Features
- Permanently impressed graduations.
- Reverse-reading scale for measurements from either direction.
- Nickel plating helps resist rust; matte finish reduces glare.
Specifications
- Size options: 8 in. × 12 in. or 16 in. × 24 in.

- Finish: Nickel plated, anti-glare matte
Size Options

Applications
Use for layout, checking right angles and marking construction or woodworking parts. Choose the square’s arm lengths to suit the workpiece and the reach needed for the layout.
Selection and Use
- The two sizes are individual selections, not a two-square set.
- Use the reverse-reading scale when measuring from the opposite direction.
- Keep the reference edges clean so buildup does not interfere with contact on the workpiece.
