- Tape Measures - Measure the length, width and height of objects in centimetres and inches.
- Combination Squares - a versatile adjustable measuring tool that quickly and accurately measures objects for precise work. a combination square is an essential tool for your toolbox. Can be used to find angles, measure lengths, provide straight edges and right angles.
- Engineers Squares - Also known as a Machinist, great for assessing angles, marking straight lines and measuring lengths.
- Spirit Levels - Spirit levels use small air bubbles to keep objects accurately vertically and horizontally
- Laser Levels - Uses a laser line to visibly see the line on the surface. A self-levelling laser level can be set up on a surface and can determine the level on its own.
- Chalk Line - Stretched over various lengths and then plucked to leave a chalk line on a surface.
- Scribers - Used to mark or scribe on various materials. The durable pointed tips allow you to produce a shallow scratch that won't be easily rubbed out, making them ideal for producing a faint line when measuring or marking materials with precision.
