Presch Try Square 400 mm | Large | Includes rust-free marking gauge (40cm), level bubble & marking pin | 90° & 45° | Carpenters square, Precision Square, Joiners Square, Engineers Square

Presch Try Square 400 mm. I bought this as needed a larger square as the 300mm regular try squares for larger projects was hard to utilise. . I looked at a lot on amazon and on line. from really cheap to stupid prices. And took the plunge on this Presch 400mm square. It has been a good choice and not disappointed. It is noted by others as German design and built. It is a German company. Designed in Germany, but don't think manufactured in Germany. They would have Made in Germany all over it. But that is not to say it is not good quality, as it is for the price. It has a good weight and feel, solid and thick long reference end to align with the edge. But wish it had flange or pop out clip to stabilise on the material edge as weighty. The metal rule is thick and doesn’t bend/flex like some cheaper squares or even more expensive. The whole tool feels like it will last a long time and not wear or damage easily. More importantly doing the square check drawing a line and then flipping and marking again. All seems square. Well mine is. Some note price seems slightly or on the high side. But this seems a well built product and I would score it reasonable on value for money as apposed to some brand name ones i have had that were rubbish and not SQUARE - you get what you pay for they say, but sometimes you don't! But here about right, maybe a few quid cheaper it needs to be. Overall i will say good value, well made and packaged. Robust, it's square and should last years. A good item to have in your collection. Would i try other Presch tools. On this first purchase, YES.

Love this tool. Used when I fitted some decking to get some really accurate measurements and metres. Great peice of kit for my tool bag!

I bought this as it was a bit bigger than a regular try square and I wanted to draw lines for cutting flooring planks that were 30 cm wide and have since used it for several other little DIY projects. As you would expect from our German cousins the design and build quality is excellent, which makes it easy to use and hard NOT to get the correct angle every time (being slightly childish we also had a bit of laugh at the German name for the product which appears in big capital letters on the box - “ANSCHLAGWINKEL” 🤣). The handle is solid and thick enough to align well with the edge giving reference for the angle. The metal rule is thick and doesn’t bend or flex like some cheaper items I’ve used before, so it provides a good edge for scribing your line. The whole tool feels like it will last a long time and not wear or damage easily. The 45° feature an unexpected handy bonus (I know, I should have read the description!) I haven’t used the scoring pin yet but I can see that it could be really helpful. It fits tightly inside the handle, so you don’t get the feeling it will loosen up and drop out (and eventually be lost) over time. The notches that allow you to score a parallel line are also very handy, although won’t work well with a thick carpenter’s pencil (but that would give you reduced precision, so it’s not necessarily a bad thing). Perhaps the price seems slightly on the high side, but this is a really decent product and therefore I would score it well on value for money - you get what you pay for! If you’re hesitating then go for it - I would definitely buy this over again. Not that I’ll need to, as it will very likely last a lifetime!

Presch Try Square 200mm This is a sturdy try square, no flex in the ruler part as experienced with some. Mine is pretty square, but not perfect (when set against my engineer square and CNC table). It's good enough. If you want *perfect* this is not it. Setting the outside edge along my metal CNC bed, holding the zero end of the scale flat, you can slide a piece of paper under at the 239mm end down to about 200mm. The rest of it is flat. The square has measurements on the outside to 239mm, on the inside to 202mm. For woodworking at my level (not a Chippendale either as furniture maker or stripper), making toys for grandchildren and stuff around the house, it is good. I was initially disappointed at the lack of perfection, but on further consideration of expected use I am actually quite pleased; if it was perfect I would worry about damage. As it is, I can use it to mark something and put it down (i.e. drop it on a bench) without any great care as it is so sturdy; the orange part is 17mm thick and the rest is 2mm. That's pretty substantial in stainless steel. Would I recommend it? As a woodworking tool, yes. As an 'engineering square' (their words), no.

Great build quality and perfectly accurate.

Very well made, sturdy with handy little cut out nooks for pencil marking

Good quality square.

It is a high-quality product that's a perfect 90 degrees, and the metric markings are easy to read and well cut into the metal. The scribe and level are useful additions. 400mm is ideal for larger boards, and the thickness of the measure is thick enough to avoid damage and to run a circular saw along to keep it square. It is well packaged and very high quality. I would highly recommend it.

Ottimo prodotto, ben costruito, preciso. Fatte tutte le verifiche su tutte le 3 squadre non ho rilevato difetti, gli angoli sono a 90° perfetti. Consigliato

Presch, es una marca que no conocía, pero que me ha sorprendido muy gratamente. Los productos de medición, como en este caso, las escuadras, son absolutamente precisas, perfectamente escuadradas, algo fundamental para carpintería y hasta parece absurdo elogiar una característica esperable de una escuadra, que esté a 90 grados, pero, hoy en día, con la inundación de productos chinos de baja calidad, es una rareza, y aún más si consideramos su bajo precio. La calidad de construcción es excelente, muy robustos y pesados, sorprende su peso. Es un producto totalmente recomendable para personas que quieran trabajar de manera profesional o hacer bricolage de carpintería, o en cualquier otra manualidad que requiera tener herramientas precisas.
