Marking Out Tools
Steel Rule
Usually ranging from 150 mm to 1000 mm with finer markings. Used for accurate setting out of tool settings such as Gauges
Made of wood or plastic. The most usual lengths being 1000 or 1200 mm. Used for general setting out and measuring.
Folding Rule

Try Square Try Square
The figure below shows a method of checking the accuracy of a Try Square. This should be carried out at regular intervals to avoid errors in work. Any gaps show the Square is out if true and needs to be replaced.

Having all metal parts.
The sliding blade (beam) being 300mm in length is usually marked off in millimetres and centimetres.
The Stock having both 90° and 45° angles is used similarly to the Try Square but has the added advantage of 45° measurements

The type of cut produced by a handsaw is determined by the type of saw tooth. The bigger the tooth, the rougher the cutting action
Hand saws

Rigid Blades are useful for most jobs where only a few screws are being placed at one time. The screwdriver end must match the head of screw being used.
The flat end for slot screws must not be rounded or curved, otherwise the screwdriver will keep slipping out of the slot.
Ratchets would be used for the same situation as above with one major advantage - you can keep a firm grip on the handle at all times which allows faster movement of the wrist without changing your grip.
