Those appear to be very nice squares. I was surprised to buy a square at Home Depot. When I got home I drew a line on a board and then flipped it over and drew another line and it was obvious that the square wasn't square. The lines were not parallel.

I assume your's aren't like that.

With the exception of the smallest square, all are dead on. tested against ecemmerich.
But then, these are pricey beasts class2 or better. And the 18: 00 is calibrated against SquareMaster . Although I have for kicks and addictive impulse purchased a square or two from local hardware store and to my surprise, the 24 inch I got from lowes was very accurate.

It's a German company. they manufacture hand tools and also class N squares similar to
Robert Sorby with slightly tighter tolerance.

HI Mike

That's cracks me up LOL

" Master Square is comparatively lightweight (65 pounds) ,with Travel Case
1 AA Grade 5-Face Ceramic Square (3" x 18" x 24") "

I guess you must supply your own 2 wheeler

Steve, these are very easy to fix. If the arms on the square are too close together, hit in the inside corner with a center punch, twice if needed. If they are too far apart, hit the outside corner with the punch. Mind you, I don't think this will work for squares that are WAY out, but it will work for most.
