E250 - Empire 12-Inch True Blue Professional Combination Square with Stainless Blade

Precision Layout and Measurement

The Empire® E250 12-inch True Blue® Combination Square is engineered for professionals who demand accuracy and durability in their measuring tools. At the heart of this tool is the renowned True Blue® vial system. Unlike standard clear vials, True Blue® vials feature a high-contrast blue fluid that enhances visibility in all lighting conditions, making it easier to read level, plumb, and slope. The vial is precision-engineered to be accurate to within 0.0005 inches per inch, ensuring that your layouts are dead-on every time. The square also features the innovative DUAL-PITCH™ capability, allowing users to quickly check for 1-degree and 2-degree slopes, a critical feature for drainage and pipe layout tasks.

Built for Longevity

Durability is a key focus of the E250's design. The blade is constructed from high-quality stainless steel, which offers excellent resistance to corrosion and wear. Unlike cheaper alternatives where markings are simply printed on the surface, the graduations on the E250 are chemically etched into the steel. This means they will not fade or rub off over time, maintaining readability for the life of the tool. The head is a heavy-duty machined component, providing a solid reference surface that resists deformation from drops or rough handling. The precision machined working surfaces ensure that both 90-degree and 45-degree angles are verified with absolute confidence.

Advanced Features for Efficiency

Efficiency on the job site is enhanced by the BLADE-LOCK™ self-aligning drawbolt mechanism. This feature allows for rapid adjustment of the blade position while ensuring a secure, non-slip lock when tightened. This is particularly useful for depth gauging or repetitive marking tasks where the blade setting must remain constant. Additionally, the tool includes an onboard hardened scriber, conveniently stored within the head. This integrated tool allows for immediate marking on hard surfaces without the need to search for a separate pencil or marker. Whether used for carpentry, masonry, or general construction, the Empire E250 delivers the professional performance required for critical layout work.
