Angle Squares
Also known as rafter squares, these have a 0° to 90° scale for measuring angles. All squares have a rafter scale and saw guide.
Aluminum squares are durable and work in most applications.
Plastic squares are useful on delicate surfaces to prevent marring, but they’re less durable than aluminum squares.
