Value Collection SS/18 Steel Square 18 Inch Blade

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS/18 is a steel square designed for layout, marking, and verification work in trades that require precise right-angle references. The blade measures 18 inches in length and the base measures 10 inches, providing a sturdy L-shaped tool suitable for checking squareness on framing, ductwork fabrication, and structural layout tasks. Constructed from steel, the SS/18 offers the rigidity needed for accurate repeated use in shop and field environments. The tool weighs 9.56 pounds, giving it the mass required to stay stable on a work surface during scribing or marking operations. HVAC fabricators, pipefitters, carpenters, and general contractors are the primary installers and users of this type of layout square.

The SS/18 is suited for residential and light commercial construction and fabrication applications. It is commonly used on sheet metal layout tables, framing benches, and structural steel work where a reliable 90-degree reference is needed. The tool is appropriate for shop use as well as on-site layout tasks. Its steel construction makes it durable enough for regular use in demanding trade environments where plastic or aluminum squares would not hold up under heavy-duty conditions.

Installation Notes

No power source or fastening is required for use. Verify the square against a known reference surface before critical layout work to confirm it has not been bent or damaged in transport. Keep the tool clean and dry to prevent surface corrosion that could affect marking accuracy. Handle with care to avoid dropping, which can alter the 90-degree angle.
