Combination squares are essential for wood, masonry or metal household projects.
The combination square is easily overlooked in a household project. There are many to choose from, however, we wanted to highlight Swanson square especially due to it’s low entry price. Let’s take a look at why this is a great tool for your next project.
Heavy-duty at a low price
We have found a combination square made by Swanson in the $9 to $11 range on Amazon, Home Depot and Lowes. However, the low price shouldn’t fool you. This is just as heavy-duty as many of the combination squares with a higher price tag. This one boasts of a die-cast zinc body that ensures it will last for a long time no matter what you subject it to. You can leave it lying around your metal woodworking area without a problem. The stainless steel blade features precision-etched black gradations. The numbers are legible and easy to read.
You can get the most accurate settings thanks to its spring-loaded blade. It also comes with a level made from an acrylic vial, which is known for its durability to impact. A brass scriber is also included.
