KAPRO314 Set & Match Layout & Marking Tool, 48", 314-90-48

I initially purchased this tool after seeing a review on another site thinking this would be just the thing to aid in hanging pictures. The first thing you will notice is the quality of the tool. The aluminum ruler is sturdy, the accessories fit well and the finish shows attention to detail. The markings are engraved and easy to read and the position markers slide easily yet stay in place. The beveled edge reduces parallax which makes for more accurate alignment and marking. The flat bottom along with the weight, helps keep the ruler in place when cutting paperI found using the 314 was easy, the level vials are accurate enough over the 48" that I found I did not need a secondary level. Be cause I was hanging picture frames of identical size the fact the marker slides stayed in place between use made the job go quickly. The marks were accurate and all the picture frames were level.I can see me using this for repeated layout markings when cutting plywood or other sheet goods. The fact the ruler (without the T stop) is 51" long makes it convenient to accurately measure large peices wihtout relying on a tape measure. I suspect I will also find it handy when cutting wrapping paper in the coming months.I was also surprised to find the T stop created a pretty accurate 90 degree, which I verified using my Kapro 353 ledge-it square, which is certified. I would not necessarily rely on this for precision meaurements but this is fine for most around the house use.I recommend this tool for its designed use but I am sure you will find other uses as I have.

It's a great cheap t square for d. I. Y or home owner. Cheap plastic too bad because it's a great concept .

This thing is great - easily hang picture(s), quickly and easily figure out and mark distances between pictures & has a level built in so you know you are hanging them straight. I was looking for a traditional T Square and saw this online and realized that I could use this for so much more than originally thought. Someone put some thought into designing this and it show. My only complaint is that the metal isn't very thick and is bent easily. Flip side is that it straightens back easily too. I accidently bent mine but laid some heavy weight on it and it went back with no issues. Not recommended for construction use, but great for around the house.

First thing I noticed so far is the t-square wouldn’t fit in the whole of the ruler. Had to open up the hole. Other than that everything was fine. Only good for picture hanging. I have more of there tools in my wish list but think I’m going to a different brand now for them

Like any tool this is no different. After continuous use this Kapro unit becomes easier to handle. Nice tool, well made !
