Comparison of Double Squares - Starrett ($80) vs iGaging ($32)

Date: 2019-09-02

Have you ever wondered why the Starrett Combination Squares and the Double Squares cost so much in comparison to the same tools from iGaging (and others).  I wondered about it a lot and it cost me dearly.  I finally decided to just go ahead and buy a Starrett and find out why the premium pricing exists.  It is definitely better than the iGaging Double Squares, but in the future, I will just settle for the less expensive brands.

Over there we have a woodworking blog, tool store, links to videos, and plans (and related detailed videos for a fee) for our PopUp Workbench (and future builds).

I am no longer using Patreon in spite of any statement to the contrary you might see in a video uploaded before October, 2020.
