Which tool is described as a sliding square mounted on a steel rule and used for marking, measuring, and leveling?

• A. Combination Square
• B. Try Square
• C. Spokeshave
• D. G Cramp

Answer: (A)

The description points to a combination square. It’s a versatile tool that features a steel ruler with a square head that slides along the ruler and can be locked in place. That sliding, adjustable head lets you mark lines at right angles or at 45 degrees, measure depths or distances from an edge, and, with a built-in spirit level, check whether a surface is level. This combination of marking, measuring, and leveling in one tool is what makes it the best choice. A try square has a fixed head and can’t slide along the rule, a spokeshave is a shaping tool, and a G cramp is a clamp used to hold pieces together.
