The knurled nut doesn't hold the metal ruler securely on the mark

I have my dad's combination square - there are actually two of them but one of them lost part of the ruler. The combination square is so important in construction when it comes to marking lines, checking angle, adjusting saws, marking grooves and so on. Since I tend to lose tools during the workday, I wanted to replace my second combo angle. At first it seemed as if my father's 60-year-old combination square was reproduced exactly in this model. But on a more rigorous test, measuring 3/4" of the front deck board above the edge joist, the ruler began to slip off the 3/4" mark. Neither I nor the assistant could tighten the nut enough to keep the ruler in place. Compared to my dad's speed square, the mom is smaller and doesn't seem to get the job done. Because of this slipping, you cannot quickly draw a long line on wood with the combination square, since the pressure of the carpenter's pencil on the edge of the ruler pushes it out of the right dimension. The kit also includes a speed square, and it's bright, legible, and its dark brown/black color differs from the silver and red my build team brings to us. Website that allows me to track it. An overview of the ROFMAPLE carpenter's square and combination square, 7" aluminum alloy square and 12" combination ruler for woodworkers.
