This review is from: Johnson Level & Tool 400 12-Inch Metal Combination Square (Tools & Home Improvement)

If you need a measurement, this tool might be good enough. If you need an approximate check for squareness, this tool might be good enough. However, if you demand any kind of accuracy, such as for woodworking, or tool set up, then you need to look beyond this particular item. Durability is also questionable, as the rule will flex or bend easily. About the only thing I have been able to use this square for is marking 2x4's to cut for framing....

I picked one of these up for woodworking and it's useless. After a few minutes it became apparent that it is not straight or square. Mine has about 1/16" bow over the 12 length. If accuracy is important, get a Starret. It will cost MUCH more, but it will be accurate.

Not much else but taking up space on your peg board or in your tool belt. It's ok to use for framing or other construction projects, as long as you know how to compensate for it's inaccuracies. I paid much more for this than Amazon's price at the orange borg. To me it isn't even worth what Amazon wants for it.
