Customer Reviews

I "discovered" PEC tools of California and was so impressed I bought some of their stuff to put it to the test of daily use. I am still impressed and I now recommend PEC's premium line of solid squares.

PEC's Solid squares are just that - solid metal, no moving parts, and VERY accurate. I have and use several different sizes of solid squares in order to match the square to the job at hand; the price of these squares permits this luxury!

6 inch long blade.
Made from high quality harden tool steel.
Has true right angles; both inside and out.
Beams and blades are precision ground and hardened.
Length of blade is measured from inner edge of beam to the end of the blade.

As expected always great tools

Big Bang for the Buck

Back in May 2020, I purchased the PEC 6-inch solid square from RobCosman.com for $29.95 plus shipping, and I highly recommend it. I use the square to set up my shop tools including my table saw blade, jointer fence, and miter saw blade. Further, I use it to verify the squareness of my other squares. Why this particular square?
1. Reputation. We can personally check for squareness, but such a method has limited accuracy. Ultimately, we need a trusted reference point for squareness. Perhaps we have to go with a company from a country that has a solid reputation, giving confidence in the manufacturing process, quality checks, and accuracy claims. PEC is American made.
2. “Big bang for the buck” versus non-PEC squares. The PEC’s squareness tolerance is 0.0006”. (To put this in perspective, a typical human hair is 0.0030” thick. So the PEC’s accuracy is within 1/5 of a human hair’s diameter.) A comparable Starrett square—with a 0.0002” tolerance—will set you back $165.
3. “Big bang for the buck” versus other PEC squares. You can do the math for yourself. The cost-per-inch for this square is $4.99, lower than all other PEC solid squares.
