Cool video , thanks! Out of passing interest, the easily cleaned smooth finished paint used on some Starrett square heads is a big advantage for use in dirty environments; where the rough (often called & sold as 'wrinkle finish') paint quickly becomes filthy and is very difficult to clean.
Thank you for your comment. I've never thought of using these in a greasy environment like a machine shop, because I only do woodworking. What you say makes sense. I guess the forged steel Starrett can be cleaned / wiped much easier than the "wrinkle finish". Thank you for comment! Cheers from Bavaria!
Combination squares are not tool room squares. They're all close enough for the kind of work I do too. I have a 12" Lufkin I use a lot and a 6" Starrett. Plus a number of others I use less often.
thank you for the video. Have you tried checking the squareness against a precision engineering square? That would probably be a good test for someone considering spending a considerable amount more on a combination square. I have the Bahco and have been very happy with it until I realised my metric scale is out by almost a mm over the length! And I thought it was my cutting accuracy that was the problem!! :)
Hi, thank you for your video, it was extremelly helpfull! I just have one question: as I was watching the video, its seams to me that the last square is not a stanley, but a Starrett (I belive I read that in the tool during the video. Probably this is why it doesn't have the black color so vivid as the others 2. Is it that right?
The satin chrome finish eliminates the glaring making it easier to read. You could combine the textured cast iron head with the Satin finish blade and you would have a nice square. That Bacho that you love so much is complete TRASH!
Thank’s for all. Now i know what is better for me
Great video, very very useful, thank you !

Late answer...but I've checked my MH10 to a engineer square according to DIN875/1 and the Starrett is as square as the engineer square
All you need to do is turn the Adjuster around so the Notch is on the other side on the Baco one.
finally, a good video on the subject. thanks!
Can you please ad the model numbers in the discerption.

Thank you for your question! You are right! I got a little confused with all the models...
Hi, do you have a link to where you buy the C33 MH from. Thanks.
amazon?
The backo is the best one there plus it has a strong pin but none of them are that good you need to get a more and Wright

I think the cheaper ones are indeed not very well quality controlled. This particular one I had was absolutely fine!
You just have to learn to read the square from right to left with inches on the top, they teach us that in shop here.
That doesn't make sense since the markings don't go all the way through to the body, so there would be guesswork involved.
well that's just bad practise, borne from bad tool design!

Bahco tools are overpriced crap!
Can't say that for the particular one, but the quality is definitely not the best...
