Do these squares interlock with similar squares from other brands? In particular, I have a set from Lowe's that I would like to expand. Thanks.

To be honest I'm not sure, we have bought at least 5 sets of these so far and they work great, not sure if they will interlock, they are foam, you can always "cut" but wouldn't recommend it.

In my experience, no. I have a set from another brand and they do not fit together

These blocks have one, 1 and 1/8 inch peg that is about a quarter inch deep and nestles into a hole in the block below it. I'm not sure what the "old school" blocks are like. Whatever kind you have/get, interlocking pieces are an asset because of more stability.

I am not sure I understand the question. I can see two photos on Amazon that show two mats connected together in the shape of an L. In neither photo can I see any of the pieces missing (in one of them, it looks like there is a dumbbell or some such sitting on the inside corner, but I don't infer from that that the inside corner is missing). One mat comes with all the pieces needed to make a rectangle. So if you got two mats, there is no reason they wouldn't fit together in an L (with the inside corner present). Sorry if I am not understanding the question.

Amazon used to have sets available but now out of stock. In the meantime, there appear to be sets available on eBay. A friend and I play with some colored plastic squares made the right size. We not only replace standard letters but add some "extra turn" or " lose turn" tiles in the draw pile. You take a chance if you draw tiles from the replaced tiles, knowing you could benefit or lose a turn.

I can't speak for other reviewers, but I check a square against squares that I have used for years in the shop. For instance, if I use my Incra square to adjust my table saw blade and it exhibits squareness on the Grizzly products, I judge them to be relatively equal. I do have a very nice Incra square that I use for almost all woodworking, but these machinists squares are very handy for setting up tools like a hollow chisel mortiser or a drill press. I use them a great deal. As for checking that they are or are not stainless, I have no thoughts other than that there is no surface oxidation.

Yes though they are not individule but 2 inserts with 2 squares each. Pretty good product. I've been using mine for my sons lunches for 2 yrs now and it's still like brand new.

Exactly as shown in picture. My set has round plates, nothing is square. Could be there is an option for you to purchase square plates to match this set separately.

Yes, they will. I have a Duplo brand base with the same holes that we use for our large Mega Bloks brand of blocks.

I have these at a different home and use them for ski gloves, helmets and goggles. I do believe the squares are A bit bigger than 1/2 square..may be even 3/4 "by 1"

They do get holes in them, but so far I have only used 4 out of the 8 and have blocked at least 30 items (mostly doilies) with those 4 and they have plenty of uses left. They are not even close to being 'harmed' enough to compromise the mats. I do use sewing pins or map pins on them and not the fatter "T" pins, but I doubt they would hurt the mats either. The undersides of the mats could also be used if needed as I seldom push the pins through. I figure these will last a very long time.

No they are definitely not consistent. They are all different sizes and all types of shapes. Most are not round and are very inconsistent.

It is possible although the square part may make a difference. I would try and if it doesn't work just return them. Hope that helps.

They don't lock into place in the tray, so they might not want to stay in place. When you have all 7 in place, they are nice and snug, but I still think you might want to try a large rubber band length-wise around them. I really love them, though. Still using them, and the snap shut hasn't loosened at all.

I'm not sure of the concerns in the question. Checking for stainless? Does "checking for squareness" suggest product concerns? I initially confirmed the entire set against my saw table, which I trust, and found all to be accurate.

Hey P, I bought two of these jars last spring. They are square, but have rounded corners. Hope this info helps!

I bought them to help layout quilt blocks but I haven't had a chance to play with them yet. As far as I can tell all the blocks are identical: side 1= red/white, side 2= blue/yellow side 3= solid blue side 4= solid red side 5= solid white side 6= solid yellow

some do, however the ones i purchased did not. if you have a lowes near you they can be purchased in pairs when they have them.
