I bought a framing square at Walmart for just a few bucks and used it as a constant reference on an old bench I had. I laid it on the front corner and marked out its profile, then used a router bit to grind out the material until the square fit perfectly flush with the work surface and used flat head countersink screws to hold it in place. It gave me a square corner, a straight edge, and a constant 16" and 24" ruler available at all times so I didnt need to continuously retrieve my measuring tape. It was an invaluable addition to the bench

[@coreygrua3271]

“Yes! Why not?” I keep saying these words while watching RK videos. He is the best “figure outer” on KZbin. Brilliant.

[@MrMNRichardWright]

Just a follow up, I ordered one, paid the very silly low price. It actually showed up. It’s very square, dare I say as good as my large drafting square. Good value. I’ll be doing the wood inserts like Rex did

[@RexKrueger]

HEY that's great! I'm really glad it worked out for someone else!

[@wehaveasaying]

Love the outtake at the end. Thanks for finding workable tools as prices reasonable to beginners.

[@jasonbailey9139]

Love your cheap tools videos. They are what got me watching your channel.

[@RexKrueger]

I'm really glad! Whatever direction this channel takes, I don't think I'll ever stop doing videos about affordable tools.

[@rustyrebar9647]

I bought two of these 20 years ago and they have been in constant use and are still in perfect shape. Also no rough edges whatsoever.

[@RexKrueger]

That's nice to hear. I like mine a lot.

[@rustyrebar9647]

Rex Krueger The spring steel rule allows you to use it on( slightly )curved surfaces!

[@designer-garb572]

I watched this video when it was first published then a few days ago I was rummaging through my late father's old toolbox and found one of these exact same squares which puts it at least 15 years old maybe more, I tested it with a digital angle finder and it is surprisingly still pretty good, which puts this cheap square as damn good value. good video.

[@RexKrueger]

Wow, they've been around that long? Crazy. I'm glad to hear yours is still square. That does make this a good value!

[@kevinchong1]

@@RexKruegerFrom Singapore here. Yes, they have been around. However, the stock of the older ones are made of cast iron instead of aluminum. And the finishing is better.

[@magicdaveable]

Cool try square improvement.

[@daraas9421]

Rex u make great video's for beginners...i love them :) easy to watch and very useful ;)

[@Matt_The_Hugenot]

I have one of these. I got it expecting to have to true it up yet it was square on arrival. If it ever goes out of true it'll be easy enough to take a file or some wet a dry to the casting and fix it.

[@LutherBuilds]

Rex Krueger It's tough when all you see online are people using and being sponsored by Woodpeckers. It can be easy to buy into the hype that you can only do quality work with those tools. Great video!

[@RexKrueger]

Glad you like it! A few viewers have bought their own and reported back that it's accurate and functional. It'll certainly get you started.

[@ianmorgan889]

I bought a "Starrett" square from Amazon-it was about £8 and believed that I was going to get a tiny-maybe 6" long one but it turned up a few weeks later and was in fact 16" long-I must try to read the ad's through properly! Anyway, it was "Made In Brazil- not China for a change and to be honest I had zero expectations and was almost resigned to cutting off the side bit and just using it for a Rule/Straight edge but imagine my surprise when I tested it using the same method that you showed and discovered that it was absolutely bang on PERFECT! -I kept testing it but had the same result every time. Check it out: Starrett K53M-350-S still available on Amazon for around $10--$12! You will NOT be disappointed.

[@giraffewithtattoos2770]

It's gone as of April 19th. It must've been a helluva deal

[@dougkearns]

I bought a square, almost exactly the same, from the $1 bin at my local independent hardware store (remember them?) back in '93 and it's been in constant use ever since. Mine has "CHINA" emblazoned on the stock which is better finished than yours. Maybe you'll be using yours in twenty five years as well. :)

[@rockyrgs]

Rex, I really enjoy your videos. I'm a retired science educator and disabled in pain for 14 years. But only the first 24 hours per day. To cope I took up light wood woodworking to make toys and turn icecicles Christmas ornaments, and mostly make toys for my 5 grandsons, like wooden robots and assorted puzzles and anything I like on pinterest. I particularly like your takes on hand planes an super cheap tools that work or could be modified to work. I do have an extensive tool collection mainly because my father once told me that if you have a good supply of tools you'd never be without a job. I just like the coping benefits now and have no intentions to sell my crosses or spinning tops in a box. I give them to family or have orders from family that will last forever. I thank you for all your great tool insights though your fantastic.

