Editorial Reviews
From the Manufacturer
Swanson's Speed Square is a popular pocket-sized square that incorporates features of the framing square, tri, miter, and protractor squares. Common rafter and hip/valley rafter scales permit one-number references for all cuts. The square is merely rotated to the proper roof pitch value on teither scale to assure the correct angle cut. The slot along the scales will accommodate an adjustable locking pin for repetitive cuts using any 1/4-inch bolt and nut. Comes with a handy, 62-page pocket sized booklet that provides vital instructions, reference diagrams, and tables for the construction of roofs and stairs.
Customer Reviews
Why don't you already own it?
I used a framing square for years before I bought a speed square. What an idiot! In the hands of anyone except a genuine expert (when was the last time you saw someone use the 100ths table or work out complex compound cuts on a framer?), the speed square will do as much and do it faster. It's actually superior for 90 degree cross-cuts and, for general framing use, just as good for angle cuts. It will also keep its accuracy forever, unlike a framing square. The aluminum models are the only ones to buy - I can't imagine why ANYONE would buy a plastic speed square for the piddly difference in price. I have a 7" and a 12" and use them both all the time.
Definition of a square.
In response to the erroneous definition by R. Harper. A square is a device used to construct a right triangle. (woodworker's). Therefore, a square has nothing to do with its shape. The Swanson Tool is one of the most used tools in any construction project, including my shop.

Honestly.
This tool is awesome, but I must say-- IT IS NOT A SQUARE!
It is so obviously a triangle.
