@@teis79 👍For years I was of the understanding stainless was none magnetic but since learned I was wrong! We now use a good quality stainless here at work that is very magnetic.
The level of magnetism of stainless steel can vary quite a bit depending on the grade. Some stainless steels are weakly or not magnetic at all. Others may have a magnet stick to them surprisingly strongly, just a little weaker than plain low-carbon steel. Many rulers are made of 430 stainless steel which is ferritic and as such quite magnetic.
Hi and thanks for the great information. For a long time I always understood stainless was not magnetic but at work now we use different grades of SS for gears and some of it is quite magnetic so the squares are probably made from stainless! Thanks for watching 😃
Genuine German tools are worth the money, they tend to be accurate and long-lasting (most of my electronics tools are German). German companies are usually helpful, an email direct to them (even though their site is in German) may elicit a response to the stainless question.
Just received my set, looks decent, checked squareness and it appears to be flawless. Very happy with these.
@@teis79 Glad yours are as good as mine! I think for the money they are really good value 👍
@@MikeMakesIt I wouldn't debate about that, you got me convinced 👍🏻 By the way, Presch states that the ruler is stainless.

A nice review! Was the small one as accurate as the larger square?
Yes it was! I couldn’t see any difference between the two.
@@MikeMakesIt Great! I´ll order one, I like the handy size
I also decided to pay a bit more and get a real deal.
There are magnetic grades of ss btw, idk if they are using some of those
Hi thanks for the comments and info. There is stainless that’s magnetic out there. They could be using that! Thanks for watching 👍🏽

Interesting, thanks Ralph. These are German and look good and hopefully will work well but you can pay more!