[@RexKrueger]

Richard, thanks so much for your thoughts. Though I'm not disabled, I have a very messed up left knee and I've had many long fights with tendinitis in my hands. I know a little about living in pain. Please keep at it! I'm really glad you haven't let it stop you.

[@orcasea59]

Dang you, Rex Krueger. I was on the tool buying wagon. Was. Dang you.

[@RexKrueger]

Man, for a price like this, it's not even "buying." I've lost more money than this in the couch. Get you a cheap square!

[@orcasea59]

Rex, I did but you know how it is:. First it's just one cheap square. Then it's an inexpensive scraper, then it's...well, need I go on...? Now I have to find a Tool Buyers Anon meeting...

[@RexKrueger]

Man, don't cry to me. I ordered 4 more things off aliexpress just yesterday. Truly the crack of tool buying: very cheap thrills with a brief, intense high.

[@orcasea59]

Brother, you need a sponser, a meeting and a Higher Power. There's help if you want it, but you have to TAKE THAT STEP! ;)

[@RexKrueger]

I don't have a problem, I just like to party! (In my basement...alone...covered in sawdust while I film myself. Man, I've got a weird job.)

[@willwyatt7023]

Loved the ending.

[@RexKrueger]

I'm glad! I really wasn't sure about leaving it in.

[@MrMega200]

I just bought it. May be a buck more with an increase of price and shipping but it's worth it for such an inexpensive tool!

[@RexKrueger]

I just used mine the other day. Still a good tool!

[@FearsomeWarrior]

I have an old Starrett combination square and two dividers with amazing dark gray patina on them that good old clean tools get. I got them from a particular old feller that has been at the same flee market for more than a few years. I have bought an item from him almost every visit once or twice a year. I actually use the magnetic Bora combination square for most projects. I knew the magnet thing is a gimmick but it was on Stumpy Nubs. I tried it and it is very well made and feels good in hand.

[@RexKrueger]

I've never even heard of Bora. I'll have to check them out!

[@daveb8598]

Love the way you are helping people get into woodworking! I would also suggest looking at estate sales for good deals on tools, most of my squares were gotten for pretty cheap that way.

[@RexKrueger]

Oh my god, I am a whore for estate sales. If my wife knew how many of them I REALLY go to, we'd have a problem.

[@blackfender100]

I have gone that rout over the years also bought 4 Diston hand saws for $5.00 on craigslist.

[@IronGordon]

Cheap, easy, and square... There's a prom date joke in there, if we all put our heads together...

[@censusgary]

Iron Gordon - Art : I’ve been called cheap, easy, and square before. Come to think of it, I’ve been called a lot worse.

[@jesseschumacher4080]

I’d rather not touch heads, if that’s okay.

[@censusgary]

The rule part of a combination square is also called the blade. Different names in different places (and for different brands).

[@rickprice407]

Excellent buy! Don't forget to check the inside of the sqare as well since Chinese die cuts may not be completely square. I've also gotten to like some of the plastic (and cheap) Speed Squares. Empire seems to be good and a few others. Check one and see how it is and then, if it is good, any others should be good as well since they are injection molded and no hand done is required. Great for tough and abusive use (like farm/ranch/construction) where you might not want to use the decent Swanson's in your shop. If the $5 plastic gets torn up its no big deal. Note: Always check the new ones, if they came from a different mold, they might be out of square. All my Empires from Lowes have been good though. Nice mod on the square by the way.

[@rhofour]

Heh, I like that you included an affiliate link for a $1.61 product. If a few hundred people buy it you'll be able to afford a coffee or two.

[@JasperJanssen]

The thing about affiliate links is that often, you get credit for *everything* people buy after going to the site through your link. If you click through AliExpress through there and you decide now is the time to spend $1200 on that airplane kit, then ka-Ching.

[@anthonyray5515]

Wonder why he didn't buy 100 of them and assembly line modify then resale for $5-$20. 🤔

[@safelinefleet6633]

Ordered this just now, out of curiosity than anything else. Waiting to see the product in the flesh, and will then revert with observations.

[@RexKrueger]

Cool! Let me know how it goes.

