Review: Buy quality - I've had a couple of the cheap and nasty lightweight versions that quickly go rusty and leave you unable to read the markings. This will last many years if looked after. Accurate with stainless rule. The only problem I had was one corner of the rule had a minimal burr, but easily corrected with a file.
Review: Value for money - I bought this one and smaller one after going into reviews in great length , brilliant and solid , well worth the money for what I needed

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What reasons are there to get a Starrett instead of this one?**
A: I have both this combination square and a Starrett. The Starrett is, of course, much more expensive; however, the Starrett is more accurate and better made. For woodworking, there are some things for which accuracy is very important. The Irwin square I have is out of square by about 1/128" over its length. If I use this to set the angle of my table saw or to make sure my miter gauge is true. 1/128" over 12 inches may not seem like much but it's enough to cause parts I cut to not fit, particularly cutting a wide board.

The Starrett combination square is one of the few tools that I use every day in my shop.

I expect the Starrett to last my lifetime. In fact, I have a Starrett protractor head and rule that I inherited. It's decades old, but it's completely serviceable and a pleasure to use.

**Q: Made in USA?**
A: Made in China.

**Q: Is the blade etched?**
A: Yes it is

**Q: Does this have metric markings as well?**
A: one side is in units of 1/8th inch along one edge and 1/16th inch along the other edge
on the ‘flip side’ it in units of 1/32nd inch along one edge and in metric i.e. centimetres (cm) & millimetres (mm) along the other edge
it is a a good tool - well made and good value for the money
