Review on πŸ“ Starrett 33H-12-4RTCAL: 12" Combination Square with NIST-Traceable Calibration Certificate and Data by Kyle Rose

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Precise and well made.

Replaces the old cheap square aluminum case that has worn down to stainless steel after use. I was worried that the steel body would be too heavy, but it's much thinner than the aluminum body, so the weight difference is minimal. All surfaces are ground so it's much more accurate than cheap squares that still have flight marks and big bevels. This one has a smooth stainless steel blade, I would recommend a satin finish instead which is much easier to read. I had a spare in the protractor so I swapped them out.

Pros
  • The square head is forged, hardened steel with smooth black enamel.
Cons
  • disappears
