For those interested in country of origin, the Johnson square appears to be made in China. For a buck more this Empire is made in USA.

I own this square and it has rusted terribly over several years.

If you can get yourself to Menards, these are $4.98 everyday price ($4.43 after rebate).

A bonus to buying a cheap square in-store is that you can doublecheck the accuracy before purchase.
