DFM Small Square and Marking Center Finder Precision MADE IN USA (Blue)

DFM is producing high quality tools for a reasonable price. No regrets on my DFM acquisition!

I was disappointed after receiving this nifty tiny square but Im going to keep it. Its a little under two thou off on the outside and about a thou on the inside, plus the inside has a tiny hump on the short leg near the corner. I may try to correct it with stones but that will destroy the anodizing...probably will keep it around as quick reference or maybe gift it to a woodworking friend. I really like the compact size and chose this one over some of the excellent steel squares made in the Czech Republic, which cost far less, because this one is nice and thick at 5/8 where the steel ones are 1/4 or less. The centering pins/holes are also a handy feature for a decent rough centerline marking. Generally I dont care about finish quality as long as its serviceable and without major failures - for those that are overly concerned with this, my square in blue did have a couple of those little lighter spots as shown in other reviews and it was also really dark to where it almost appears black without direct decent lighting (kind of a very dark indigo but still on the blue side). For the price, even considering USA-stuff, I expected this to be square-square, and especially so given the very short leg lengths. Its ok. If you need the true accuracy, even a workshop grade machinists square will be far better than what I received and for less than half the price of this you can get toolmakers grade. But Im keeping it.

I find this little square easier to use compared to try squares. I have a few DFM tools, and every one is quality made.

Great little precision square. Solid, light, well balanced and dead on square.

Just as advertised.

I find it very handy for small projects.

I just got this, and so far Im impressed. I honestly dont have a square that I trust to make a real comparison to, but it passes the pencil test, with corners closed even when I use a Mitutoyo12 inch scale in butted against the legs to extend the length of the drawn lines. Laying either leg on a granite inspection plate and shining a flashlight behind it does not show light coming through at all. And the legs caliper out evenly from end to end as well, with no measurable taper. Pricey, but you do get what you pay for.

Great quality and very handy tool to add to the shop.

This is a nice solid, small center finding square. I am looking forward to using it. It is currently a little cold out in my garage, but I should be out there soon.

Great quality USA made product
