Good Points

16" inch rule. Stainless steel blade with etched imperial and metric scales (wont rust destroying scale and accuracy), Also, less likely to distort than some aluminium ones made by other manufacturers. Life-long tool. Brass hardware for smooth, easy operation and increased durability. Main body made of die-cast zinc alloy. Scriber and Level.

Good value for money.

Bad Points

None.

General Comments

I love this Swanson TC134 16" Pro Combination Square and use it a lot! I have the 6" version too and find this duo a much better arrangement than just having a single 12" combination square. I use the 6" for wood joints mainly and occasionally as a depth gauge; being small enough to fit into some quite tight spaces.

The 16" (on review here) is much better for square and mitre lines on larger wood sections and boards where I would normally have used the 12" before (one made of aluminium, another of steel and both have since "passed away" - I forget the brands).

They are accurate and easy to use. Clear, bright and easy to read scales make mis-reads less likely, reducing; wastage, time and costs, while increasing accuracy, and promoting a better work flow.
