    I've got the answer Jerry.

    As to why are houses are built out of square. Because the builders buy their squares from Bunnings.
    I bought one today, fortunately I checked it before I used it. Over 200 mm it was 5 mm out. I returned it and was offered a refund or exchange. As I didn't buy it as a decoration I opted for the exchange, but decided to check it before I left the shop. There were four others on the shelf, all of them were equally inaccurate.
    For crying out loud, it's a simple tool that has to perform only one function, the QA is obviously non-exsistent; what a waste of time and resources.

    I just had a thought, maybe they were intended for Ron.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Nah, Ian, I'd already bought an out of square engineer's square a few months back from Total Tools. When I took it back, the bloke behind the counter didn't believe me. I had to explain to (and show) him how to check a square. The replacement was ok.

    I'm showing my ignorance here, but how do you check it's a square, not an obtuse?

    Draw a line with the square, flip it 180* and compare the line. If the square is accurate the line will be in alignment.

    Two minutes and twenty four seconds to show us that. I could have done it in twenty seconds.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    Exactly!

    That is one of my big gripes about such clips.

    It's is like the "bogged vehicle recovery" clips that start with two minutes of the vehicle sitting in a mudhole while all his mates stand around scratching their heads and finishes with two minutes of his mates all falling about laughing when something breaks during the recovery.

    Between those two there might be ten seconds of the actual recovery..
