Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Customers have mixed opinions about the squareness of the ruler. Some mention it's a nice square, while others say it's not square at all, the flat edge at the 90-degree angle is not square, and the coating is thick and uneven.

So far these speed squares have been just as expected and at the price point you can't beat them. My single call out is that while one of the two items is perfect the second has a number of burrs on one side and pock marks on another. The burrs are easy enough to remove with a metal file. It would be nice to not have to remove said burrs before using the angle. This is the only reason I've reduced the product review by a star.
This package looked like it sat on a shelf in a Chinese warehouse for the last 20 years, then was run over by a forklift before being shipped to me. But the price is right. Steel squares are better. A few minutes with a file should make these OK as spares.
Numbers embossed on these are a little clunky, not very precise, but adequate to get the job done. I’m a draftsman and like really, really precise markings, these will pass muster on most jobs.
Pack of 2 rafter squares. One was nearly perfect. The other had irregular edges. I filed the edges, so the square is usable. I am not excited about these are they are thin and liable to bend if one is not careful. But then again plastic one break. I gave 3 stars because of the rough edges and the thin body.
