Combination square

Corkey123

Just picked up a Tactix woodworking combination square for €8.68 in woodies today

Tested it on digital meter and its more accurate then the Stanley version at €24 (€30 before discount).

Plus it has a brass thumb nut which is vastly superior to the plastic crap on the Stanley Combo Square which if over tightened and results in a very expect 300mm ruler.

Likely to get me another.

The only good thing about travelling about in the back of my dad's transit van as a child was playing with his square. It's a gun, and the 8 year old me won't hear otherwise.

How does it compare to this?

Got to do a test on the accuracy of the Woodies one. Also it have a marking pin in the handle

Woodies Irish, Screwfix English

Certainly you could buy the Magnusson would be a good buy if as accurate - but you can't test it before purchase.

Sorry no link on the Woodies site for it - thanks Davy

I believe the Screwfix one also has a marking pin. I would personally not consider it a bargain then if you can get an equivalent with good reviews for cheaper just because you don't have the equivalent to test and which for all we know may be even more accurate.

You are correct it does have a scribing pin and may well be on similar if not better accuracy.

We will leave it there so
