Love this sq. I like all the layout marks. Easy to read and see with these old eyes.

Squijig Team,

I’ve been using the 4.5-inch Fusion Pro Mini for about a week, primarily for trim and finish carpentry. I really enjoy the product and have zero complaints.

Overall, I’m really impressed with the quality, compact size, and versatility. The machining is excellent, and the measurements have been extremely accurate when checked against my digital calipers. I also like the interchangeable base plate options.

below is my initial feedback and suggestions for future versions of the Fusion Pro Mini.

There are a few areas where I think some relatively minor design changes could make an already solid product even better.

1. Engraved vs. Laser-Etched Markings

My biggest recommendation would be to offer engraved measurement markings rather than relying entirely on laser etching. In my experience, laser-etched markings on other squares tend to wear over time, particularly along frequently used measurement areas.

I’d gladly pay more for a premium version with engraved graduations if squijig offered it. Enabling users to paint-fill specific reference points for improved visibility and durability.

2. Improved Readability and Visual Organization

The square has an impressive amount of information, but the extensive white lettering can make it difficult to quickly identify frequently used measurements.

A few potential improvements:

* Use different fonts, colors, or visual indicators to distinguish primary measurements from secondary reference markings.

* Emphasize common graduations (1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, and full inches), potentially using contrasting colors similar to those found on some tape measure brands. This would be is a great improvement that enables quick and accurate references to the nearest tolerance when working with another person. Also, it would help when doing a quick second measurement check to confirm a unique cut, this would improve workflow and help time/efficiency when using a cut-man.

* Make the quick-reference markings for common dimensions (1/2, 3/4, 1-1/8, 1-1/2 inches, etc.) more prominent, perhaps with circles or another visual indicator. Even using a different font would be a huge help.

* Consider using a more subdued or muted gray for the hip/valley and angle markings to reduce visual clutter. Even if those markings were a smaller size font or a completely different font, that would be sweet.

I really like the built-in reference points for common lumber dimensions. I’d just like to see those practical measurements stand out more clearly from the other markings.

3. Base Plate Options and Additional Measurements

I first purchased the level/bubble vial base plate. I ended up ordering the other 3/16-inch base plate today. The modular design is excellent and I’m eager to try the other option once it arrives.

On the level/bubble vial base plate, I wish there was an option for a continuous, full-length base plate with the integrated level vial, without the corner cutouts for the various offset measurements (1/8, 3/16, 1/4, and 5/16 inches). Those notches are useful, but a traditional uninterrupted reference edge would be preferred for most of my applications. Also, adding engraved ruler graduations along the underside of the base plate would be a massive improvement.

The full sized square that I really like and have been using for awhile is the Johnson MACH-1. It features the bottom base plate ruler and It’s extremely convenient. Johnson Levels doesn’t have a trim square version of the Mach-1, which is how I found SquiJig. The Fusion Pro Mini’s underside is currently blank with unused space that could serve a practical purpose if they integrated that in their next 4.5” version.

4. Simplified Layout Option

For users primarily focused on trim, cabinetry, and finish carpentry, a simplified version with fewer hip/valley and roofing-specific references could be worthwhile. Retaining the essential angles, marking guides, and measurement references while reducing unnecessary information would make the tool even more efficient for everyday finish work.

Overall Impression

The Fusion Pro Mini is a well-designed, precisely machined tool, and I’ve been very pleased with its performance so far. The compact size, accuracy, interchangeable components, and thoughtful marking features are all major strengths.

My primary suggestions are focused on long-term durability, improved readability, and additional base plate configurations rather than any concerns about the tool’s accuracy or construction.

I appreciate the quality of the product and I only heard about SquiJig when researching new trim squares to buy and saw them on YouTube. Hopefully this feedback helps someone on the fence, I would definitely buy it again. If SquiJig integrates these specific features on their next premium version, I’ll gladly buy it.

Really Cool company and I look forward to seeing how the product line continues to evolve.

Thanks,
James

Great product. Tons of features, loads of cool colors. I’d get them all just showcase them on my wall. Use it everyday!

I have been in the industry building houses and doing high end finish work since 2002 . This is hands down the best square ever produced. It has so many "short cut" features. It saves me time all throughout the day. It is literally a multi tool for craftsmen. Customer for life. People say oh that's expensive. And that's true. But a $7 square gives you $7 results.... this is an investment in your future.

Second set, even but my employees the squares absolutely amazing

Great profit

Perfect. Everything they say it is going to be.

Beautiful work

Not only impressed with the quality and feel of the square but also with the service I received on a replacement heel. The laser marks on mine slightly differed from edge to edge so I reached out to see what they would do and before I could even upload pictures they had a new one on the way. Also purchased the 3” jigs and after using them for a full day with my framing square cutting beams and lvls they will be my go to from now on. Such a convenience.

I loved it !! Had it customized for my husband’s birthday and he was excited!!

The best square you can get 🙌🙌🙌❤️

Excellent square! I’m a carpenter here in Big Sky, MT! Great quality and outrageously versatile. I would tell anyone to grab one up. Thanks for making quality US made products.

Great tool works as advertised only complaint is it’s soft metal so it dents easily

Great products !!

mostly remodeling here. this suits all of me needs love the shortcuts and the size. it hits the mark.
