Features of The Chippy Square
Why the
Chippy Square.
Feature · 01
Scribe every single millimetre.
The overlapping scribe-hole layout gives your pencil a fixed position at each millimetre, helping you draw repeatable parallel marks without setting up a separate marking gauge.
- Millimetre-by-millimetre scribing
- Dedicated 3mm and 5mm offset holes
- Fast parallel marks for timber layout
Feature · 02
Layout markers built into the tool.
Common plate, joist, stud-centre and latch positions are integrated into the square, reducing repeated measuring during everyday site work.
- 35mm, 45mm, 70mm and 90mm plate or joist markers
- 17.5mm and 22.5mm stud-centre markers
- 17.5mm and 22.5mm door-latch centre markers
Feature · 03
Two sizes for the way you work.
The 160mm model is easy to carry in more tool pouches. The 185mm model gives you a longer squaring edge and includes a 13mm hex opening for compatible circular-saw blade changes.
- 160mm for compact everyday carry
- 185mm for longer layout lines
- Core scribing and layout features on both sizes

Questions
Before
you buy.
What is the difference between the 160mm and 185mm sizes?
Both sizes include the core scribe-hole and layout-marker functions. The 160mm model is easier to carry, while the 185mm model offers a longer squaring edge and a 13mm hex opening.
Will the measurement markings rub off?
The markings are laser engraved rather than simply surface printed, helping them remain readable through regular workshop and jobsite use.
Can it be used for woodworking as well as construction?
Yes. It is suitable for framing, renovation, timber layout, repeated parallel marking, angle work and general woodworking projects.
Which size is best for everyday carry?
Choose the 160mm model when compact carry is the priority. Choose the 185mm model when a longer edge and the 13mm hex opening are more useful.
What is the return window?
Please check the current Zivolir Refund Policy before ordering for the latest return window, eligibility requirements and return instructions.
