  So for the most part a combination square is a layout tool that wise construction professionals keep handy in their toolbox. The versatility of a combination square comes from the interchangeable heads you attach to the combination square blade. An important square head, the centering head, allows you to find the center of circles and squares. A centering head resembles a "V," with a locking thumb nut located near the point of the "V." The square blade rests in the center head, with one side of the square blade sitting on the center of the head.

The Combination Tri Square Hand Tools are good for laying out lines for ripping, crosscutting, mitering, and making notches. The head, with fences at 90 and 45 degrees, slides along the blade and locks, allowing you to transfer a distance accurately and hold it while you draw a line with a pencil. Cabinetmakers like the fixed Hand tool square for checking corners and edges, but for most carpentry and metal work tasks, a Combination Tri Square Hamd Tool is more versatile and available at DMSeeleysTools.com.
