Aluminum frame does not retain heat from the sun the way steel framing squares do. No glove drop on the job site.
Five Layout Scales
1/8, 1/10, 1/12, 1/16, and 1/100 graduations on the same blade. Common rafter and stair layouts off one square.
Reverse-Reading Scale
Reads the cut off the back of the square too. Mark from either side without flipping the tool.
