              Comments about 6'' Combination Square:

              I purchased this product for the metric measurement. On the web site and the catalog, this 6" combination square was pictured with black etchings for each measurement which would make it easy to read. However, the actual product was all silver and hard to read regardless of the lighing. Also, both ends of the ruler had a burr which needed to be removed - calling into question its accuracy. As a woodworker needing the accuracy, I would look at either the Starrett or the Incra models. Both are more expensive but may not be the best choice for a job site. Both Starrett and Icra models would be great for a woodworking shop where ease of use and accuracy is a requirement.
