FAQs

What is the maximum measuring length?

The set square features a 16cm metric scale.

Is this tool suitable for younger students?

Yes, its durable recycled plastic construction and integrated design make it an excellent, safe choice for geometry and math students.

Can I use ink with this tool?

Yes, it is compatible with technical drawing pens, but ensure the ink has fully dried before moving the tool to prevent smearing.

What does the 'Eco' designation mean?

The tool is manufactured using high-quality recycled plastic materials, reducing its environmental impact compared to virgin plastic alternatives.

Does the protractor have a full 360-degree scale?

Troubleshooting

Difficulty reading markings

Wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or graphite residue that may have settled in the etched markings.

Tool appears slightly warped

Ensure the tool is stored flat under a light weight for 24 hours in a cool room to allow the recycled plastic to regain its shape.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

No setup is required for this tool; simply remove it from its packaging to begin measuring. The M+R set square is compatible with standard graphite pencils, technical pens, and mechanical drafting pencils. To ensure the longevity of the tool:

  1. Store it in a flat protective sleeve to prevent scratches on the plastic surface.
  2. Clean the tool using a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth and a mild soap solution if necessary.
  3. Avoid exposure to extreme heat, such as direct sunlight on a dashboard, as this may warp the recycled plastic.
