Customer Rating: Summary: Can't get any better Comment: What can you say, except it's made by Starrett. They are expensive but worth it.
Customer Rating: Summary: Even better than I expected Comment: Like almost everyone else here, I put off buying a premium combination square because of cost, and made do with cheaper combos, simple engineer's squares, various rules, etc. Further, I hesitated because opinions on Starrett's quality varies among machinists and from tool-to-tool. Many prefer Browne & Sharpe or Japanese lines like Mitutoyo. In the end, I finally broke down and bought the Starrett, really as much because it's the only commonly-available premium combination square as for any other reason - and couldn't be happier with it. It is accurate and smooth. It's actually one of those few tools where you feel the quality every time you pick it up. It's a pleasure to use it, so much so that I intend to pick up one of the 6" versions as well.
Customer Rating: Summary: Just do it Comment: Hemmed and hawed over the price. Finally had to buy one for a class that didn't want me to use the General I got at Home Depot for a about 1/5 the price. The Starrett is finally worth the money. The quality difference is huge. It will be the last one you buy.
Customer Rating: Summary: If you need accuracy in a square Comment: Starrett C33H-12-4R 12-Inch Combination Square with Square Head Only One spends this much money for a square to get accuracy. Starrett is world renowned for accuracy in their tools. However, the first unit shipped by Amazon was not square when checked against 3 different machinist's squares. Amazon promptly replaced the first unit and the 2nd model is square as expected. Thanks, Amazon.
Customer Rating: Summary: Starrett combination square Comment: I recentley ordered the Starrett comb. square that I needed in my furniture shop for a long time as my old square was not accurate to say the least. I find the new Starrett everything I had hoped for, right on the money for 90 and 45 degrees, well machined and marked, and smooth to adjust. My only regret is that I did not get one sooner.
