Title: A waste of money. The aluminum is too soft if dropped.
Review: It looks pretty. However, the first time it is dropped, it will badly ding because of the soft aluminum alloy; especially if it lands on a corner like mine did. I dropped mine off the table saw from less than 30" and the ding was so bad I had to file it off in order for the square to function correctly again! It is still square after the drop. However, since I had to file a chunk of the inside edge, it will not make a good straight edge anymore.You are much better off with the imported machinist's squares such as those by iGaging. At least these are made from steel! Sure, using a low grade alloy is great for Incra as it saves on tooling costs, but it is simply too soft to be used in a work environment in my opinion. As much as I say buy American, only do so when the tool can stand up to normal wear and tear.
