Stanley 1-45-013 Folding Aluminium Carpenter's Square 172 x 122 cm

Large-scale layout and squaring tasks on construction sites often demand a tool that is both accurate and easy to transport. The Stanley 1-45-013 Folding Aluminium Carpenter's Square solves this by combining a full 172 x 122 cm working size with a foldable design that collapses to roughly 100 cm for storage and carrying. Built from lightweight yet rigid aluminium, it resists corrosion and stands up to daily jobsite use, while the fixed 90-degree angle and high-contrast metric markings ensure reliable measurements for roofing, tiling, and general framing work.

Who is it for

Professional carpenters, roofers, tilers, and serious DIYers who need a large, accurate square for laying out walls, checking corners, or marking sheet materials. It is especially useful when working alone, as the folding mechanism makes it easy to move between job sites without sacrificing working size.

Tips

Before first use, unfold the square completely and ensure the hinge locks securely into place. Wipe the aluminium surface clean after use to maintain marking visibility. Store the square folded in a dry location to prevent any buildup of debris in the hinge. For large sheet goods, use the full length to mark square cut lines quickly and accurately.
