Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was apprehensive to spend the money I did on this square, but am I glad I did. It's the only one I've found that is anything near accurate enough to use unless you do framing for a living. The C33 head is forged, this one is cast iron. Some reviewers were concerned about that and opted for the C33 head. I have to say though that the cast head on this one is solid. As long as you take care of your tools (and are careful not to drop it from a roof) this one should last. I was impressed enough with this one that I'm looking at a smaller one for my tool belt.

Starrett combination square consist of a machine-divided, hardened and tempered steel rule (or blade) on which is mounted an adjustable square head. A reversible lock bolt allows the blade to be turned over or end-for-end without removing the lock bolt or nut. This ensures true alignment of the blade and heads. Square head are made of cast iron and are not to be confused with the cheap imitation plastic or die cast heads on the market. The value of Starrett tools is that they are accurate and will last. As the name indicates, this tool can be used for many different purposes - a complete substitute for a whole set of common solid try squares, a 45 degree miter, a depth gauge, a height gauge, a marking or scribing gauge, a level, a plumb and, by withdrawing the blade, it can also be used as a precision rule. This saves littering the workbench with too many tools, each being necessary but may be used less. This results in the goal of all good craftsmen - better accuracy and greater efficiency.
