Recommend a Metric Speed / Rafter Square?

Hi all,
I'm in the market for a metric speed / rafter square.
Most I've spotted are imperial. Swanson, the OG of speed squares apparently, does do a metric one – a 25cm one. Kind of odd, as I thought the typical sizes were 7" / 17.75cm or 12" / 30cm.
Anyone found a decent, accurate, aluminium-bodied metric speed / rafter square?
Thanks.

The only decent ones I've seen are the Swanson 25cm version or this Hultafors one https://ffx.co.uk/product/Get/Hultafors-Hul257010-7317842570114-Rafter-Square-Metric-18Cm
There are a a couple of cheap ones on Amazon/ebay but I wouldn't trust them too much.
Toolstation also sell this https://www.toolstation.com/tracer-pro-square/p533170
