New Milwaukee Tool TRIM SQUARE Can Replace Your OLD RAFTER SQUARES

After seeing this video I made my 3 hour round trip to my nearest Home Depot and bought this square. I really think I'm going to love this square for trim work. Great product. I would have not known it was available if I hadn't seen it here first.

[@sawdustandsurvival]

Once I was carrying a speed square down the back of my jeans. I sat down and the thing totally violated me. I'd have been grateful for a couple of inches less penetration. They could use this as marketing?

[@meagaindave2049]

The notches? I'm sold! Especially when cutting 1-3 inch rips of drywall 10-12 feet long! Too short to hold a razor knife and tape measure together. Chalk line is okay but takes so much time when working solo! The notch with a pencil (or maybe even with razor?) is huge! Slide it right along in no time. Thanks, Vince, hope your Christmas went great and God bless!😁👍✌

[@ibrazeau3044]

Good and useful little square. I just bought two of them. I use it now for electrical installs, panel boxes and saw blade square adjustments... faster then a tape and not too big. I do not use it for framing at all but I'll use it for marking. Two things though 1- the edges are quite sharp, real sharp and I had to I dull them out with a very fine sandpaper, 2- the markings are not bright white but are more of a beige like colour. Not as bright as the marketing images want your to believe. Future upgrades wanted - To have an incorporated mini level in it like the Martinez (also on the bigger one) and to have an even smaller model... say 3 1/2" max like Woodpecker. Best of all worlds.

[@justinedwards1861]

I love it being a plumber I can mark studs on exterior walls that are sheared. And it fits in hoodie pocket as well as back pocket. All I use now.

[@XxStratAttackxX]

I bought the square after watching this video. I like scribing notches and the quality of materials as well as the laser etched marks. but after a simple test to determine if it was really 90° it turns out that it's about 1/32 out of square over 4 inches which is a considerable amount of error for finish work. Especially considering that a speed square isn't adjustable like a combination square and it should be machined perfectly to 90°. I can't believe that a company as big as Milwaukee with such a reputation can't even deliver an accurate tool.

[@cbdfpv]

Vince I got that square when it first came out 💪🏽 fits perfectly in my tool bags and not big and bulky. Plus has different measurements as a electrician I love it.

[@eastade]

I definitely see the appeal. Especially for trim work, as intended. I really like the 'dual reference heel' for reveals when casing windows and doors. It could replace the combo square for me in that circumstance for sure.

[@ghg789987]

I just bought one. Could think of a million great uses for it! Most my work doesn't require a full sized square.

[@konamanstudio2447]

I bought one of those little squares from 3 to 4 months ago every time I load up my box I put it in there does this lot easier when you're cutting two by fours down when I'm cutting angles I do like to have my bigger Square I like that room the clampdown I just got into two-by-fours at the perfect take care guys and cheers with a beer

[@chancecarlton8403]

I've been using this along with the 7inch for awhile now. Mostly using it on sunrooms, it fits nicely in the tracks and they are only 3.25 inch thick walls. Use it to get into tight spaces and even with the 7 to transfer lines. It's not a replacement to the 7 but a supplement for me and I love it.

[@dustinlewallen2645]

Being an electrician, I love my trim square.

[@michaeldahm214]

Loved the “dead pan” aluminum/aluminium joke. Very good.

[@ProfAngusMacgyver]

I got both Milwaukie squares in a package deal. And I do love the smaller trim square. Fits nicely in to my back pocket on the days when I don't really need my tool belt

[@shhonda599]

I picked this square up at Christmas. I haven’t had a chance to test it yet. I have always wanted a smaller speed square because of different reasons. This is an awesome square.

[@completeconcrete5624]

I carry a small trim pouch for working in kitchens, baths, and doing flooring. It has a small slot in it that fits a 7" s.s. but it sticks out a bit when I holster it. This trim s.s. fits perfectly in their; it's light, has good heft to it, edges are more crisp than other squares I own, and I love the machining etches or marks/chatter on the edges that make a nice zip sound when I slide it along the workpiece or lumber. Compare it to other squares out there from Stanley or Swanson and you will see the difference in the small details that make this speed square a cut above. Pun intended.

