The Faithfull Carpenter's Try Square is designed for professional woodworkers and woodworking hobbyists who require high precision for marking and checking 90-degree angles. Its primary benefit is a blend of traditional durability and accuracy, achieved through heavy-gauge brass facings and blued steel; however, users should note that the wooden handle requires proper storage to prevent warping over long-term exposure to moisture.

The blade length is 230mm.
While the blade is rust-resistant, the hardwood handle is not weather-proof. It is best to use and store this tool in a dry workshop environment.
It means the wood used in the handle has been verified as coming from forests that meet strict environmental and social standards.
This square is designed primarily for woodworking. Metalworking often requires hardened steel squares that are more resistant to the abuse of steel filing.
You can use a standard brass polish if you wish to maintain the shine, or simply wipe it down with a clean, dry cloth to remove fingerprints and oils.
Check the rivets for any signs of obstruction; if the wood has shrunk due to extreme dryness, store in a humidity-controlled environment to allow the material to stabilize.
Gently remove light surface oxidation using a fine-grit abrasive pad and wipe down with a protective oil to restore the blued finish.
The Faithfull Try Square requires no complex assembly or calibration out of the box. To ensure a long life and consistent accuracy, follow these maintenance tips: After each use, wipe the blade clean of any wood dust or moisture to prevent oxidation. If you are working in a damp environment, consider applying a light coat of machine oil to the steel blade. Store the square hanging by its handle or laid flat on a workbench away from direct heat sources, which could dry out the wood and lead to shrinkage or loosening of the brass rivets over time.
