Value Collection 1516C 12 Inch Combination Square Set

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1516C is a 4-piece combination square set built for layout, inspection, and measurement tasks across trade and shop applications. The set includes a 12-inch hardened steel blade with 4R graduation markings in 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, and 1/8 inch increments. Three interchangeable heads — square, protractor, and center — mount to the blade to support a wide range of layout operations. The square head is used for 90-degree and 45-degree reference checks, the protractor head allows angle measurement, and the center head locates the center of round stock. The entire set weighs 2.44 pounds and is suited for machinists, pipefitters, fabricators, and general tradespeople who need reliable layout tools on the job.

This combination square set is appropriate for use in fabrication shops, mechanical rooms, plumbing rough-in, and general construction layout. The 12-inch blade length covers a practical range of measuring and scribing tasks on flat stock, pipe, and structural members. The 4R graduation style provides four scales on a single blade, reducing the need to switch tools during layout work. This set is packaged as a single unit and is suitable for both bench use and field service kits.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for hand tools of this type. Before use, verify that the blade locks securely in each head and that graduation marks are clean and legible. When using the square head for reference checks on critical work, confirm blade-to-head squareness against a known reference surface. Store the set in a dry location to prevent rust on the blade and heads.
