Sheet metal workers use basic and special tools to measure and cut specific sheet metal lengths and sizes. It is necessary for a sheet metal worker to posses these tools as each tool has its own use.

Measuring:

Lay outing sheet metal requires the use of a tape measure to measure larger sizes and longer lengths. A circumference rule is also needed to make precise measurements and for calculating round pipe circumference. Dividers are used to divide circles by determining radius points.

Marking tools:

A sheet metal worker needs to have a marking tool at hand all the time. It is used to draw a line or mark a point of measurement.

Marker – a marker has a thick felt tip which makes it a good tool to use for creating bends or marking cut points.

Awl – awl has a pointed tip, making it a good tool to mark precise measurements for cutting.

Squares:

It is important for sheet metal workers to make precise angles in sheet metal. Using a square is a fast and accurate way to create a 90 degree corner angle on sheet metal.

Angle finders are also the best tools to use when locating an accurate angle form 0-180 degrees.