[@ianmorgan889]

I just bought one of these squares-at the price it was too good to pass up on-I wont blame you if I get a duff one!, bought three of their $3.65 small hand planes too (the plastic ones) If nothing else I will have 3 spare blades for any planes I decide to try and make for myself. I enjoy your channel and am glad I found it so thanks for that and please, keep going with the videos! The square and the cheapo planes turned up albeit weeks apart and were in every respect, identical to yours , the square "handle" is every bit as rough and crude as yours but I had anticipated this and cleaned up the edges with fine files and sandpaper and now have a perfectly functional -and ACCURATE try-square. I usually buy the best brands when I can afford it as there is nothing worse than being on a job and finding that the tools you have just are not up to it, I now know that this is not always the case and that there are some absolute bargains out there if you are prepared to hunt them down which is great news if on a really tight budget and attempting to equip your workshop. I don't want to do Amazon's job for them but if you buy that way and don't like it-just send it back, if your reasons are valid you'll lose nothing and will get a full refund.

[@RexKrueger]

Those planes are worth it for the blades alone. The plastic planes are...meh. Fun, but not serious tools. I'm glad you like my work. New videos every Wednesday!

[@josephking6515]

Spare blades. Very clever! 👍

[@alfredneumann4692]

Some time ago i bougt for abt 10 Euro (i'm in Germany) a combination square here in a hardwarestore. The reason was, i know, that these squares are cheap and inaccurate, and i planned to fix one, so i get a good combinationsquare. BUT i didn't believe it and checked it more and more times... this damned elcheapo combinationsquare was good and accurate. I also have 5 or so similar squares in different dimensions like the example, you showed us in the video. Only one is accurate. The others i will fix, i have 2 real mechanicans squares, which can act as a refference. This smooth inserts definitely i will copy. Thanks for the video.

[@RexKrueger]

My pleasure! My grandparents all came from Germany. My father still speaks German. Nice to hear from the old country!

[@alfredneumann4692]

I though this. Your name is very german. Here it would be written Krüger with the umlaut. Best regards to the german speaking family. Or in german: Viele Grüße an die deutsch sprechende Familie. Cheerio

[@ramaroodle]

For less than $2 I was compelled to order one. Thanks.

[@RexKrueger]

For that price, you can't say no!

[@mothman-jz8ug]

The square seem pretty good for the price. I did notice that, as with all folks with a plane fetish, you used a plane for tasks done more easily with sandpaper. But, to each his own. Good review on the square.

[@RexKrueger]

I must disagree entirely. I've never once found sandpaper faster and with anything I do with the plane, the surface is done when I'm finished. No need for finer grits.

[@heyimamaker]

I like some of the rulers from Japan KoKuyo, they are nice and cheap. Stainless and thin which I like. I sorta hold the rulers and press them down so that I can pick them back up again.

[@mhaz49]

For using only as a square, great addition to beginning tool set; BUT for measuring, not the best as only in metric.

[@RexKrueger]

Well, most of the world DOES use metric. I'm American, so I don't, but that's my problem.

[@artiet5982]

Another great video, Rex! Thanks man! Like the tip of adding the handle stock as well! Looks slick!

[@photojournalist1194]

Thanks for the video. I've bought two 16" squares from Aliexpress, about 5 years ago, (I still have them), and both had about 1.5° off. So I think you just got lucky on you're buy.

[@RexKrueger]

It's totally possible. Then again, maybe standards have improved in the last 5 years. I'll be interested to see what other viewers say when their squares arrive.

[@photojournalist1194]

Rex Krueger It's possible of course. Just always check all tools, no matter where people buy them.

[@JasperJanssen]

Rex Krueger it’s more likely that one manufacturer is better than the other, but you never know who you’re gonna get.

[@bascostbudde7614]

To me the agonizing part on the tool is its ruler starting at the tip, instead of in the corner :)

[@Kirrel]

You actually can adjust squares like this. Use a punch and have a little tap on the inside of the blade close to the handle when it has to "open up" or on the outside to "close"

[@andrewcady9443]

You can also get a plastic speedsquare knockoff for $2 at a big box store. It will probably be more reliable long-term.

[@mattmillar1456]

"A dollar sixty one. Cheap enough for ya?" I like your unique editorial perspective.

[@RexKrueger]

Well, I feel like $1.61 has got to be cheap enough for anyone. It's pennies!

