Technical Features
- 3/16″ thick extruded aluminum blade provides an elevated straight edge that prevents a utility knife from riding up over the blade and slipping during scoring cuts.
- Clear protective anodized finish creates a surface barrier that resists rust and corrosion, extending the service life of the tool in demanding job-site environments.
- Permanent rivet assembly bonds the head and blade together without reliance on adhesives or fasteners that can loosen over time, maintaining a true 90 square for the life of the tool.
- Thermal-bonded 1/8″ black graduations markings are permanently fused to the blade rather than printed on, preventing wear and ensuring bold, high-contrast readability during layout work.
- 48″ blade length spans the full width of a standard 48″ drywall sheet in a single placement, eliminating the need to reposition the square for full-width cuts.
Applications
- Marking and scoring standard 48 and 412 drywall sheets for straight cuts
- Establishing square layout lines on gypsum board, cement board, and similar sheet materials
- Guiding utility knife cuts along a thick, stable straight edge to minimize blade deflection
- Measuring and marking fractional increments at 1/8″ resolution directly on sheet material
