Yeah uses degrees and not the metric unit for angle which is RADIANS
Degrees and radians aren’t part of the metric system. Radians is mostly used more in maths than practical applications.
Lets just post wrong shit all the time and not bother looking it up
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_(angle)
@eddyah: Ok I was wrong and Radians are the angle measurement of the SI system, which is the Metric system.
As Gadget pointed out, rarely, if ever, used outside theory calculations.
While radians is technically metric as pointed out, you'll never find it in any measuring tool in existence.
Is it just me, or does Bunnings stock a lot of imperial stuff - I.e half of the screws and nuts section is in imperial measurements. Seems I need to bring out the conversation calculator every second or so trip there to work out what I'm buying.
You just looking in the wrong section
I usually buy whatever is cheapest, which is often imperial. And I believe that's due to economy of scale.
It's clearly a triangle though.
its a two pack, you join them together. They come flat-packed
Hard to believe it is normally $30 for a plastic measuring square. Bought one because cheap
Don't think anyone would ever actually pay $30 given you can get aluminium ones for that price.
Bought an aluminium one in Canadian Tire Vancouver, tools are cheaper over there than in Oz.
Long way to go, though.
@Ulysses31: Ha! ha!, Have been there multiple times, got my immediate family there. You never know, one day CA could be on your vacation list :)
The aluminum ones will last quite a bit longer. Fully recyclable.
ok, i'm looking for a measuring tape that rolls up and back out like that's 80s slap bands….
Stanley Fat Max is the goat
Agreed.
Decent magnet, decent lock; and it'll go way out without bending if you need to hook something you can't reach.
Came to comments for this video
Looks like a measuring triangle to me.
I blame the Australian education system. It is definitely a triangle…
Looks as as Square as all the ones i have in my shed?
Its to make sure your lines are square (e.g. 90 degrees perpendicular).
The stationary version for drafting is called a set square.
Shrinkflation. Used to be square for the same price *& who needs 230y outdated measures ;)
Measuring square is correct, you use it to square what you are working on when cutting or joining, to make sure it is at right angle.
The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an Isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side!
Square root ? Source ?
The sum of the squares
rootsof any two sides of an Isosceles triangle is equal to the squarerootof the remaining side!Fix it for you.
IYKYK
That's an odd name. I'd have called them chazzwazzers.
Ah so we have a triangle identifying as a Square…
It is not what it looks like, more what you are using it for, to square your project.
Tools are identified by their function not what they look like.
E.g. a hammer hammers, a drill drills, yo mama would be called a nail etc
Jokes aside its pretty usefull own one the Blue empiral and use it with the circular saw
Yeah I use mine all the time for the same thing. Beats using a mitre saw every time for convenience.
I think it's a speed square. Really handy for roofing.
My roofer just eye balls it
One of the most used tools in my arsonal. Unfortunate it's in imperial, places like the USA needs to get with the times…
I wouldn't sneer at it being plastic. The plastic is very heavy duty and it's not as susceptible to heat/sun. It is also lighter compared to aluminium ones.Arsenal… haha
Arsonal is correct: he keeps it with his matches, napalm, petrol and incendiary devices.
I hate imperial, wished all tools sold in Autralia were exclusively metric.
Those SAE tools n bits that comes with metric-imperial tool kits drive me nuts.
These are great for freehand cutting deckboards, joists etc to length. Much better than a combo square for docking. Lots of other uses but thats my main one.The smaller 7" one is probably more useful will fit in toolbelt easily.
Trade tools alloy metric/imp https://www.tradetools.com/renegade-industrial-aluminium-qui…freehand cutting deckboards
Do you have example video?
lots out there but its a pretty simple concept eg https://youtu.be/UN9xISrNFNY?t=49
If its a critical cut you can clamp the square to the piece to ensure zero movementI thought so - using it as a fence. When you said freehand, I thought you held it like the guy in the vid vs clamping - brave person or someone who does it everyday so is second nature.
is there a tool that integrates a clamp with a square? My circular saw has a left-hand side blade, so when I need to cut a small piece from a big one, I need to fix a guide to the right-hand side of the saw.
One reviewer said the bigger square is a little off, not square.
Nothing actually is perfectly square due to the uncertainty of what is being measured + the measuring device itself having an error.
perhaps that is covered in the specification:
"Accuracy: 0"
Just bought one to collect tomorrow, after I saw the price on ToolKit Depot $34.49
out of stock when tried to order with delivery
No stock in local BunningsCollected mine today, well, it's a nice and quite wide piece of tool. An impressive bargain.
i didn't appreciate it is so big. 8mm thick plastic. probably worth the $6. pity it is imperial. are we a dumping ground for american junk?
I could order online. Just got the package delivered this morning. They sent me a Trojan one :(
back to $32. must have been an oopsie
I will wait until next sale.
This is not a metric tool. Still pretty good as a square.
