Great set. The tiny sqaure is very handy.

Just a heads up write your name on these sqaures bc ppl will borrow it all the time when on a project.

It just holds the pipe up off the work surface. It's like the "lanyard hole" of the Multitool world.

I can't imagine there is much difference. Just check to make sure your square is accurate. If you want a pretty red one, then Milwaukee will work. If you're just buying it for the utility, I would just go with a Harbor Freight or you can usually find good deals on the Swanson squares.

Got these last year, will be back to get more for gifts. They are real nice and made in the USA.
agreed. paid the same the last time the deal was around. very good quality. super clean edges, no bumps. a quality product. the white text is thick and easy to read. best of all, the red stands out, so its easy to find. needed it as a straight cut guide for my dremel saw.

I own the Harbor Freight square and am trying to resist the urge to buy the Milwaukee set!

I've noticed there is a difference in aluminum quality. Empire and Milwaukee are easily dented compared to Swanson or Johnson.

It's nice to be able to clamp my swanson speed square to work and use it as a circ saw guide. That would be a capital offense with most measuring devices.

Quote from wasabisohot :
I got these last year and the price and finish were great. However, when checking for square, I did the line test and both small and big were out of square. I returned them. Ymmv. I invested in a small DFM square off amaz*n (albeit multiple fold more expensive) since I still needed to square up my miter saw. Much happier.
Thank you for mentioning DFM Tool Works; I hadn't heard of them previously. I ordered a full set from them (looks like good quality, and made in the USA), and plan to return the Milwaulkee cheapo from this deal back to home depot. I like that you can pay a few bucks more to DFM to get your name or small custom message etched into the square. For those looking to save a few bucks, they have a scratch n dent sale going on.

These are basically modified empire squares. It is possible to get perfectly square samples but it takes some digging. I brought a machinist square with me and found a perfect large square after checking 5 of them. These aren't supposed to be precise but I'm cheap and patient lol.

Swanson is fine, but check any of the cheap models. Besides using for 'square,' I doubt if 1 out of a 100 knows how to use a rafter square, or what all those marks are for. But, the red is pretty. Smilie

Personally, I find a 12" more useful, but nice to have a full set along with a decent framing square and a good combination square like a Starrett that granted, is an investment.

Just draw a square line on a board from one edge, flip the square over as in left to right or right to left from the same edge and see if the line matches. It is that simplistic. Now, all of those graduate marks will take a little more time to verify.

Do similar when checking levels by flipping end for end for level and flipping side to side for plumb to see if the bulb is in the same exact spot. Even a $10 Stanley will work if you check before buying and using.
