The Hultafors Quattro 270 Adjustable Square is a versatile tool designed for precise angle measure...The Hultafors Quattro 270 Adjustable Square is a versatile tool designed for precise angle measurements and marking. Its blade can be rotated to 45°, 90°, and 135°, and can also be rotated 270° to utilize the opposite side of the stock, which is ideal for thin sheet metal parts. The square features markings for 22.5°, 67.5°, and 75°/15°, and rotating the blade 270° creates a rounded corner for working in uneven spaces. The stock is made from fully anodized aluminum with a 19mm thick handle, and the high-strength stainless steel blade is 45mm wide and 1mm thick, suitable for standard stud dimensions. A center line aids in marking both sides of a stud, and scribing notches spaced 5mm apart allow for drawing or cutting parallel lines. Manufactured with CNC-milled stock and a precision laser-cut blade, it offers high accuracy with an angle tolerance of ±0.06° (±1 mm/m). This square is also foldable for easy storage and transport. Made in Europe with a focus on sustainability and controlled working conditions.
