Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Vaunt Speed Square requires no formal setup and is ready for immediate use out of the packaging. To maintain the accuracy and longevity of your tool, keep the laser-etched markings clear of debris and excessive grit. Store the tool in a dry area to ensure the powder-coated finish remains intact. While the aluminum is highly durable, avoid using it as a striking tool with a hammer or heavy mallet, as this can mar the edge surfaces and affect the precision of future marking. Periodically wipe the tool down with a soft, dry cloth to ensure the markings remain visible.
