I have bought a lot of US made products in the past and at times have been sorely disappointed by their quality. But this Starrett combination square is clearly something else. It is precise - helped me check my other squares - light, easy on the eyes and has something nice about it. It reached me in 7 days flat coming all the way to India from the US. The metallurgy, the precision of the markings and the edges are remarkable and a delight. I hope it lasts me the rest of my life.
