Product Description
Complete combination set feature the combination square with a center head and with a reversible protractor. As the name indicates, this tool can be used for many different purposes - a complete substitute for a whole set of common solid try squares, a 45 degree miter, a depth gauge, a height gauge, a marking or scribing gauge, a level, a plumb and, by withdrawing the blade, it can also be used as a precision rule. This saves littering the workbench with too many tools, each being necessary but may be used less. This results in the goal of all good craftsmen - better accuracy and greater efficiency.

High Quality Precision
By kevan d western
This is a very high quality precision instrument that willprovide years of reliable service. It has very well defined,clearly legible, engraved markings as fine as 1/64".I used one extensively years ago and took the quality granted.The past few years I've been purchasing and using lower costcompetitor's models. (Bad decision) It's not that the othermodels are vastly inferior, because generally, they're fairly close.If you don't use a tool like this very often, you may not notice the difference.Even if you do, it may take a while to notice the true benefits.The precision and accuracy help minimize the small, cumulative errors thatbuild up and finally reveal themselves late in the assembly process.This is an investment in error avoidance.To me, that's worth every penny.

By San N. Dinh
after trying out several brands, I decided to give this one a try. I am impressed with the build quality and precision feel of this instrument. All markings are clear, movement is very smooth, rule is table top flat, unlike the cheaper variety. The built-in scriber is truly heavy-duty. Highly recommended for woodworking!

By steve middleton
If you want the best - this is it. I've worked machine shop and layout work in the plant where I've been employed the last 27 years, and I've found that if a combination set isn't made by Brown & Sharp or Starrett, it probably isn't accurate. You may think that a tool of this price and caliber is not suited for woodworking, but that's not true. I use one in my wood shop at home and wouldn't be without it. This particular model has the satin chrome finish on the blade, which isn't prone to rust, tarnish, or discoloration. It also has the reversing protractor which is a big help in laying out angles. It is especially useful in laying out miters and compound miters on structural material ( 2x4's, etc.). Buy one, learn to use it correctly, take care of it, and it will last you a lifetime - it's worth every penny of the purchase price.
