It's extremely hard to slide the ruler despite how tight or loose you set it.

>> iGaging Combination Square Premium 2-Piece 24" 4R << (other review(s) below)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an update. I had previously reviewed the 12" combination squares (which are both still working perfectly several years later) and since then I have also purchased the 6" and 4" double squares, and they are both just as spectacular as the 12-in combination squares. And the smaller double square usually lives in my shop apron because I use it on virtually every project I build. It's a life-saver and has prevented a great many errors on my part. (Hmm. Let's see ... "Yeah this looks OK, I'll go ahead and.... O wait maybe I'd better check that right angle again. Oops. Glad I did that..." It's that sort of situation.)
Recently I checked my old 24" combination square. It was cheap when I bought it and the reason why is that the rule is stainless but the block is aluminum. It can no longer be made to hold it's accuracy on angles. I've had it for years and it's now past the point of being able to true up the right angle with a small file. The steel has cut into the aluminum enough that the eventually the angle cannot be trued [So much for the $12 spent at the local "bargain store" about 10 year ago. :-)]. Time for a new one.
Today I received the 24" version and I've just unpacked it. It is absolutely gorgeous (if you like well-built tools, anyway) and while I haven't yet done a full check on its accuracy (45 and 90 degree angles, distances), side by side its first 12 inches match the full 12 inches of either of the two Igaging combination squares I already have. Affter I do a full set of checks (accuracy of both angles and lengths) I'll update this review. (That may be a couple of weeks - I have desk and router-table design/build/finish projects to complete first...)
One good point here: unlike either of the two double squares and and one of the 12-inch combination squares this one came with its certificate of calibration. Another good point: this square is just as accurate as the well-known "expensive high-end" version, and to my eyes its finish is just as good, AND it costs less than half as much.
Now to find a drawer long enough to put this in ... (the case is LOOOOONG, and I'm not complaining one bit. I will note in passing however: the Starret square comes in a carboard box (or it did the last time I looked at on and decided not to buy it.)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I already had one of these 12-inch combination squares, but it was the one without the angle guage or the centering attachment. I needed both and in my opinion (I previouly had the Starrett combination square and so far as I can tell, this one (a) is at least its equal accuracy-wise, and (b) this one is more heavily built and finished VERY well - and the ENTIRELY SUBJECTIVE impression of quality I get from this one is slightly higher than that which I got from Starrett. (I'd still have it but I had a friend who does woodworking as a hobby and when we did projects together he often told me how much he liked the Starrett. When he retired I gave it to him, and he reports that it still works perfectly, so I'm NOT knocking it).
And yes there is probably no way that the fact that this one costs just a little more than a third of the price of the Starrett wouldn't influence my opinion.
When I get around to it I will buy the 24-inch version of this square, and in the unlikely event that I were to need yet another 12-inch combination square I would definitely buy it again. I have also recommended it to friends and family.
The only (nit-picky) negative point I can come up with about this square is that my first one came with its certificate of calibration (it was just the square - no extra attachments). This one didn't.
But taking both of them to a friend who is a machininst, he could find NO problems with its accuracy (and he must have liked it because he bought one after measuring mine).
It is highly accurate, very well finished, and sturdily built - and it comes with a very nice case.
Note: I'm a retired professional wood worker and Starretts are no longer in the budget.
However, that having been said, this combination set is SHOCKINGLY accurate for what it is (which is basically a Chinese knockoff of a Starrett set) and will be more than accurate enough for hobby/light-commercial use. I bought it because I needed a square finder for some bar stock for a project, and ended up using it along with a digital caliper I already had to do most of the measuring for said project. The etching is sharp and crisp, making it easy to read, and the thumbscrew locks actually work as expected. The packaging is no-frills but does include a padded storage case. I don't have the equipment necessary to verify the packaging's claims as to accuracy but what I could check tested out as right on the money.
If you use the set in a high-humidity environment, you might want to wipe it down with a good rust inhibitor (I've found that Mobil1 synthetic motor oil makes an excellent inhibitor - wipe on, wipe off, done) when storing the set's components as there's no rust inhibition included within or on the packaging or storage case.
It's no $200+ super-accurate combination set, but it's an excellent choice for the $, especially for those of us that can't afford to drop that kind of money on a fancy ruler/protractor.
Appreciate the fact that it came with a carrying case.
Appears to be made of good quality material and accurate for the price. My issue is the locking mechanism. You have to tighten it down on it to such a degree to remove any play it becomes impossible to loosen. For the price I would expect better.

This set allows me to feel as though I have invested in a quality tool that will give me the precision I need without questioning its accuracy
