Combination square Yato YT-70787 30 cm Aluminium Black

The Yato YT-70787 Combination Square 30 cm Aluminium Black is a measuring and layout tool designed for accurate marking, squaring and depth measurement tasks. Constructed with an aluminium body and a 30 cm blade, it provides a stable reference edge for woodworking, metalworking and general workshop use. The black finish resists light wear and gives the tool a uniform appearance while the design focuses on repeatable measurements and straightforward adjustment.

Advantages

The aluminium construction balances strength and reduced weight, making the tool easy to handle for extended periods. The 30 cm blade length covers common measurement ranges for layout and cutting tasks. A secure locking mechanism maintains blade position for consistent readings and the simple scale markings enable quick visual checks. The compact profile is suitable for tight spaces and the overall build supports both rough job-site use and controlled workshop work.

Suitable for

• Woodworking layout and marking of edges and joints
• Checking squareness of assembled parts and frames
• Metalworking layout and basic shop measurements
• DIY home projects requiring accurate straight edges and depth checks

Key specifications

• Blade length: 30 cm
• Material: aluminium body and blade
• Finish: black
• Measurement type: imperial/metric scale markings (where applicable on blade)
• Locking mechanism: adjustable clamp to secure blade position
• Weight: lightweight construction for handheld use

How to use

To use the combination square, place the stock against the edge of the workpiece and align the blade along the surface to be measured or marked. Tighten the locking clamp to fix the blade at the desired position, then mark through the blade edge or use the stock as a square to check 90° alignment. For depth or step measurements, extend the blade past the edge and read the scale. For repeated measurements, set the blade once, lock it, and use the tool as a stop or guide.

Usage recommendations

Keep the blade and stock clean from oil and debris to maintain accurate readings. Store the combination square in a dry place to prevent corrosion and avoid exposing it to heavy impacts that could affect squareness. Periodically check the locking clamp for secure operation and verify alignment against a known reference if precision is critical.
