Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I suppose that, for the price of the mini square, one can't expect too much. But, I did expect it to be square, since they made claims about it being absolutely perfect for checking the ends of your cutting tools and that it is square to .001 tolerance. Unfortunately, my sample isn't square on the inside leg. It had several bumps, primarily near the inside corner of the long leg that made the tool off about .002 or so. When you're checking plane irons and chisels, you can't give away that .002 or .003. I purchased this square to use on those tools, because it's a rather soft material and less likely to damage a fine edge on a blade than my Starrett squares.
I purchased mine in person at a Woodcraft store. Rather than return it, I fixed the problem by honing the square on a coarse DMT diamond stone. The square appears to be aluminum or similar material and about 15 minutes of playing with it on the stone and checking progress, it is now square on all sides and I'm happy with it.
Given that it is easy to fix to higher tolerances than they claim, I certainly recommend the tool to anyone wanting it for the purposes mentioned.

can use any square for checking a chisel, but theyre usually too long to clear the handle, not wide enough to make it easy to align to the edge and generally poorly designed for the job. ?At 1-1/8" x 2", inside dimension, the Pinnacle Mini Square is absolutely perfect for checking the edge of your cutting tools for square.
