Review on Starrett C33MEH 300 Combination Square by Anatoly Yorgason

This is the same combo square that was considered as a 12" model. I chose the dual scale to make it easier to measure in millimeters, but use the inch scale when the material calls for it. The hardened steel is less brittle than the cast iron handle and the brushed chrome ruler won't tarnish like a traditional steel ruler. If you pay as much money for an item down to 0.01 of its total length, you can spend the extra money to make sure it lasts as long as you own it. The usual method is to stick the tape on white melamine and turn it over. This method appears to be accurate in length. Some reviews mention that smooth paint on a hardened steel square makes it cheap, but that's not the case for me. smart personal preference. The scribe will never fall, so don't worry. He seems to live up to Starrett's standards. I'm glad I bought it and I couldn't find it anywhere cheaper than Revain.
