Square YATO YT-70843 stainless steel 1.2 mm 1 pc measuring square

YATO YT-70843 stainless steel 1.2 mm measuring square is a single-piece locksmith square designed for layout, marking and checking right angles in metalworking, carpentry and general construction. Constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel with a zinc-alloy foot, this 150 mm (6") square features permanent metric and imperial graduations on both faces and a sturdy 1.2 mm thick blade that preserves a straight edge and accurate 90° alignment for workshop and site use.

Advantages

The stainless steel construction ensures resistance to rust and dimensional stability during regular use. Permanent millimeter and inch graduations on both sides allow quick readings and flexible use across different measurement systems. A reinforced connection between blade and foot by three rivets provides mechanical strength for repeated scribing and checking operations. The integrated hanging hook and compact dimensions make it convenient to store and carry.

How to use

Place the square with its foot flush against the reference edge of the workpiece so the blade extends along the surface to be checked or marked. Use the permanent graduations to transfer measurements or to mark parallel lines; scribe along the blade edge with a sharp tool for precise lines. For angle checks, ensure the foot sits fully against the reference face and observe contact along the full length of the blade to confirm a true 90° relationship. Use the vial for quick level checking if present, and hang the square by its hook for storage between operations.

Usage recommendations

Clean the stainless blade after use to remove filings and debris; avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the graduations. Store in a dry place and avoid prolonged contact with corrosive substances to maintain edge straightness and measurement accuracy. When scribing on hardened surfaces, use appropriate scribes and avoid excessive force that could deform the 1.2 mm blade.
