The True Blue® lineup now includes guaranteed-accurate,

The True Blue® squares feature our unique blue vial for
unparalleled accuracy and visibility. We think these new
combination squares will become the choice of both professionals
and hobbyists who demand the best tools for their jobs,"
says Jenni Becker, President of Empire. .
Customer research conducted by Empire at construction
sites nationwide has shown that one of the key requirements
of a good square is the ability to read it quickly and
accurately, in virtually all lighting conditions. Along
with the etched graduations and matte finished blades,
these squares feature a True Blue® vial in each head with
patent-pending blue bands that darken and define the bubble
perimeter to provide enhanced visibility. .
True Blue® vials are produced through a proprietary process
called Advanced Concentric Molding (ACM), pioneered
by Empire. The ACM process assures repeatability so that
all True Blue® vials meet the same stringent standards
for accuracy, consistency, and concentricity. .

accurate for squareness to a tolerance of .001” per inch.

of reference to ensure accuracy, a process unique to Empire.
