Description

The Yato combination square 150 mm with spirit level + screw lock is a multi-purpose measuring and marking tool for woodwork, metalwork and installation work. The sliding rule lets you set 90° and 45° angles quickly, check inside and outside corners and repeat measurements without separate stops. The length scale makes it easier to measure and transfer distances to the workpiece.

The integrated spirit level helps check horizontal position in installation and framing work. The screw lock fixes the rule firmly at the chosen measurement, which improves repeatability in series work such as fitting trims, cabinet carcasses and fitting finished components. The multi-function stock works as both a 90° and a 45° reference, and the end of the rule is suitable for measuring depths and step depths.

The compact 150 mm length makes the tool agile for marking and check measurements in tight spots. The combination square is also used with a scriber or a thin pencil, with the edge of the rule acting as a protected guide for making neat markings.

Intended use:

• Setting and checking angles (90°/45°): The bevel and square of the stock allow quick checking and marking of both 90-degree and 45-degree angles. This is useful for mitred trims, frame structures and framing, where angle errors easily multiply if the reference is not repeatable.

• Measuring, transferring measurements and measuring depth: The 150 mm rule allows quick length and distance measurement. The sliding position works as a “stopper” that lets you transfer the same measurement to several pieces without measuring again. Depth measurements, checking recesses or grooves and comparing step depths are done with the end of the rule.

• Level checks and light installations: The integrated spirit level helps check positions, such as making sure small shelves, trims and fittings are horizontal. This reduces the need to change between separate tools on site.

• Marking and guiding the scribed line: The edge of the rule acts as a guide for a scriber or pencil, so marking lines stay straight and repeatable. Especially with repeated edge distances (e.g. screw spacings), the screw lock ensures the same setting from one piece to the next.

Features:

• Length: 150 mm – An agile size for tight spots and quick marking.

• Angle references: 90° ja 45° – Quick setting and checking of angles.

• Locking: Screw lock – Ensures repeatable measurements and stable use.

• Level check: Integrated spirit level – Basic verification of horizontality in installations.

• Scale: Clear measurement markings – Measuring, transfer and depth measurements without separate tools.

• Stock and rule: Metal stock and sliding blade – Stable guidance and neat markings.

• Uses: Wood, board and light metalwork – Marking, setting out and quality assurance before fixing.

Yato combination square 150 mm: instructions for use:

1. Setting: Loosen the screw lock, slide the rule to the measurement you want and tighten the lock firmly.

2. 90°/45° marking: Place the bevel or square of the stock against the edge of the piece. Draw the line along the edge guided by the rule.

3. Measuring depth: Put the rule into the opening/groove and read the depth on the scale; lock it to transfer the measurement.

4. Level check: Use the spirit level to assess horizontality; fine-tune until the bubble is in the middle.

5. Maintenance: Keep the scale clean of dust and dirt; tighten the lock lightly and avoid overtightening.

Warnings:

• Avoid getting your fingers caught by the sliding rule when tightening (risk of pinching).

• Do not use a damaged or bent square, as there is a risk of measuring errors.

• If the vial of the spirit level breaks, avoid contact with the liquid and replace the tool.

• Store dry; wipe metal surfaces after use to prevent corrosion.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ):

Can I use the tool for mitre marking?
Yes, the 45° bevel makes it easier to mark and check mitres quickly.

How do I transfer a measurement?
Lock the rule at the measurement you want with the screw lock and use the same position to mark several pieces.

Can the tool be calibrated?
If the tool has taken a knock, check the 90° reference against a known precision line, for example; replace the tool if there is an error.

Can I measure depths?
Yes, the end of the rule works as a depth gauge for grooves, recesses and holes.