[@martyking6942]

Nice hack on the Square handle.👍

[@RexKrueger]

Thanks!

[@rildain76]

Update from 3/30/2021... the price has jumped to $2.22 + $2.28 for shipping... still not bad at all. Then I noticed that delivery takes an estimated 30-50 days. Ouch! I think I'll watch your video about making my own square. =)

[@ronnielemoine7598]

I understand the thought of the cheap square but you can get an empire tri-square for pretty cheap and they are pretty spot on.

[@RexKrueger]

Well, the point of the video is that this square is pretty good and it's less than $2.

[@Intelligent_investor]

My woodworking got to the point where I buy 2x3 inch squares that cost 20 dollars. It's pretty accurate I have to say, 0.01mm per 100mm

Hello Dave !

[@okiwatashi2349]

Great idea. Thanks Rex

[@RexKrueger]

My pleasure!

[@russveinot5754]

all I can say, maybe that is the only one (out of 1000) that came square. love your videos :>)

[@RexKrueger]

Only one way to find out: spend the lousy 1.61 and try one out! Thanks so much for watching!

[@russveinot5754]

you drive a hard bargain :>)

[@Kikilang60]

What do you say? Thank you. I feel like I should return the favor. Here is a tip. When or if you travel, look for old independent hardware stores. Sometime, these stores have tools sitting on the shelf for fifty years or more. Sometime the price is what it was fifty years ago. It's crazy. It's like stepping into a time warp. Sadly, the big boxes are killing these places, but they are still out there.

[@MrMNRichardWright]

Ok I’m bitting. With the long lead time on shipping it’ll be a nice surprise in the mail.

[@RexKrueger]

For what these things cost, I get 4 or 5 cool things at once, then I let them trickle in and enjoy the mini-christmases. It's fun!

[@SouthCentralOhio]

Dang it, I missed out! It's a buck 63 now!!

[@RexKrueger]

It's my reputation! As soon as I recommend a tool, the price goes through the roof.

[@thebeststooge]

Price has went up since this video and is $1.87 plus the shipping to me in the USA via e-packet the total cost is $3.32. Happens every single time a youtuber opens their mouth to inform the public but it will come back down in a few months normally.

[@BloodyClash]

:D have that thing for 5 years and it still is accurate

[@RexKrueger]

Really? That's very nice to hear. Durability is my biggest concern with this thing. Thanks for sharing.

[@Aubreykun]

A dollar store near me (as in, a real one - they get stock from other random stores nearby, including dollar-and-up stores) had a bunch of squares. Unfortunately after testing 2 that were both out of square by what looked like the same amount in the same way, I stopped checking them. I have heard good things about the plastic speed squares (more than the aluminum speed squares).

[@RexKrueger]

Oh, I'd go aluminum every time. Plastic will never be as rigid or durable. Just did some stairs with a carpenter I know. His speed squares are all aluminium.

[@Aubreykun]

I meant just the super cheap plastic and aluminum ones instead of the normal hardware store pickings. The thing I'd read about the extremely cheapo-end plastic ones was that they came out square every time, while the aluminum ones at a similar price point was a gamble. But buying cheap squares without being able to handle them is something I've avoided.

[@stephanieray6587]

Using an upside down hand plan as a plan? Genius!

[@williamh123456789]

Also it has a 45º slot

[@timlist4173]

Nice modification to the handle. Alas the square page in no longer found.

[@weedeater64]

How do you know that shelf has a straight edge? Did you check it with a strait edge tool? If so, how do you know that straight edge tool was straight? It's a trap. Kidding, you can check a straight edge tool similar to the way you checked that square of course. Just strike a line, and flip it over. Then check your shelf or whatever.

[@censusgary]

weedeater64 : You can also get a very straight line by stretching a string tight. That’s how a chalk line works. That’s how the builder made the lines straight on the Pyramids and the Parthenon (I assume; I wasn’t there when it happened).

[@censusgary]

I realize this series is about the cheapest available tools, or at least the cheapest useable tools, but if you need to put at least half an hour into modifying this square before you can stand to use it, and if your time is worth anything at all, wouldn’t you be better off getting a $10 or $20 square that you can use right out of the box (or blister pack, or whatever)? Or you could do what I did, and spend under $10 on a used Starrett combination square in good condition.

