Johnson Level Tool CS9 Steel Carpenter Square 16x24 in

Product Description

The JOHNSON LEVEL TOOL CS9 is a professional-grade steel carpenter square designed for layout, framing, and structural work in residential and commercial construction. Measuring 16 inches by 24 inches, it features permanently thermal-bonded numbers for lasting legibility and a low-glare, anti-rust coating that holds up in demanding job-site conditions. The square ships pre-stamped with rafter tables and Essex Board Measure tables, giving carpenters and framers the reference data they need without carrying additional charts. It is sold as a single unit and is a standard tool for licensed carpenters, framers, and general contractors.

This carpenter square suits framing, stair layout, rafter cutting, and board volume calculations. The 16-inch tongue and 24-inch blade configuration follows the standard framing square layout used across residential wood-frame construction, timber framing, and deck building. Tradespeople and experienced DIYers rely on this square for marking consistent 90-degree and angled reference lines on dimensional lumber and sheet goods.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Carpenters and framers should verify the square is true before critical layout work by checking it against a known straight edge using the 3-4-5 method or a factory reference. Keep the blade and tongue clean and dry to preserve the anti-rust coating and prevent marking transfer onto finish materials. Store flat to avoid warping or bending that could affect accuracy.
