Double squares are handy tools simply because they do not contain a 45° leg. The head of the DS-6 Double Square is cast from silicon brass, a durable alloy that wears better than brass and does not rust in humid environments. The DS-6 Double Square is precisely milled, creating a tool with an accuracy limit of less than 0.002" over the length of a fully extended blade. Once milled, both legs are precisely fitted with rosewood inlay.
The 6" (3/4" width) blade is made from stainless steel and is satin-chromed for excellent readability. The graduations (1/8", 1/16", 1/32", 1/64") are photo-chemically etched and meet or exceed all U.S. and British accuracy standards for rules.

1. Apply a good quality metal polish to all metal surfaces (we recommend a paste polish, as liquid polishes tend to clog the screw heads). Follow the polish instruction for use. 2. Apply a high quality paste wax to refurbish all wood and brass surfaces. Gently rub with '0000' steel wool, following the scratch pattern on the brass. Once the wax has set, buff by hand with a clean cotton cloth. 3. Apply a thin layer of Vaseline to protect the steel blade from the element. It also does a fine job of removing fingerprints.
