Review on πŸ“ Starrett 13C 6-Inch Double Square - Optimized with Hardened Blade by Evan Hernandez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

High quality at a premium price. It's worth it.

This is my second Starrett square (I also have a large 12 inch 45 degree square). I bought this to replace a small square crown tool that wasn't square at all. In fact, I used this tool for a long time before finally realizing that it wasn't applicable when manually joining the edges of a thick board. This will teach me to carefully check the things I buy before using them! Since adjustment is not possible, this instrument is now a brass and rosewood paperweight. Either way, the Starrett is an excellent tool. It's perfectly square, at least within my ability to measure (by drawing a thin line perpendicular to the straight edge and flipping the square to find a parallel). Seamless customization. It's a good substitute for the engineering-style stationary square and certainly accurate enough for woodworking. It's expensive, but you get a quality American instrument that's clearly made by caring people and will last forever. This is way better than buying cheap junk that will ruin your work and get thrown away.
