LaSquare 12” SAE Machinist Combination Square, Saddle Square, Stainless Steel Blade with 1/64", 1/32", 1/16" and 1/8" Markings, Hardened Aluminum Head LAS 12SS-12"

The large head on this thing is amazing. We're doing timber frame and welding in the field, and this is the ticket. The smaller combination squares are often too small to register on the uneven surfaces we work with. This one is great. A couple of recommendations to the maker: 1) Lower the spring tension on the lock post; 2) Make one with a larger blade. It needs to be a little wider and maybe double as thick to match the size of the head. We would buy some with 18" blades also, if they were available.Price is a little high, but it has been worth it in the end.

This is my second of these squares. They're really useful, but the nut assembly is designed to break before the square if you drop it. The LaSquare company customer service is non-existent, so ordering a replacement has been impossible for me. I advise you to treat it greater than normal care, like your precision tools.

I use this square daily doing metal fabrication and machining. It’s the perfect tool for doing layout on tubing or any material that has a radius corner. I really like the fact I can easily mark a corner accurately on two sides of a square or rectangular piece. If you’ve ever had to layout a straight cut on a 4”x4” square tubing, accurately transferring your square mark from one face to the next can be a little tricky and with this wide base you can easily make a clean accurate mark to start your next straight line. My only complaint is the blade movement is not as tight and smooth as a more expensive square like a Starrett but it’s still really nice. I’m sure to have all the tolerances as tight as a Starrett plus the extra wide base the cost to make them would be outrageous. Definitely a tool worth owning.

Seems nicely made, makes me not want to take it to work. Though the blade is bowed straight out of the box, which I find disappointing. Don’t feel like sending it back, going to try to contact the manufacturer about replacement of just the blade.

Ease of use

It is worth every peso invested in this Square, it is a very useful tool. It makes your work easier, saves you time and makes your work more precise.

I don't need to use it often but when I do I glad I have it. (Cost much less than Woodpeckers product) No red bling but a high quality product.

It need to a hardened head and the bad is worthless after a week working with steel and the net is already broke im not impressed its very handy for aware tube or anything with a radius i can see this being a really great square it just needs a bit mpre quality to be worth buying again or recommending the head its self is acually very nice and a wonderful idea but I feel like the inventor didnt put in mind that its needs to be made for work its pretty only good for a paper weight with the current designs i wouldn't even want it for wood its just not string enough
