Shop Swanson Tool S0101 7-inch Speed Square Layout Tool with Blue Book | Made in the USA by Swanson Tool Company. Every Speed® Square is CNC machined to a perfect 45° and 90° corner.. Review: Unbeatable for framing work - This is not a replacement for an adjustable combination square and is not suitable for fine work, but for its intended use in framing work it is brilliant. The pencil notches for marking lines parallel to the edge of a board are very useful when ripping wood and the protractor feature is surprisingly usable (though again, not really for marking off 3.25 degrees!) The wide base makes this convenient for checking joints for plumb as it will stand on its own quite securely; this base also makes a really solid rest for when you want to mark a cutting line at 90 degrees - it hooks over the edge of a standard CLS 2x X timber perfectly and gives a far more positive result than a standard combination square (the full length of the side of the square being in contact with the timber really helps here too.) I have not yet used the square for the purpose for which I bought it (laying out rafters for my current project) but hope to do so soon - the accompanying "blue book" seems fairly comprehensive and I'm confident this square will make my life a lot easier when the time comes. Overall the square is well made from nice thick metal and very nicely finished. My only criticism would be that the black paint applied to the markings wasn't particularly thorough; as the markings themselves are deeply recessed into the metal there is no issue in practice. Edit: I have since used it to make rafters and very much more and it was excellent. Once you've figured out the desired roof pitch it's so simple to get every cut at the right angle - not just for rafters but things like barge boards, sheathing, lining, interior trim etc. Worth every penny. Review: Adore this - I only every used one of these once and that was plastic but take the time and learn all the things this does , brilliant addition and a must for woodworkers in particular Swanson are a good brand and this shows it to be true good solid aluminium light bet very strong I would say unbeatable the writing is clear . It’s perfect and fits in my back pocket A must have ## Features - 7-Inch speed square; fits in pocket - Incorporates features of framing square, Tri square, mitre square, and protractor square - Features: 1/4 in.

We manufactured it as a right triangle with that use in mind - its hypotenuse (the long side of the triangle) is an exact 45-degree angle. Thanks for your interest in our square! The Swnason Team **Q: Which size (7 or 12) would be best for a re-roofing project?** A: Typically a framing square would be the most helpful with a roofing project. But if I had to choose one or the other, I guess the 12. While 7 is standard, it will not span the short dimension of the shingle. **Q: Does the ruler also have units of measurement of centimeters?** A: Hi Tomer, Great question! This Speed Square, our model # S0101, does not include metric units of measurement. Our Metric Speed Square, model # NA202 (and available on Amazon.com) does have metric units of measurement. Hope that helps!