[@WEALRO]

I like the edge that wraps board can be used to mark a 1/4 or 3/8 on the side of lumber also , great job Vince 👍 always a great video

[@802Garage]

LOL I literally just got a set of Swanson speed squares for Christmas and now I'm wishing I had this one. I like the notches, the precise markings, and the size! Being a bright color doesn't hurt either. Easy to spot!

[@VCGConstruction]

I do appreciate the notches!

[@LaGrasa617]

I made it to Home Depot before 9pm. Thanks Vince!!! Milwaukee is always welcomed!

[@relativelynomadic]

I picked this up because my square lives in my back pocket and is always falling out, this is perfect

[@gearhead4013]

I love mine! No oxidation on mine yet but I’m glad to know it’s covered lol. It’s definitely a handy little square!

[@VCGConstruction]

[@begpard]

Omg!! Using my speed square to ensure I have square cuts...I wish I thought of that!! I am most definitely using that for sure

[@TheNorthlandWorkshop]

Just got this square for Christmas! For what I do a regular speed square is over kill and this is a much handier size.

[@gobucky3610]

I've got one and its awesome. I use it mostly for marking 2x4s and its the perfect size. If I need to mark something bigger like plywood, I just use a framing square.

[@dakotaslim]

Vince's east coast, high speed patter initially made these videos difficult to get through. Until.......I started talking back to video Vince. Now it's a dialog. Makes my wife think I'm crazy though. Small price to pay for the knowledge gained.

[@landonm11]

I love mine. It fits perfect in a tool belt pouch. Just dang handy!

[@shawngraham4902]

I'm a structural steel fitter and this thing is great on small beams

[@josephmalinowski6817]

I actually purchased both of the Milwaukee squares and the smaller one is nice just because it fits into your tool pouch so much nicer but it's only really good for two by fours one by threes and then I have the big I go Waukee speed square for two by sixes but I do find myself using the bigger speed square in the smaller ones

[@spanzek]

Great video Vince! I just picked up one of those trims squares at my local Home Depot. Seems versatile enough but the compact size is what really makes it a hit. The larger one is always getting caught on something in tight spaces. Plus love the red color!! Can't lose that on the job, but someone might snag it from you!!

[@scorporsupremacy7948]

Got mines for the size and it’s working out fine for me.

[@trueblue3756]

New movie idea 😁 Honey I shrunk the trim square

[@VCGConstruction]

[@stmichale6192]

I’d like to try it just for it being smaller. My speed square pops out of my pouch more than I’d like it to.

[@JoeZasada]

Small squares and torpedo levels are great. EVERYONE should have them in their tool pouch , no matter which trade they are. It only takes a second to check when you are mounting something, etc... and no one's "eye" is as good as the tool, especially up close. The big stuff is great too, when you are building bigger stuff. Definitely a place for both sets of gear... but the small stuff is handy!

[@anthonygm85]

This seems to be like a handy little guy, I'm a automotive tech and my speed square followed with me I still find uses for it even though it's wood tool technically had my Swanson for 20 years

[@spdracr4life]

The notches are every 1/4" and not every 1/8"

[@randymathews3348]

I like it, the offset heel is great for casing reveals. Fits well in my back pocket too

[@rodw]

I agree totally Vince. What I like most is the contrast, you can clearly see the numbers. I've noticed that lately most of them are the same color.. I've seen green, Orange, silver and grey. Stanley has one that is nice black with yellow numbers. Very visible !!! This was a fun short video. With all the fuss over power tools, we overlook the basic tools sometimes. Thanks Vince !! I hope you had a great Christmas and look forward to a great 2020, Happy New Year my Friends and all of the VCG !!! Rodney

[@Aepek]

Having a Trim Square can be the perfect tool to use/have when ya need one, w/o taking the 7”, 12/14”, or a 24” speed/framing squares out of your bag, even if you’re not a trim carpenter 👍🏻 Only thing I’m worried about is the “laser etching” for the marks. Have another laser etched speed square been using all year, & after using it as a square, circ saw guide(like a larger heel when using as saw guide), etc....the “color” gets scratched & marked up; along with those “laser etchings”, which start to wear away. Let’s hope this doesn’t happen to the Milwaukee 🤞🏼 Cheers😁

[@nicksoehren4812]

I love mine I install windows and I can easily measure out my marble sills with ease especially with those notches.I love it’s compact size it fits in my pouch and doesn’t get in the way. Definitely the best tool I bought recently.

