i have been using plastic ones. is it worth it to get aluminum? if so why?
The markings on plastic squares will be stamped whereas metal tends to be laser etched or similar. Laser engraved markings are more precise and won't wear off over time. For example, if you use the notched cutouts on these squares for dragging a pencil to scribe lines, you'll quickly ruin a plastic square.

Says your wife.
Yeah, she's a great ego booster. Sucks when she's driving though 50 feet in front of her looks like a foot away

Using both craftsman steel and milwaukee aluminum i can say the aluminum one is milled and feels more precise. Never had a plastic one.
