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.

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.

True, but a lot of use don't have a Menards nearby. Amazon ships fast and returns are easy if there is a problem. TU OP!

A square will be needed for that. Maybe they can spare a square.

I blew my wife's mind when I showed her my rafter squares and told her they were squares. Every time I bring it up it sends her into a sputtering rage.
