Hoek KS Tools 300.0293 roestvrij staal 10 cm 5 mm

The KS Tools carpenter's square 300.0293 is a stainless steel measuring and layout tool with a 10 cm blade length and a 5 mm thickness. Designed for marking and checking right angles, it combines corrosion-resistant material with a compact, lightweight form factor. At approximately 115 g, the square is easy to handle and suitable for repeated use on site or in the workshop.

Advantages

This stainless steel square offers dimensional stability and resistance to wear, ensuring consistent 90° angle checks over time. The 5 mm blade thickness provides rigidity to prevent bending during use, while the compact 10 cm length allows access to confined spaces and precise marking close to edges. The lightweight construction reduces hand fatigue during repetitive tasks and the smooth metal surface is simple to clean after contact with adhesive or pencil marks.

Suitable for

• Checking and marking right angles in woodworking
• Laying out joinery and cabinet components
• On-site carpentry and construction measurements
• Metalworking layout and small fabrication tasks

Key specifications

• Material: stainless steel
• Blade length: 10 cm
• Thickness: 5 mm
• Weight: approx. 115 g
• Shape: L-shaped carpenter's square for 90° checks

How to use

Place the inside corner of the L-shaped square against the workpiece so both legs sit flush on the surfaces to be checked. For marking, hold the square firmly in position and scribe along the blade edge with a pencil or marking knife to transfer the 90° reference. To verify squareness of assembled components, align one leg along a reference face and inspect the contact along the other leg for gaps. Store the square flat or in a protective sleeve to avoid nicks on the edges that could affect accuracy.

Recommendations

Use the stainless steel square on clean, dry surfaces and avoid striking or bending the blade. For highest accuracy, check the square periodically against a known reference or a precision try square. Wipe off adhesives or corrosive residues after use and store in a dry place to preserve surface finish and dimensional stability.
