The fixed-angle geometry of standard triangles (30\/60° and 45°) provides quick layout of the most common angles without the protractor reading and locking that adjustable angle tools require. For Australian toolmakers, fitters, and trade workers needing accurate angle layout, the right triangle set is essential.
