Product has been offered to me for review. Great bar set for woodworking. Plastic case seems durable, has 2 latches, is compact. Insert foam is rigid type. Great for secure holding power but difficult to take bars out (a finger notch would help greatly). Case layout is compact with 2 columns of bars (tight spacing makes it slightly more difficult to take bars out). Anodized orange color is awesome for visibility (makes white numbers easy to read AND makes it very easy to find even the smaller bars on my white outfeed/work table).The hard anodized paint has a shimmering iridescence that has really grown on me. The surface is extremely durable - hard to scratch and is easy to clean. The white laser etched numbers are some of the larger size I've seen with setup bars - makes it easier on old eyes! Also, every bar has 2 sides with the numbers; even the 1/16 bar! Most other setup bars have numbers on one side only.My calipers are broken so I could not confirm the "2" & "3" for the 1/2/3 block. For all measurements, I used a Starrett #436 1 inch micrometer that was zero'd and referenced.No bar was unacceptable for woodworking use. The largest deviations were 3 mils. I measured at 3 points across each bar. All bars were consistently uniform (w/i 1 mil across length).I recently purchased another brand (it's black with white numbers). I favor its case and insert foam BUT hands down, I prefer the Nietra orange bars for easy to read use.I wish manufacturers would include two additional size bars - 5/8" and 1/32" (like a shim).Overall, I highly recommend the Nietra set. I may receive a set for free but after using it, I would not hesitate to buy it.

Considering the low price I was hoping for 'close enough' accuracy but every dimension is dead-on where it should be. GREAT bang for the buck.Pros:-Super Accurate-No damage, clean, well machined-Nice, sturdy case keeps them safe-Additional ruled dimensions printed as well (use them like a ruler)Cons:-Would have been a bonus to have the decimal (0.5") dimensions printed as well as the fraction (1/2"), but that's a quick user upgrade with a sharpie. (I had trouble thinking of any cons)

These are fantastic for setting up saw blades or router bits! I also love them for doing dados in boards. Functionality is great and they are made out of great material. Not too big or too heavy.

I bought these because the previous reviews (sponsored by the company I believe) said they were of great quality and the pictures looked great! I will say I think these will do just fine for the applications that I need. However, they aren't perfect in size. The worst being the 3/4 where it hovered between 0.005" and 0.007" off. All the other sizes are around 0.002" off on the shy side.The color and imprint are very easy to read. Unlike some other inexpensive setup blocks, these are correctly labeled on the label side. The opposing length seems shy of 0.5" but is close.The carrying case is good enough with two catch latches on the side. The foam padding feels quality and the cutouts for the foam are EXTRA tight on removal. I'd recommend cutting out circles on the end of the holders and just having the set up blocks retained with friction in the middle. These can be removed but you have to push on one end while trying to pry up. It's a little difficult when all the pieces are in there.Overall, I'm using these for woodworking so I'm not too worried about couple thousands off. It is food for thought for the supplier though. Lastly, I didn't check the anodize. I don't want to try and scratch it to see how hard the coating is. It seems sturdy enough!

I first bought this set of set-up blocks last year. When they arrived I checked them with digital calipers and was pleased to see the blocks were very accurately sized. I also liked the large, clear markings which made it easy to select the right size. They turned out to be even more useful than I expected in my woodworking shop. I found sometimes it would be nice to have two blocks of the same size—like two 3/32†blocks for example. So a couple of months ago I bought a second set! The first set was blue so I picked red for the second set. Great value.
