Product Information

Full details

The Kapro 325 Magnetic Combination Square is an essential layout tool for woodworkers, contractors, and metalworkers who demand precision and efficiency in their daily tasks. Its primary advantage lies in the integrated magnetic locking mechanism, which simplifies adjustments while ensuring the blade remains firmly in place. However, users should note that the heavy-duty cast zinc body adds more weight compared to lighter aluminum models, which may be a consideration for those who prefer ultra-lightweight tools for extended overhead work.

FAQs

Is the ruler marked in both inches and metric?

Yes, the stainless steel blade features etched markings for both imperial (inches) and metric (centimeters) units.

What is the primary benefit of the magnetic lock?

The magnetic lock allows for faster and more convenient adjustments of the blade while ensuring it stays securely in place during measurement.

Can this square be used for 45-degree angles?

Yes, the combination square head is designed to provide both 90-degree and 45-degree reference surfaces.

Is the body made of plastic or metal?

The body is constructed from heavy-duty cast zinc, providing excellent durability and weight for stability.

How long is the blade on this model?

This specific model comes with a 30cm (approx. 12 inch) blade.

Is the tool calibrated from the factory?

Yes, Kapro tools are manufactured with 5-milled sides to provide high-precision accuracy out of the box.

Troubleshooting

Blade feels loose or slips

Check the magnetic lock for metal shavings or debris that may prevent a full seal; clean thoroughly with a dry brush.

Vial is difficult to read

Clean the plastic vial surface with a damp cloth to remove dust; ensure adequate lighting for the bubble to contrast clearly.

Markings are becoming hard to read

Wipe the blade with a clean cloth. If dust is trapped in the etched markings, use a soft-bristled nylon brush.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Kapro 325 is a ready-to-use precision instrument. To maintain its accuracy, keep the milled surfaces clean of saw dust, metal filings, and adhesive buildup.

Care Instructions

  • Store the square in a tool bag or box where the blade is protected from bending.
  • Periodically wipe the magnetic lock mechanism with a clean, dry cloth to prevent metal shavings from affecting the locking force.
  • Avoid dropping the tool, as impact can damage the squareness of the cast body or crack the vial.
  • If the tool is used in damp conditions, wipe the stainless steel blade with a light machine oil to prevent potential oxidation over long periods.
