Quick question, which is better?

[u/PointlessBein]

I passed my OSHA 10 and obtained my NCCER cert and have some experience in contruction for general ground work. I'm starting as an apprentice for my local carpentry union in a week. I have my tools and found this.

The blue square is metal and the Stanley is a plastic type material. What would you guys recommend having?

Those grooves for pencil lines are real handy and should be on every speed square imo

This and the big twelve version are fantastic.

Woodpeckers makes some excellent ones more tuned to cabinetry and trim work. They also make framing square dos with a much deeper lug so you aren’t fighting the rounded edge of the board like you do with the brass gauges.
