Item: Swanson TC134 16" Pro Combination Square
I have several squares from all price ranges and Swanson gives you a lot for your money. The parts are a bit better than competitors. It is dead square.

This Snap-On WV1745 Mechanic ' s 4 1/2" Jaw Vise is a "bullet" type vice (American style) with the rear screw housing resembling a bullet round.
