Mike Wendell: This one is better then the Johnson. This one locks up with the screw.

Roxie Coker: Nice quality … seems very precise I love the size. The numbers on the ruler are very easy to read. When I place the ruler next to another the measurements are spot on.

mike vandyke: Accurate and handy.

ray: Not many options for a square of this size. Machining work is acceptable. It’s straight and square but a little sharp around the edges. Otherwise, everything about it is solid.

Roscoe: It needed all edges softened with a fine file, but is an OK little square now.

SVelty: Got this as I wanted a smaller unit for setup, IE; table saw blade square, small rip cuts fence to blade, router bit depth, large format plywood saw guide setup, great apron pocket must have for me, love it

Alan G. Anderson: The distance from zero to the 1” was off due to too much material being removed from the end of the ruler. I ended up buying the exact same square from a big box store and it was exact.

Ryan: Very accurate for the reasonable price. So far so good.

Soloviajero: I've had 6" combination squares from Johnson, Irwin and this time Swanson. The first two were heavy and inaccurate, so I didn't expect much for ten bucks when I ordered this one. The Swanson is indeed "rough" as other reviewers have said, however the one I received was dead accurate when tested against a Starrett and two engineer squares of known accuracy. No adjustment was necessary, except to use a diamond stone to soften the sharp edges. The graduations on the blade were clear and readable, the blade lock was well-machined, and the brass lock nut was easy to engage and loosen again. The blade locked securely with little pressure. Except for the rough edges, I could find nothing to complain about with this square. The blade fit in the body of the Johnson square was sloppy, and the lock didn't positively lock the blade. Once the lock knob was tightened on the Johnson, it stuck and was difficult to loosen again. The Irwin was heavy and the blade was disproportionately thin and difficult to read. The Swanson had none of these problems. For the money, due to blade fit and its accuracy, I thought the Swanson was an excellent value. Don't confuse Johnson with Swanson; the Swanson was...
