Set of 3 Veritas Imperial Pocket Layout Squares

Just as a speed square is an essential layout tool for carpenters and framers, these small squares are similar in both form and function but are appropriately sized for laying out joinery and other common workshop tasks. The set includes 1 1/2″, 2 1/2″ and 3 1/2″ squares – each a compact, lightweight tool that fits into a pocket, comes to hand nicely, and is easy to handle for precise work on smaller stock.
