VINCA Carpenter Framing L Shape Square, SCLS-1208BK 8 inch x 12 inch, Steel Black Finished

This Vinca 8 in. x 12 in. Steel Framing Square is one tough square. The square is steel which has some weight to stay in place and not shift. The markings are stamped and protected with an epoxy finish to protect from rust. The coating leaves a shiny smooth covering which reflects light and blackening the marks would have helped visibility. I use it mostly as a guide for setting cuts so the stamped markings are not as important for me, but the numbers are large and can be read just fine in good lighting. What I need in a square is true alignment and in this regard, my Vinca square is solidly accurate. Its a good standard framing square at a great price.

Very well priced so I had my doubts but this is a great item priced low. I have been using it in the heat in Texas, getting rained on and left out. It has held up well and very much worth much more than I paid. It is thick and sturdy like you want. The numbers and marks are inset to it - well made like old fashioned ones costing much more.

Well machined, light for size, accurate markings, and the dimples for cross markings are such a good feature! Why doesn’t the smaller one have it? I used this to frame my deck and I gotta say it was such a time saver.

Product was as described by the sell, arrived in a timely manner and is well designed. I would certainly use this seller again.

I really like this 8x12" framing square. Good contrasting colors, and easy to read. Fair price. HOWEVER, the hanging hole is not aligned with the center of gravity, so it hung crooked. No self-respecting woodworker would allow this on his pegboard wall. The hole provided is off by about 1/2". I added a bit larger hole, in the right place, and now it hangs vertically. I'm a retired Engineer. this type of design flaw, really bugs me. Nice product otherwise.

I purchased this particulate L frame steel square to photograph with large rubber stamps I sell. It helps buyers clearly see the actual size of the rubber stamp. This is easy to read without glasses.

Biggest heel ( or whatever you call it) I have ever seen on a square , never slips or rides up on the wood. DIYer

⮕ Heavy, but my needs require more weight⮕ Was easy to clean⮕ Slides around on a desk⮕ Very smooth

I don't need all the rafter scales and similar info on a framing square, just measurements and this does it well. Easy to read white on black, clear markings, straight and square when I got it.
