Product Information

Full details

Designed for professional woodworkers, metalworkers, and precision hobbyists, the Faithfull Prestige Combination and Try Square Set provides exceptional accuracy and multi-functional versatility for demanding projects. These tools are engineered with CNC precision and feature a rugged black anodised finish for long-term corrosion resistance. While the high-quality construction is built for heavy-duty use, users should be aware that the heavy-duty build makes the set slightly heavier in the hand than lightweight plastic or aluminum alternatives.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this set include both metric and imperial measurements?

Yes, both the combination square and the 200mm try square feature clear, laser-etched metric and imperial scales.

Can the combination square be used as a depth gauge?

Yes, the sliding blade can be extended past the head to act as a depth gauge for measuring mortises or router depths.

What is the warranty period for these tools?

Faithfull Prestige tools come with a 10-year guarantee against defects in materials and workmanship.

Is the spirit level accurate?

The spirit level is integrated for general horizontal and vertical leveling tasks in workshop applications.

Is the black finish prone to scratching?

The anodised finish is highly durable and corrosion-resistant, though like any tool, it can show wear if scratched by sharp metal or abrasive surfaces.

How do I ensure the square remains accurate over time?

Keep it clean, avoid dropping it on hard surfaces, and periodically check the squareness against a known master reference.

Troubleshooting

The combination square head doesn't slide smoothly

Check the groove for packed sawdust or debris and clean with a dry cloth. Ensure the locking nut is not overly tightened.

Measurements seem slightly inaccurate

Clean the contact surfaces between the head and the blade, as trapped dust can prevent a true 90-degree seat.

Locking screw feels stiff

Apply a tiny amount of light machine oil to the threads and work the screw back and forth to distribute it.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-precision CNC manufacturing ensures exact measurements
  • Versatile multi-tool functionality saves space in the toolbox
  • Durable black anodised finish resists corrosion and wear
  • Highly visible laser-etched markings for easy reading
  • Generous 10-year manufacturer guarantee

Cons

  • Heavier than budget-grade plastic square sets
  • Requires proper maintenance to keep the locking mechanisms debris-free
  • May be overkill for light, occasional DIY tasks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Faithfull Prestige tools maintain their accuracy, store them in a clean, dry environment. Because the combination square relies on a sliding mechanism, it is important to occasionally wipe the sliding groove with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove sawdust or metal shavings that could affect the tool's alignment.

Avoid dropping these tools on concrete or hard workshop floors, as impact can affect the squareness of the blade relative to the stock. If you find the sliding action is too loose or too tight, adjust the tension nut on the head to your preferred resistance. While the tools are corrosion-resistant, a light wipe with a light machine oil once or twice a year will maintain the luster of the black anodised finish and keep the locking screw running smoothly.
