## Description

The Mayes 48 Inch Lightweight Aluminum Drywall Square is your solution for drywall marking and cutting. Made of 1/8 inch thick extruded aluminum for sturdy durability, the drywall ruler has a non glare powder coat finish tough enough to withstand years of wear and tear. The drywall marking tool features 4 rivets securing the head to the body for added strength. The rivets on the head prevent the twisting that can cause inaccurate readings and markings you might get with other t square tools. The easy to read thermo bonded markings on the 48 inch drywall T square help to maintain accuracy and the 1/8 inch and 1/16 inch scale measurements won’t fade or wear off. The durable powdered coat finish creates a non glare blade surface to prevent eye strain. You can also use this versatile scoring square on plywood and other construction board materials. The lightweight blades can operate as a drywall or wallboard t square art straightedge, or as measuring tools for any of your home projects. The body is intentionally cut to the width of a standard wall outlet for easy marking. Your reliable t square hangs securely on any hook or nail for storage after a job well done. You can count on the Mayes 48 Inch Lightweight Aluminum Drywall Square to steer you straight.

Review: High quality tool ! - Made in America by a company that, without a doubt, believes in building a quality tool. Aircraft grade aluminum, strong hard rivets, Lazer etched graduations and 2 beautiful colorized American flags! It's almost too beautiful to use and could be a wall hanging in a Man Cave or business office. I'm going to have to use it eventually but look out to the first person who drips something on it, some gentle cleaning and inspection will be coming their way. HOOYAH !
Review: As advertised - A superior product for those that use it daily
