Square Stanley 2-46-017 Weight 164.4 g

The Stanley 2-46-017 square is a precision layout tool designed for accurate marking and measurement in woodworking, metalworking and general construction tasks. Weighing 164.4 g, this compact square offers stable handling and easy control when transferring lines, checking right angles and aligning components on both small and medium-sized projects. Its durable construction provides consistent performance for repetitive use.

Advantages

The Stanley square combines a lightweight profile with a rigid body to reduce user fatigue while maintaining measurement accuracy. Its compact size allows access to tight spaces and simple storage in a toolbox or pocket. The tool’s finish resists corrosion and wear under normal workshop conditions, ensuring readable edges and reliable reference faces over time.

Suitable for

• Checking and marking 90° angles on wood and metal
• Transferring reference lines for cutting, drilling and assembly
• Use in carpentry, joinery, cabinetmaking and metal fabrication
• DIY projects, repairs and on-site layout tasks

Key specifications

• Weight: 164.4 g
• Tool type: Square for layout and angle checking
• Construction: Durable metal body with finished edges for marking
• Size: Compact format suitable for small and medium assemblies
• Handling: Lightweight for stable control and reduced fatigue

How to use

Place one face of the square firmly against the reference edge of the workpiece and align the blade or datum face along the surface to be marked. Use a pencil, marking knife or scribe along the outer edge to transfer a precise line. For angle checks, hold the square firmly and verify that the adjacent surface makes full contact with both faces; any gap indicates deviation from 90°. When marking multiple parts, use the square as a template to ensure repeatable placement.

Usage recommendations

Store the square in a dry place and avoid heavy impacts to preserve edge accuracy. Clean marking residue after use and inspect faces periodically for nicks or wear that could affect precision. For best results, pair the square with sharp marking tools and a stable work support when scribing fine layout lines.
