> 3 dayNice little square that fits well in a pocket with no sharp edges or pointy triangle tips to stab fingers when reaching around for something. Wish it was 10-15% bigger but thats life. Perfect for checking blade & fence squareness. Wide enough to stand well on its own. Not sure the center finding feature will get much use--the pins will surely be off on their own somewhere by the time they might prove useful. Too bad they cant slide in to the square somehow to be at the ready. US made.

> 3 dayI was disappointed after receiving this nifty tiny square but Im going to keep it. Its a little under two thou off on the outside and about a thou on the inside, plus the inside has a tiny hump on the short leg near the corner. I may try to correct it with stones but that will destroy the anodizing...probably will keep it around as quick reference or maybe gift it to a woodworking friend. I really like the compact size and chose this one over some of the excellent steel squares made in the Czech Republic, which cost far less, because this one is nice and thick at 5/8 where the steel ones are 1/4 or less. The centering pins/holes are also a handy feature for a decent rough centerline marking. Generally I dont care about finish quality as long as its serviceable and without major failures - for those that are overly concerned with this, my square in blue did have a couple of those little lighter spots as shown in other reviews and it was also really dark to where it almost appears black without direct decent lighting (kind of a very dark indigo but still on the blue side). For the price, even considering USA-stuff, I expected this to be square-square, and especially so given the very short leg lengths. Its ok. If you need the true accuracy, even a workshop grade machinists square will be far better than what I received and for less than half the price of this you can get toolmakers grade. But Im keeping it.

Greater than one weekThis little square is great for machine setup and finding center of board edges! DFM products are made in the USA and are as well made as other brands made in the USA for about half the price. Glad I picked one of the up for the shop!

> 3 dayNice handy square small enough to put in pocket or even in an apron pocket. Check square on hard to reach areas or when clamps are in the way. Check chisels to keep them square when sharpening too.

> 3 dayVery handy, very accurate, I made a special spot to in my brad tip bits wooden holder to keep the center finder pins handy. If I didnt do that I would have lost them. Great little tool to have on hand. It truly is a square square.
