Description
The Kapro 444 Speed Square 7″ triangle square is a multi-purpose square particularly suited to construction, woodwork and guiding saws. The product combines the features of a square, protractor, measuring rule and marking tool in one compact, light form.
Made of Kapro’s own Ergocast™ composite, which is light, impact-resistant and dimensionally accurate. Permanent measuring scales (in inches) are moulded into the body, making it easy to measure and mark 90° and 45° angles, measure distances and guide the saw’s cutting line.
The Kapro 444 also has a saw guide lip, which improves the stability of the tool when it is used to support a saw. Angle measurements, bevel angles and quick use as a ruler make it a versatile tool for professionals and hobbyists alike.
Intended use:
-
Saw guide and angle guide: Can be used to guide straight and bevel cuts with a circular saw or handsaw. Thanks to the lip, it stays firmly on the material being worked.
-
Marking 90° and 45° angles: Excellent for marking straight and bevel angles on wood and board materials. Standard angles for quick sawing and installation work.
-
Measuring rule and distance marking: The millimetre scales allow quick, precise measurement directly with the tool without a separate rule.
-
Determining and marking bevel angles: The angle scale lets you determine different bevels easily and precisely.
-
Installing roof and frame structures: Suitable for angle and saw markings on roof trusses, beams and other timber structures in construction.
Features:
-
Material: Ergocast™ composite: a light, impact-resistant and dimensionally accurate construction.
-

-
Weight: Extremely light: easy to handle and carry in a toolbox or pocket.
Kapro triangle square instructions for use:
-
Place the triangle square against the edge of the material being worked.
-
Use the 90° or 45° edge of the tool to mark or guide the saw’s cutting line.
-
The scales also let you measure specific distances or set the saw angle precisely.
-
Use the angle scale to determine bevels, for example when setting out roof trusses.
-
Store in a dry place and avoid exposure to high temperatures or hard impacts.
How to choose the right triangle square:
-
Size: 7″ is an all-round size suitable for most measuring work. Larger models are particularly suited to construction sawing.
-
Material: Composite models are light and rustproof. Aluminium offers a longer service life and industrial durability.
-
Scales: Make sure the tool has clear, wear-resistant scales, especially if you make bevel markings or repeated measurements.
-
Extra features: Lips, hanging holes and bevel scales can make daily use easier and speed up work.
