Where to find it?
Tom mostly uses a 6” combo square [https://homedepot.sjv.io/q4rbdN] or 12” combo square [https://homedepot.sjv.io/eKdV7X]. He looks for brands that are sturdy and not flimsy. Forged steel and cast iron are the strongest materials used.

He also showed a magnetic lock combination square [https://homedepot.sjv.io/rQj6d5]. Which can allow for quicker adjustments than the classic twist knob on the head.