[@RexKrueger]

Gary Cooper So, given that the series has the word "madness" right in the title, do you really think I'm going after the logical and reasonable choice?

[@censusgary]

Good point!

[@badronali649]

Worth my 7min watching it.

[@RexKrueger]

I'm really glad!

[@jimbo2629]

I’m not a fan of modern try squares, even though they can be depth gauges etc. Old squares with brass and rosewood are better balanced and are not going to change. They are usually cheap. When I started woodwork I bought a new traditional style square that was discounted. A year later I realised why my joints were always off!! I now have a few of different sizes, and no excuse. I like your improvement. Some tools are ridiculously cheap from China. I bought a block plane for ten dollars(nz). The mouth is ridiculously open, but despite that it works fine. I might epoxy some walnut in the gap one day. The blade takes a good edge .

[@RexKrueger]

Yeah, when you can get a cheap tool that works, snap it up and go make something. Can you give me a link to the plane you got? I might do a video on it.

[@Agamemnon2]

There's an awful lot of garbage coming out of Chinese factories (I own a jeweler's clamp with hideously bad castings and non-parallel jaws, that I use for wargame miniatures work), but glad to see they can produce square squares :P

[@RexKrueger]

There are so many cheap tools coming out of China, I figured it was time someone started sifting through them and seeing what's good. Thanks for watching!

[@josephking6515]

@@RexKrueger When I was a boy, the rubbish was coming out of Taiwan. Then they got better and the rubbish came from South Korea, then they got better and Taiwan got fairly to very good. Now the crap comes from China and the South Korean stuff is fairly to very good. Unfortunately China just hasn't improved. I had to purchase a Chinesium device in January 2021 and the angles were off and I didn't need a square to see it.

[@watermain48]

Still using it? Thought I'd ask since the price has skyrocketed to $1.85 now...

[@RexKrueger]

I'm not, but only because I have about a dozen good squares. Several of my viewers bought them and they all seem happy.

[@gmtoomey]

I have one of these. The problem is that the ruler is in the wrong direction! The 0 point is on the free end; it should be on the other end. Its clearly visible in the vid.

[@RexKrueger]

So, I just checked and you're correct, but all my other try-squares are the same way, and I own about 5. You must have a different style. I'm sure it's useful.

[@RexKrueger]

Yeah! I really don't see any other way to do it. It's certainly less dangerous than anything else i can think of.

[@Aubreykun]

There's several ways to do it, like using sticking boards (and also safer ways to do it that way - piece of rubber or felt on a "push block" to move the piece as an example) But the best way is the way that suits what you're prioritizing. Just maybe wear some cutproof gloves if you're gonna be "mandolining" some potato chips out of walnut :P

Price has went up since this video and to me in the USA via e-packet the total cost is $3.32

[@RexKrueger]

That's a drag. I just looked around ali-express and they have gone up. I wonder if so many people bought them that they adjusted the price?

[@thebeststooge]

Yes, this happens all of the time and I remember when 3d printer channels would review a printer or a laser machine on some other channel and every single time the price would skyrocket or simply be out of stock which told me if you see it on YT they will adjust their prices fast.

Hi Rex ! Luv your vids. Question if I may, The what appears to be 45 cut in the not tongue area, is this for marking 45 degree angles and is it accurate or just a way to save on production costs?

[@peterofoz]

Now selling for $2.55 and $1.55 shipping = $4.10.

[@croyce7699]

If those are steel pins, that square won't last long. The two metals will corrode, the rule will get wiggly and then you're hooped.

That might be a starrette combination square.

[@RexKrueger]

The naming system gets a little tricky. Sometimes, the "combination square" is the full set with the center finder and the protractor. I tend to go with "engineer's square" to differentiate it from the full set.

[@RTIZONI]

Actually I think it is a Goodell-Pratt head on a Starrett tongue. I have a Goodell square and it looks just like that and I could not find a Starrett with that triangle shape on the head. My best square is that Goodell.

[@mildyproductive9726]

I'm curious why the Starett is shaped the way it is. And the adjustability... is that for the angle or the length that sticks out? Anyone with a Starett can answer this?

[@RexKrueger]

It's shaped the way it is because it gives you right angles and 45 degrees. It's adjustable to fit different length stock, to draw lines parallel to an edge and to use it to measure the depth of holes. Really, just the handiest tool ever.

[@mildyproductive9726]
