Swanson Tool Co 7" Aluminum Speed Square with Blue Book, Rafter Square, Model S0101

Was a dollar cheaper than Amazon.com and here again I thought I was going to the store to pick it up that night so I was super happy to order it this way. When I found out it was being delivered days later I decided the lower price needs to really wow me to sway me from Amazon.com as I'm already a student prime member and Walmart doesn't offer any student plus account that I've seen.

Great delivery service and great professional driver service

BUILD VERY WELL.

This speed square is perfect, for home or on a contractor job.

This is made from solid steel and is very heavy not one of the cheap plastic ones thet break all the time its is laser etched and all munbers and lines are extremly east to read and use

I've been doing lots of remodeling and construction in my life and nothing compares to having a Swanson speed square. It gives you all the correct angles and measurements you need for cutting rafters, hip and valley rafters. The diamond will give you the perfect angle for cutting your seat cuts (birds mouth) on rafters. The blue book it comes with has all the answers for you with all the math done for you when deciding how long to cut rafters.

I decided to build me a wooden work bench, something that was new to me. I'm not a carpenter just a normal person that likes to dabble in home projects and this was going to be probably the biggest one for me so far. I saw many videos showing the use of a speed square and how it was used to keep your work nice and square so I decided to get one. I got this particular one because it came with two squares. A big one and small one. It wasn't hard figuring out how to use it after watching the videos. There are so many different ways to use this square everyone needs to have at least one in their tool box. If it wasn't for using this square I would have had no way in knowing whether my work bench was being built nice and square. Because of this square my bench came out ridiculously nice and perfectly square. For me that's an accomplishment! There's still many uses i haven't tried with this square but knowing that I can turn to this whenever I need is a good feeling. I like how these are made of aluminum. These will last forever if taken care of. These even come with a book to help those of you that are into actual house building, which I am not. I would suggest if you do end up getting a Swanson square might as well get the two pack and save money

Great quality and easy to use. Love the small book that comes with it to really explain all of the great uses.

It's a speed square. Made of aluminum. Markings are bold and engraved— they should remain legible longtime even with repeated abuse. I really like the hard-copy booklet. Though made for roofing, speed squares can do so much more. (find on You Tube). I'd like those in hard copy also.

This is exactly like other speed squares I have purchased before. If you need a speedsquare, this will do the job. I mostly use mine for marking square lines on lumber before cutting. It is also handy the hold against wood as a guide while cutting with a circular saw.
