Very good blocks
Bought two sets, so four total.Cleaned them off with mineral spirits and some denaturated alcohol and measured all dimensions, and each end, with Mitutoyo calipers (precision to 0.0005″). They all landed on the 0 but depended on the pressure applied, meaning they are probably somewhere in their stated 0.0002″ tolerance. The middles all dipped to X.9995″ with the same pressure applied to the edges, but stayed at 0 with lighter pressure, so each of the blocks has a very mild dip in the middle, but that’s ok.I also used a DIN 875/00 knife-edge reference square to check for square. They’re good enough for wood working and some rough machining setups. Some corners were so good there was zero light leak. Others were off a bit. Definitely not ultra-precise blocks, but more than good enough for most needs, especially at this price point.Blocks like these make EXCELLENT clamping and square blocks for building boxes or other things where traditional full size woodworking clamping squares won’t fit. They also won’t flex or bend, so you can apply significant clamping pressure to use these to force tight joints into square.

Good value set of blocks.
Some have noted problems with these blocks, but mine seem very good indeed!. The blocks are square, true, flat, and have a near mirror finish when you get the oil/grease off. These do come (like nearly all such tools) wrapped in oilcloth paper. Not as bad as cosmolene, but it does require degreasing followed by a proper waxing to preservw finish and prevent oxidation. The packaging is not great: just wrapped in the paper, then in a plastic bag, and finally in a light cardboard box. Just be sure to check for damage after cleaning the blocks. As stated, mine arrived in good shape. RECOMMENDED

Perfectly Square, Built Like a Tank
These blocks are dead accurate and solid. Great for squaring up jigs, tool setup, or clamping small parts. Threaded holes are clean and consistent. Feels like a machinist tool at a woodworker’s price.

Affordable 123 blocks for perfectly square scale model assembly
I don’t use these for high-precision machining; my work is primarily with scale models and model railroading. For that, they are perfect. They are solid, heavy, and perfectly square and when I checked them with a quality square, they were spot-on.These are incredibly affordable compared to buying similar tools from specialized hobby stores. I’ve seen some reviews that question the precision, but for my purpose of assembling model structures and ensuring everything is perfectly aligned, they work great. They are also perfect to use as weights for holding down glued parts. For any modeler, these are a fantastic value.

Very good for the price
I saw complaints about thye sticky oil on these blocks. That didn’t bother me, I like my tools to come in a protective coating. This stuff man not be MIL-SPEC Cosmoline, but it’s darned close, and that’s a GOOD thing. I wiped them down with solvent (naptha, I think?), which worked great. Then I ran a Q-tip through the holes to extract most of what was inside, leaving a slight coating, which I wanted. Any residual oil inside the holes is viscous enough that it hasn’t oozed out. I don’t know what steel this is, but I suspect it will rust pretty easily, so I run an oil-rag-in-a-can (a la Paul Sellers), over the blocks whenever I’ve used them. They haven’t rusted at all, as of now.I saw reviews that talked about the inaccuracy of the hole-allignment. They are correct, the holes aren’t aligned perfectly. That doesn’t bother me, as I don’t connect the blocks. For me, the holes only serve to make the blocks lighter, so that’s OK for me.I also saw reviews that said the dimentions weren’t correct – it was clear that they received METRIC blocks. Mine were spot-on in inches.For quick checks on 90° blade and fence set-up, these are just what I needed, For setting fence-to-blade distance at precisely 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 inches, they are quick and accurate. That’s all I wanted.I suspect the steel is soft enough that dropping one on concrete will do major damage. So try not to drop them on concrete. Me? I’m clumsy, and will likely drop them, time to time. I put pieces of old carpet (free from the dumpster) under my bench and all my major power tools. God willin’ an’ if the creek don’t rise, these will last me a lifetime.

For a woodworker, these are excellent. Extreme accuracy
I don’t know about metal workers, but for a woodworker, these blocks make life easy and there are potentially a hundred uses for these. Besides being used as a square for saw blades, they make great stop blocks and measuring tools (1″, 2″, 3″, 4″, 5″, 6″ and more if you buy more than two of these). I use them to drill pilot holes for 3/8″ dowels in wood slats, and they make perfectly spaced holes on 2x4s, 1x4s, 2x6s and 1x6s (benches and tables for example). They also allow me to make perfect countersink holes with a 3/8″ countersink bit because it works as a stop collar for the bit. If you’re a machinist looking for a high end set of these blocks, this may not be what you’re looking for, but if you’re a woodworker, you will love these tools and you’ll find all sorts of uses for them!

Accurate and smooth
These blocks are dimensionally accurate, which is their entire reason for existence so they deserve 5 starts. They come with a little machining oil on them but that’s no issue. No rough edges. If you need 123 blocks these are just as good as any other dimensionally accurate blocks

Gut verpackt in Ölpapier angekommen, keine Spur von Rost. Erst mal entfettet und mit dem guten Mitutoyo Messchieber kontrolliert, alle Maße 0. Das ist so genau genug für mich. Messung mit Bügelmesschraube folgt, ist für Holzwerken aber egal. Alle Gewinde passen und auch die Durchgangsbohrungen. Das sind 100 Punkte!

Bella gente, il prodotto arriva in scatolina di cartone con stanpato il nome e codice prodotto. All’interno non troverete istruzioni o foglio illustrativo ma solo i due blocchetti incartati con del celofan, in una bustina di plastica…consiglio di munirvi di straccio e petrolio per una bella grassata. Prodotto consigliato per hobbistica.
