615 forum posts 21 photos	When I moved into this house, I found part of a combination square in a cupboard. Last week I finally bought a new one. At the weekend, I found the rusty ruler part of the old square in another cupboard. I cleaned up the ruler on a flap wheel, and oiled it. It fits one of the old parts I found. I will now use the old square for rough work, and the new one for more precise measurement. I think there is an old saying which covers this situation...

2785 forum posts 87 photos	A few years back, when I moved into a rented house I also found an engineers square - along with some toolmakers clamps, files, a micrometer, and best of all bench shears. Spoke to the landlord and he didn't want them so they left with me. Russell
