I love this thing. Makes everything easier! Durable and easy to read

An overall excellent product. Low priced with quality steel construction and the easy to read measurement scales.

Excellent tool to square up table saw and miter saw blades.
