    I bought a set from Harborfreight for $9.99. They seemed OK, but I had my brother (he's a machinist for a bio-medical products company) check them out against his standards.

    He tweaked the smallest one, but pronounced them accurate! YMMV!

    You might think I haven't contributed much to the world, but a large number
    of the warning labels on tools can be traced back to things I've done...

        A bit late to the square party Herb but... I also purchased a set of Groz from Highland WW about 4 years ago. After I had my freind that works in the store pull a Starrett out of the locked case and check square on the 2"-4"-6" in the set. Great purchase and I use all three sizes in various situations as TS.. BS.. jointer fence and fences on jigs and fixtures.

        Well worth the $10 per in the set IMO....

        Enjoy... !

            If you are still shopping you can buy made in USA squares from mcmaster-carr for $10-14 each. Their "Pro-Value" is actually PEC which is great quality tools.
