Great video. I ordered the 7" square without the bubble. I will definitely appreciate the clearer/sharper images of the marks. Getting older sucks. PS, I ordered the 4.5" and received it today. It's definitely small and a bit overpriced. However, you get what you pay for.
I’d go for the smallest one for my needs. My projects are raised wood planters for growing veggies and flowers. Small stuff like that. The bubble level is handy but I can always reach for the one I already have.
@@MarkThomasBuilder nicely done video. Deep dive into the features was great. Thank you for putting this video together. Helps us guys make much better purchase decisions.
I haven't tried the Woodpecker brand of squares or looked at them too close. I do know they're premium in quality and made in the USA. From what I've seen, they're close in price or maybe a little more than Stiletto. I'd like to do a comparison sometime of the 4-1/2 square.
Sounds like stiletto is in need of another mark Martinez. Prices are lower though! lol. Just glad there hammers have a replaceable grip now. Only problem now is the tb15 for any civil construction guys is they will wear the titanium claws of the hammers out quickly.
This square is way over priced. I bought one and the only reason was the bubble level feature of it but after checking the accuracy of the level found that is not accurate. So I took it back to the store and they ask for exchange. We tried all they had in stock and they were all the same so I got a refund. But such a waste of time and money when you think paying 120 canadian for this aluminum square.
@@s.a.3815 What worries me is that you said "we". What kind of weird, creepy sad little world do all you tool snobs live in exactly? Get a Life already.
Yea. If every square in the store is off. Maybe just maybe it’s you. It’s almost impossible for a bubble to be wrong. I level can be bent and not be true but a bubble is always g2g
My trigjig squares bubble is slightly off too. I took it apart and realized it's the bubble. Btw It IS possible for the bubble to be out, or at the very least the lines on the bubble arent evenly spaced. It's disappointing for sure especially after spending so much on a damn square
U lost me at carpenters square. Brother u r pointing at a speed square. And yes this matters because apprentices these days don’t know what the tools are. I asked one to grab my framing square and he got my rafter square or the one foot “carpenter square”. Come on guys, our predecessors left us with awesome tools and they named them aptly. THERE IS NOT CARPENTER SQUARE.
Good point, I understand where you're coming from. I wanted to call this a speed square, but looked at the Stiletto website and they call it a carpenters square. I'm guessing that it's because Swanson has a trademark on the name.
Which Stiletto Square would you choose first?
I wouldn’t get any of them. I have Martinez square and micro square. These are junk squares
@@elitegroup7461why are they junk
@@elitegroup7461why are they junk???
Got one. Extremely handy and well built. Thick for great guide cuts. Stilleto never makes shit tools.
Well done, I am researching different trim squares and that laid out the Stiletto's nicely! Thank you saves me time....on to the next.
Glad it was helpful!

Yeah, I'm also a fan of easy to read markings, lol!
The best feature of the square is that it is made in the USA.
Agreed!
I'm excited to see that.
With internationally sourced materials!
The bubble is good for already installed rafters that need to still be cut

Good choice, that's a handy square for those types of projects.
4.5” trim square. My Milwaukee square will be a backup to the Stiletto.
Good choice! The 4.5" trim square is awesome!

You bet, thanks for letting me know your feedback.
What marker pen is that?
It's the Pica deep hole marker. I have a link in the video description.
Are the woodpecker 3 piece the same price?

I live in Australia. I wish we could buy ones with the metric version on them.
It might take awhile for these to be available in Australia, but that's a great idea to offer them in metric.
Will the numbers fade away? Or are they engraved
Laser engraved
if they made the trim square with a bubble that would at least be something new
They did
@@natetuohy2615 no, the trim version is just like the rest on the market

Thanks for the suggestion. You never know what Stiletto will do next...
I almost always go 3/16

Yea, not even titanium
Big deal

Cool now all I gotta do is rub a bank so I can afford this over priced crap
Agree 100%!
This stuff is nuts, and so are the dopes buying it!
Rub a rich guy the right way and he buy you anything
