A square is a tool used by carpenters, builders, and DIY enthusiasts to measure angles, particularly to ensure that an angle is a perfect 90 degrees, commonly called a "right angle". It usually has two parts, a longer ruler called the blade and a shorter one called the tongue, set at a right angle to each other. They come in different types with the common ones being the try square, combination square, and speed square. It is essential for ensuring accuracy and precision in both woodworking and metalworking.
