Vent: wasted $80 on that fancy aluminum square that claimed to be 'never out of true'

Dropped $80 on that anodized aluminum square that claimed to be 'never out of true' and after 6 months of normal shop use I checked it against my old Stanley and it was off by nearly 1/16 inch across 12 inches, has anyone else had bad luck with those lightweight framing squares?

Yeah man, same thing happened to me with that same brand. @victor_carter51 nailed it, total waste of money.

Fine Woodworking tested those and found they drifted after a few months of use.
