Spear & Jackson CTS6 6 Inch Carpenters Try Square

I bought squares from 6 different brands before trying this one. They were all off by at least 1/16". This one is true and is inexpensive! Since then, I bought the 8", that’s accurate as well and awaiting the 6" one.They appear to be well made. The finish could be better but for that price you can’t complain! I like the brass edges on each side of the wood block.

I checked this square against some more expensive ones and it is perfectly square. I will treat it gently since I assume the construction isn't terribly sturdy but it fits my woodworking purposes well.

A very solid try square!! Heavier than I expected but that okay, it's very sturdy...What I didn't notice in the product photos was it has no inches or millimeter markings on the blade, which would have been nice but that's okay as I'll be using to check right angles on my band saw and other applications...

Nice Try Square. Very accurate.

The positive: the square is packaged well and looks good without blemishes/scratches.The negative: This square is not square. When I did an accuracy test which is simply drawing a line along one edge, flipping the square over and drawing another line (at the same point as the first) along the same edge, the lines diverged. There is a way to fix that (even though it is riveted) but one should not have to straighten the square that comes directly from the manufacturer.I emailed the manufacturer about the defect and have not heard back yet but it’s only been 12 hours. This was purchased to be used, not returned for refund/replacement.

I did not like it because it is not square I hang it on the wall for a conversation piece

The construction, fit, and finish of this try square is very atrractive and functional. However, the blade is excessively wide. The blade needs to loose about 1/2" in width (1-1/2" would be a good final width).

Found slightly less than 90 degrees Inner square only, Meaning .... it was not straight cut at the factory. Blade measured wide at the end by about 1.5 mm.

well made product

Das Werkzeug ist sauber verarbeitet macht auch einen robusten Eindruck, er ist schön handlich.

Hola, compré este producto pensando por la foto que se trataba de un gramil.. Pero no. Es una escuadra. Tiene el talón de madera bien dura y ribetes de metal; la hoja de unos 15 cm, acero, sin escala. Viene perfectamente escuadrada. Así que con sumo gusto me la quedo y aprovecho para recomendarla. Ya tengo varias cosas Spear y Jackson y estoy muy contento con la marca.

Good sturdy tool

Desafortunadamente, la unidad que recibi no está escuadrada. Tuve que gastar 3 horas con varias limas hasta de se quedara a 90 grados. Aparte ese problema, y ahora que lo he resuelto, el material parece de calidad.
