Nothing wrong with a good speed square, but I hope by responding to
the post about the plastic drafting triangle that you're not
suggesting a person should *not* have such a thing... I have several,
and while not a replacement for a speed square (or a good precision
try square or machinist's square) they are a *very* useful item to
have around the shop. That and a good dial caliper. highjack And
for gawd's sake, if any of you don't have a good dial caliper, GET
ONE. This one is a fine choice:

I wind up spending several minutes admiring the calipers when at the
local industrial supply place. I've got a good venier caliper, but not a
really nice dial caliper. It's on my birthday present list, though.

Back to squares, my combination square gets a lot of use. The speed
square seems a little rougher and doesn't get as much use.
