Empire Industries 100 Steel Carpenter Square 8x12 in

Product Description

The EMPIRE INDUSTRIES 100 is a steel carpenter square measuring 8 inches x 12 inches, built for layout and framing work on the jobsite. Constructed from 1/16-inch steel and finished with a durable protective epoxy coating, this square resists rust under tough field conditions. Graduation markings are permanently stamped at 1/8-inch intervals, providing reliable, long-lasting readability. It is a standard hand tool used by carpenters, framers, and general contractors for squaring, marking, and measuring structural work.

This carpenter square suits residential and light commercial framing, rough carpentry, stair layout, and general marking tasks. Its compact 8-inch by 12-inch frame makes it well-suited for tight spaces and repetitive layout work where a full framing square would be cumbersome. The stamped graduations and epoxy finish hold up to daily handling and outdoor exposure typical of framing and finish carpentry applications.

Installation Notes

This tool requires no installation. Carpenters and framers should verify the square against a known straight edge periodically to confirm accuracy.
