Well, other than Shorty...
Largest is a 10" along the blade. I seem to get a bit of use out of all of these...

Steven,
You are not the only one, I keep my hand tools in plastic shoe boxes and I have a shoe box full of squares.
It looks like you are off to a good start Steven.

These are the ones used most often, there are a few more floating around in different tool boxes.

Don't get into a p_____ contest with Jim.

Those were just the wood handled ones....... I'd need a bigger bench for the all metal ones...
Starrett's "big boy" combo square head, which periodically comes up on this forum as an example of... something. What is clear however is that you absolutely must have one to participate in a square pissing match.
I have a Framing square,AND a carpenter's square.....when I need a large square..
I have exactly two squares, a combination square and one of those big carpenter(?) squares. Do plan to pick up a framing square, though.
Add a speed square to the collection, you won't regret it. They are good for angles.
A person can make their own squares if desired. My hunt for a large square with a wooden stock has me thinking of making one.

Part of today's haul...

Was a 12" square. Spent $18 today, going along a part of the World's Longest Yard Sale....
My ideal "set" of squares would be these: die makers square, 4, 6, 12, and H 8 combo squares, ground edge framing (rafter) square, 4, 6, 10 bevels 3" and 8" protractors, 8" dividers, 2, 4, 6 engineers squares, 1 pair stair gauges. I could do all "I" do with those and no others. I have others but seldom use any of them. I just need the die maker, the H8 and a good 8" protractor. Seven or eight hundred would do it.
