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.

but eventually ill need one
If you aren't a carpenter you don't need this. A speed square or combination square is a better general purpose tool to collect dust in your drawer IMO.

Is this one stainless steel, or any other non rusting material?

Fwiw I'm pretty happy with the one from the dollar tree.

Me as well. I wonder why a thing worth a dollar on dollar tree being sold for $5 is on the front page of slickdeals.

It appears that the 8"x12" square that Dollar Tree sells is metric. LMAOLMAOLMAO

It is metric on one side and imperial (inches) on the other. Oddly the inch side is a mix of 1/16" (normal) and 1/12" (weird). The raised white marking wears out over time (I'm guessing the Johnson's black-on-steel markings are recessed for wear resistance). Otherwise the Dollar Tree square does the job for non-critical usage and stays in my cramped go-to tool bucket (rectangular Tidy Cat 35 lb car litter pail) due to its low profile (a rafter square takes up a bit more space).

Dollar Tree's small crow bar is decent too especially for the price.

One sided is odd and limits the orientation with which you could use the square.

From the website for the Empire square:
- Durable protective epoxy coating prevents rust and corrosion
