Ramsey, NJ-ERCON, INC., announces the production of two new folding squares. One is a DIY tool to replace the conventional utility square. The other is a contractor’s tool, which will replace the framing square. ASquare models 4512 and 4516 have combined the usefulness and accuracy of utility and framing squares with the ability to compactly store in your toolbox—eliminating damage that common squares suffer—day in and day out. This storability will make conventional utility and framing squares obsolete. Never before has the do-it-yourselfer or the pro had the ability to fold his square. Now it can be done.

ERCON has developed two special compact models. The first is model 4516 designed and built for the professional tradesman. Quality constructed of gold anodized aircraft quality aluminum and possesses a patent pending precision locking mechanism that locks into place, guaranteeing square right angles. This tool also has a 45 degree angle and allows any angle from 0 degrees to 60 degrees to be found. Once folded the ASquare model 4516 measures only 1-1/2" x 23". Tradesmen in the field of carpentry, remodeling, ceramic tile, and masonry, etc., are already using prototypes of this tool today.

The second tool is the ASquare model 4512. Designed for the do-it-yourselfer and cost conscious contractor, model 4512 is a high quality tool constructed of a space-age polymer for incredible durability. The slightly smaller model 4512 has a folded dimension of only 1-1/2" x 17" and weighs less than a pound. This tool also has a 45 degree angle plus angle markings up to 60 degrees. Again, the ingenious folding design and locking mechanism make this tool strong, accurate and best of all storable—therefore, resisting the damage typically inflicted upon utility squares and framing squares. Do-it-yourselfers and homeowners will find this tool perfect for any project that requires cutting. After all, what can you cut that doesn’t need to be squared first?

Never again will anyone have to replace a utility square or framing square damaged during storage. Both the ASquare model 4516 and 4512 fold and store so compactly there is never any chance for damage.

This simple design of a folding right angle triangle has caught the tool world by storm. All tradesmen and do-it yourselfers who have tried these tools, now use these tools. Any tool lover who has seen this tool has rated the ASquare with the highest "cool factor" ever! Why? Just unfold one for yourself and see!
