Stanley Tools 45-011 Aluminum Rafter Square

Product Description

The STANLEY TOOLS 45-011 is an aluminum rafter square designed for layout, angle measurement, and framing work in residential and light commercial construction. Built from extra-thick aircraft-grade aluminum, it delivers the rigidity and durability needed for repeated jobsite use. Embossed graduations are painted yellow for high-contrast readability in low-light or dusty conditions. A protective clear coating resists corrosion and extends service life. The square ships in a package quantity of 3 units per carton, making it practical for contractor supply orders.

This rafter square is used by carpenters, framers, and general contractors for stair layout, rafter cutting, and board measurement. It is equally suited to rough framing and finish carpentry tasks. Markings appear on both sides of the square, reducing the need to flip the tool during layout. Included reference tables cover brace measures, board measures, the octagon scale, and a full rafter table, allowing the user to pull common calculations directly from the tool.

Installation Notes

This tool requires no installation. Carpenters and framers should verify square calibration periodically, especially after drops or impacts that may affect accuracy. Store the square flat or in a protective sleeve to prevent warping of reference edges. Handle the tool away from grinding or welding operations that could damage the clear-coat finish.
