Product Information
Full details
The Supatool Roof Square (MPN: 1102192) is an essential multi-purpose tool for professional builders, carpenters, and DIY enthusiasts who require precision in woodworking and construction. It serves as a versatile all-in-one solution that acts as a protractor, tri-square, mitre square, and framing square, offering significant time savings on layout tasks. While it excels in utility, users should note that as a manual metal tool, it requires careful handling to avoid bending the edges, which could compromise measurement accuracy over time.

FAQs
Can this be used for staircase stringer layout?
Yes, its ability to function as a framing square makes it an excellent tool for marking stair tread and riser cuts.
Does it require calibration?
As a fixed metal square, it does not have moving parts that require calibration, but you should verify it against a known square edge periodically.
What material is the tool made from?
The Supatool Roof Square is constructed from high-grade durable metal suitable for standard building site use.
Are the rafter tables for specific roof pitches?
The tables are designed for standard common roof pitches, allowing for quick reference during standard framing jobs.
How do I clean the square?
Use a dry microfiber cloth; avoid harsh solvents that could potentially degrade the finish or clarity of the markings.
Troubleshooting
Measurements seem inaccurate
Check the edges for any burrs or dents caused by drops; ensure the tool is held perfectly flush against the material surface.
Markings are difficult to see in low light
Use a white or silver paint marker to gently highlight the etched graduations if working in dim conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required for this tool; it is ready to use immediately. To maintain accuracy, store the square in a dedicated tool pouch or hook it on a wall rack to prevent it from being buried under heavier equipment that could cause it to warp or lose its edge. For care, wipe the tool down with a clean, dry cloth after exposure to sawdust or moisture. If the markings become difficult to read, a light coating of machine oil wiped immediately with a clean rag can help keep the metal conditioned and the scales visible.
