What are the tools associated with the Fellow Craft degree?
The tools associated with the Fellow Craft degree in Freemasonry are the Plumb, Square, and Level. These tools are not merely instruments of craft but symbolize the moral and intellectual development of the Mason.
The Plumb is used to try perpendiculars and teaches us to walk uprightly in our various stations before God and man. The Square is used to square our work and reminds us to square our actions by the square of virtue. The Level signifies equality and the understanding that all men are brethren, reminding us that we are all traveling upon the level of time to that 'undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns'【4:0†source】.
