Hi again guys,
I have two 4" double squares, an iGaging and a Veritas (link). You were right a couple years ago - these are really handy tools and I use them constantly. The problem is that neither of them slides along the rule very smoothly and both are difficult to "unscrew" when I want to set a different measurement. So I'm ready to upgrade.
Both of these have the locking knob up near the blade.
1) I'm wondering if the type that have the locking knob at the bottom of the square move more smoothly? (I notice Starrett does that.)
2) Can you suggest another brand that doesn't have these drawbacks - Vesper, Starrett, etc?
Thanks again,
Fred
