I have had some
crappy ones in the past but this Stanley is square, and a hell of a lot
cheaper than the Starret.

I actually have a *gasp* Craftsman combo square that's accurate, but I
still prefer my Starretts.

It goes beyond square, the Starrett rule is much easier to read, the
mechanism works better, the blade edges are truly parallel, and the
ends of the blade are truly square with the edges.

I use the Craftsman outdoors, on construction type stuff, and it's the
one I loan out. G
