Sometimes referred to as a plaster square, a drywall T square is larger than many other squares, normally at least 1220mm (48 inches) long to suit the width of a sheet of plasterboard.
A drywall T square’s length ruler (longer ruler) is double edged. This means it has measurements on both sides and either side can be used to measure from. |

A drywall T square is used to accurately measure a sheet of plasterboard and to guide a knife, or similar blade, when cutting the sheet to size.
