The Fisher Combination Square (FB225ME) is designed for carpenters, metalworkers, and fabricators who need a precise and versatile tool for layout tasks. Its key benefit is combining multiple essential functions – try square, mitre square, depth gauge, ruler, and more – into a single, durable instrument. A potential caveat is the need for careful handling to maintain the accuracy of the polished steel blade.

A combination square is a multi-functional layout tool used for marking and measuring angles (90 and 45 degrees), checking squareness, measuring depth, and serving as a straight edge and rule in woodworking and metalworking.
Ensure the blade is securely locked, the stock is placed firmly against the edge of your material, and all surfaces are clean. Avoid applying excessive force that could flex the blade.
The Fisher Combination Square is designed for precision layout. With careful use and proper locking, it can be used for accurate marking and measurement in detailed work.
The centre head attachment is used to accurately find the center point of a round or square object. When the tool is slid over the material, the V-groove in the centre head, combined with the blade, will align with the exact center.
Yes, the blade has markings on both sides and can be used for measuring and marking from left to right or right to left, depending on your setup.
It's good practice to check the tool's accuracy periodically, especially if it has been dropped or subjected to harsh use. A quick check against a known square or trusted straight edge will confirm its calibration.
The blade is made of polished steel, and the stock is made of a matt black die-cast material for durability.
Ensure the brass locking screw is tightened sufficiently. Check the screw threads and the corresponding threads on the stock for any damage or debris. Clean threads if necessary.
Verify the blade is fully seated and locked in the stock. Check for any nicks or burrs on the blade or stock edges. Ensure the work surface and the tool's stock are clean and free of debris.
Ensure the scriber is properly seated in its holder. If it's stuck, try gently wiggling it while pulling. Keep the scriber tip clean and sharp.
The spirit level is factory set and not user-adjustable. Minor discrepancies may occur. For highly critical leveling tasks, use a dedicated spirit level. Ensure the blade is perfectly aligned with the stock when checking 90 degrees.
