This simple accessory prevents your tape measure from slipping off the corner while measuring diagonals. The 90° inside corner securely straddles any outside corner, and rotates 360° to accomodate any rectangular object. It attaches easily to your tape with a single, powerful rare earth magnet. Use it while assembling drawers for a perfectly square batch. Also great for cases, frames and more. Slot for tape hook measures 1-1/8" wide. Made of durable plastic.
The square check gives you a more accurate measurement than just putting than just putting the tape on the corner . With this your tape measure stays in place and gives you a accurate measurement .for the price it’s worth the money and saves you time. The
Used these for first time just last night. The magnet is very strong so your tape is not coming loose. Love these little special tools that do one thing, and do it well!
I made two pair of double gates that each span about 9 feet. The magnet secured the tape measure hook end to the Square Check allowing me to easily measure at the opposite corner. Had no need for a second person (my lovely wife) to be interrupted just to make a quick square check. Of course it works just as well on smaller projects also.
This item does exactly what it says it does. Our only problem with it is that it is so small that we are likely to forget where it is when it comes time to need it. Because tape measures are inherently inaccurate, we use them more like a story board; remembering what our comparative measurements are. This devise makes such comparative measurements quite accurate and stable when measuring the distance between opposing corners.
This thing is handy! Not for getting exact measurements of an angle because it offsets the tape slightly from the corner, but perfect for checking one dimension against the other!
This is by far the easiest way we have found to check square accurately especially over long lengths like we need for large door panels and windows. I only wish they would make one that could be used for the inside square measurements as well.
I keep one of these in a drawer, magnetically attached to a 12-foot, Stanley rule. The combo is perfect for checking the squareness of box-like things like drawers and carcasses, and is superior to a helper that is not both personable and always available.
Awesome and simple device! I use it when measuring all my smaller projects to keep them square. The magnet holds the end of the tape in place. There is no problem with the square check staying on the corners on projects up up to 48". Very happy with my purchase. Should have purchased a few extra at this price.
Easy to use. I wish that this gadget had been available/known to me earlier. Mush easier to use than a square or tape measure alone. Magnet makes the gadget easier to use and therefore I will use it often. Minimal time to check or set work square. Very simple and again one of the best.I rate this between VG & Excellent with a placement closer to excellent. Keep it up Rockler.
A very simple device with a surprisingly strong magnet. This really works well, saves time and improves accuracy. It's like having an extra hand for squaring large casework, and eliminates some of the anxiety that occurs as glue sets up during assembly.
The magnet to help hold the tape is a great idea. Excellent tool to help square decks, bookcases, and various and assorted other things that need to be straightened out. Wonder if I can use it to keep my boss in line.
This handy device has ended the need to struggle with trying to square bookcases for me .I just hook it on one corner and measure across to the other corner. A very nifty idea. I wish I had one a long time ago.
I used this a day after I bought it from Rockler and it turned what had been a frustrating required cross check into an easy activity. It worked, my door was square and I love this great measuring assistant.
I run a one man cabinet shop and this product is a time saver. It works well and saves me time. How many times in the past my tape rule slips off the corner and you have to go back and reposition it especially on big cabinets like pantrys. This product is worth it, you won't regret buying it. I bought 2, keep one as a spare.
How many times have you had a large project to square up and have the tape slip off just as you make the final measurement. Why didn't I think of this a long time ago.
This is a great product it easy to use. It works great on small projects but even better on big projects because you can do it without the help of someone to hold the other end of the tape or trying to do it yourself and the tape constantly falling of the corner while trying to measure.
It looks like it is an easier way to check the square of a box when doing it myself. Cross measure can also make sure accuracy of squareness when 3/4/5 measurement is used.

It looks as though you need to subtract one inch from your measurement. Because in the picture it looks like the tool extends the tape measure out and extra inch for it to work. Is this true?
BEST ANSWER:You would have to add to it, but I only use this to check square so as long as each cross measure is correct I'm happy. If you were using this tool to make cut based on calculations then I believe you would need to add the extra distance to your reading.

It does. However, if you're only using it to get something square, it doesn't matter. You just need the numbers to match. I wouldn't use it to get a cut measurement.
