Johnson Level & Tool B75 T-Bevel – Structo-Cast Handle, 9", Silver, 1 T-Bevel

I lost my old T-bevel I had for 40 years. When I went to buy a new one, they were either HUGE (10") or digital. I wanted a "normal" sized one, which is traditionally 8". You can't carry around a 10" in your tool belt and you certainly can't expect a digital one to hold up in the field. This one is perfect. It's sturdy and folds into a compact 8.5" total length when the blade is stored. Made in US is a bonus. It's inexpensive enough to lose but high quality. The wing nut holds tight. I've seen complaints that it's not stainless steel, even though it's marked "stainless". Yes, a magnet will stick, but I researched and there are some stainless steels that a magnet will stick to, so ignore the magnet test.

I bought this simple angle finder to help me trim study models in dental hygiene school. I had gotten frustrated eyeballing each side when trimming, and could not get each side‘s angle even to save my life! This helped me “measure” my first cut & just flip it over for the other side! Passing grades & I’m SO happy! As other reviewers have mentioned it does not have measurements marked on it of any kind, but has been great for the purpose I needed it for & as a straight edge!

I bought this to replace the Stanley I bought on ebay but it was "lost" somehow. (I never saw it.) This cost about a 1/3 of the Stanley. I'm learning hand tool woodworking & this or something similar is needed for layout, etc. I have a "Shinwa Sokutei 62588 Freedom Scoya" , it was about $1 more than my "Johnson Level & Tool B75 T-Bevel". It works fine, but I'm still learning how to use it. I gave it 4 stars, if i needed another I would it ( or something similar).

I gave it a 5 star review only because folks have now considered a 5 star a product that actually does what it's supposed to do. This product works well. The blade doesn't move when tightened. It works as it should. Nothing more or less. It should be a 3 star review for doing what it should.

Amazing, exactly as advertised, I highly recommend.

This is a pretty simple Tool that does its job well. All its meant to do is to capture the angle of whatever it is you are measuring and retain it so that if you need to replicate the angle again you can do so with ease. The wingnut on the top of the plastic part makes it easy to adjust but is strong enough to apply quite a bit of pressure to hold the angle without moving. Between the bevel and the slot in the metal piece, you should be able to retain most any angle so long as you have a little more than an inch in the gap of the angle (to fit the tool in). Even though it has a plastic handle I do not have any question about its durability because it feels solid.

This is just a very basic T-Bevel for copying or setting angles. It clamps down well enough that I don't worry about losing the angle. There are no angle measurements on it so if you need to set a specific angle you'll need to use a protractor, speed square, etc. to set the angle. I bought this to use building a picnic table. I don't have a miter saw so I just needed a quick simple way to set and easily mark lines for multiple angle cuts with a circular saw. I had to cut a lot of the same angles, so rather than marking and measuring each angle with a speed square, I just set the angle on the T-Bevel and could quickly mark all my cuts. A handy $5 tool!

I purchased and received this Johnson Level & Tool B75 Structo-Cast 8-Inch Sliding T-Bevel from Amazon. It is functional, for the not too discerning buyer. The plastic body is functional and will work to catch an angle or set one on a board or a woodworking project. It is just, not a woodworker's type of tool to be proud of. Maybe if you are on a job, working with others where you don't want to loose a really nice tool out of your pouch, this is the one. You would hate to loose a really fine tool, just that this one won't destroy you if it is lost.

all tooled up and ready to go

Esperaba algo más robusto, pero el producto cumple con su función y por su precio, creo que se puede perdonar

For a very low price, this simple tool punches way above its weight. I have successfully captured angles of all kinds when building built-in furniture. Very flexible, a veritable gymnast of the measurement tools. Highly recommended.

Does exactly what you'd expect, clamps in place very securely
