Irwin Tools 1794448 16-Inch X 24-Inch Aluminum Framing Square

This is a really good framing square that's made out of aluminum. That makes it lighter than steel, but it is also softer metal and bendable. I have one of each, steel and aluminum, depends on the job.

The tool is great! The measurements on it are not black. They appear black on the listing and since I have a hard time reading without glasses I thought it was perfect. I almost returned it when it arrived and noticed the measurements were just engraved in the silver tool, but because the quality is so good, and my wife insisted, I kept it.

I just checked to see if this new square was square. I used a smaller, but similar square. Either this new one or my smaller old one is not square on either edge. It could be my old small one or the new big one. But whichever edge is out of square, its not by much.

I purchased the Irwin 16-inch x 24-inch aluminum framing square for some home and woodworking projects, and it has worked out really well. The build quality feels strong and durable, and the aluminum is lightweight but sturdy enough for regular use. The markings are clear and easy to read, which makes measuring and layout work much faster and more accurate. It sits flat and true, which is important for framing and square checks. Overall, this is a reliable, well-made tool that does exactly what it’s supposed to do. A great addition to any toolbox, whether you’re a DIYer or doing more serious projects.

very good accurate tool for the price you'll really like it

Great square with all the appropriate features. Accurate and etched measures won't rub off like painted ones. Will last a lifetime with reasonable care.

Easy to read markings, light, and durable.

There's not too much to review on a framing square, it arrived in good condition and straight, it is made of aluminum which I like much better than plastic, and the measurements are easily legible.

Multiple measurements

Arrived in perfect condition.

Edges are rough. Can hurt and drawing a line is not comfortable. Finish should have been much better.
