I've used a plastic one for years, no issue. Bought a metal one for my dad, it has literal cuts in it. Use it properly and it'll last just fine.

You're kidding, right? I've owned this exact square for about 15 years now and it's been abused to hell and it still looks new and is square.

Ron Swanson doesn't use a speed square, except as a haircut guide.

Are you speaking from experience or just being snarky because its plastic? I've had one a few years I throw in my tool backpack and it's been great. I have a metal one for large jobs but I don't want to weight of carrying that everyday.

It's not just plastic, its constructed of lightweight high-impact structural foam plastic. That's why they call it "composite". 😂. Seriously though, save your money and get this https://smartsquaretools.com/
Aint no way I'm paying that for DIY. $3-5 at HF and its been fine for roofing, decks, patio cover, fences, and general cross cutting use. Short of losing it i haven't had any issues. $90 for a triangle is ridic.

Just a FYI, not for or against this deal (a good price if you just need to come close to square). I have one and didn't check it for square with my woodpecker squares (which are dead on balls accurate). Had to redo job for lack of square. I use it on shingling, rough building, layouts...ect. Just a FYI.

Lmfao - This comment is precisely why I love the internet. "Don't spend $4 on a square. Save your money and get one of these $200 squares." Like if you're spending $200 on a square, $4 actually matters.

One of those "think of how dumb the average person is… then realize 50% of the population is dumber than that" moments.

Was trying to be sarcastic . Thought the crying laughing emoji was enough. I'll work on my comedy.