[@vistadrummer09]

I may have to pick one up. I'm glad it's made in USA. I wish Milwaukee or really TTI would move the hand tool manufacturing back here (then I'd be more willing to buy their hand tools). The one big problem for me is the laser etching. Every single tool, hand or power that uses laser etching for measurements, reference marks, or labels wears off in about a year or two in my experience. Maybe this will last longer but it will eventually wear off there's no doubt about it.

[@jakerogers6562]

On a side note, i have witnessed a speed square being used as a nail set. I would dare to guess that the limited warranty doesn't cover that lol. I like the red of this one. Thank you for the heads up VCG !

Even on 2x4s I like the overhang of the good old speed square to use as a guide to keep the plate of my saw vertically level. Although this would make my arse look more 'trim' when carrying it around.

Sometimes it would be really handy to have a smaller speed square. I'm going to get one

he knows that mean the same right? aluminium is used outside the USA but its referred to the same element (#13), the aluminum corrosion is called aluminum oxide.

[@TheCrash2769]

i used to use my speed square to cut my 2x4 and what not but then my boss told me not to and that it take longer and im wasting time to use my speed square when cutting studs and what not. but the funny thing is i can cut faster with it then with out. plus i dont waste time marking the work. my boss sometimes thinks his way is best and fastest when in reality its not. yet he is not willing to be shown differently.

[@jamesvfreetage6403]

Vince, good video, but I have to correct one thing. I started laughing when you started saying that "aluminum when exposed to oxygen makes aluminium". It's the same word just pronounced differently. Aluminum, when it oxidizes, makes aluminum oxide. Other than that I think you do an excellent job of your reviews, new product offerings, and of course TTR! You've been an inspiration for my new business, and have been a wellspring of information I've needed to start outfitting as I grow my business. Thank you Vince! And the rest of the VCG Crew.

[@robertmassey9702]

It seems like you've never traveled outside of the US before. Aluminium is a major problem in some places, especially certain parts of Europe.

[@F1NATIK]

One word.... OOF!!!!!!!!!

[@needaman66]

Being an element on the table it really is Aluminium

[@dewaltaholicuk1615]

It became "Aluminum" because of a spelling mistake by an American.... allegedly... 😑 I don't understand Robert Masseys' comment about "It seems like you've never traveled outside of the US before. Aluminium is a major problem in some places...." The context of the original comment was Vinces' apparent confusion about "Aluminum" becoming Aluminium when exposed to oxygen... not the availability or otherwise of the said material. As it happens, Aluminium is one of the most common metals (8% of the earth's crust) but it's the processing that is somewhat time consuming. And, yes aluminium ( checkout the spelling on the periodic table of elements) will oxidise, as will most elements in some way or another... Love the VCG channel and Vince's unique way of presentation... 😀👍

[@needaman66]

@@dewaltaholicuk1615 i said thw same thing.....sort of. Its on the element table as Aluminium

[@AM-pi7jy]

Thanks for the review. One remark though. "Aluminum" is North American spelling whereas "Aluminium" is British spelling. It's exactly the same material. Aluminum that corrodes, is called Aluminum Oxide. It forms a thin layer that prevents further corrosion.

Have you ever seen the Martinez Square? They are laser cut titanium with a blade change notch and larger notches for marking with a pencil. They even have a built in level that is replaceable.

There's nothing wrong with that it's called the perfectionist I do the same thing I have the Milwaukee M18 circular saw the smaller 5'5/8 and it's so hard to see the blade when you cuttwood I like to use the square just to make it that much easier and faster

[@davidrosing5788]

Vince, In actuality the red anodized surface on the trim square is a thicker layer of aluminum oxide (the stuff that forms on the surface when aluminum corrodes), thereby preventing additional corrosion. Pretty much forever. "Al-you-min-ee-yum" is just the way the folks across the pond pronounce "A-loo-min-um." (But the joke's on us because in our pronunciation we use the syllable 'loo' on this side of the pond. The Brits will get that joke. :) ) Even so, your bare aluminum square won't corrode any more because it already did so within seconds when it came out of the manufacturing shop. But the red anodize looks prettier.

[@RockingB5]

Usually when they say limited lifetime warranty what it means is that if you use it for its intended purpose and it fails they will send a new one but they will have you send it in and if they determine that it broke due to intentional abuse they will send a letter telling you that you voided the warranty
