Default Engineer's square

How do the Groz engineer's squares measure up for setting up a TS, BS,
etc? Rockler has them (set of 3) on sale for $29.99 instead of $39.99. I
think the squares may also come in handy when installing a vise on my
workbench to be (so I
need a larget one for that?).


I think that's the same set I bought at Woodcraft. The precision of
(IIRC) 0.0006" is marked on the blades, but no indication of whether
that's overall or per inch. In either case, I set the 6" up against a
pricey machinists square on a flat surface and there was absolutely no
light between the blades. I'm happy.
