Great for EVERY construction/woodworking project! The 12 inch and 7 inch Speed Square Value Pack *includes* the Blue Book!
Two Squares, Many Projects
Because our patented Speed Squares are not just for roofers. This universal tool is a must have for all jobs
Swanson's Patented Diamond Cutout
Our Diamond Cutout is an exceptional feature.
When you need to square your scribed line, the Diamond Cutout lets you see - and align - your scribed line.
Now you can make a 90° line off your scribed angled to the edge of the board, knowing it's spot on and accurate. (not featured on the Big 12, model S0107)
Swanson's Pivot Point
Use the pivot point to turn your Speed Square into a protractor.
Mark the pivot point on your board, and then move (pivot) the square to the degree of the cut you're looking to make.
Mark the angle and you’re ready to cut. This is especially handy for stair stringers, and the pitch of roof rafters.
Swanson's Fence
Everybody loves to use a Speed Square for its Try square convenience, and the sturdy fence that makes up the base of our speed squares ensures that you'll be able to snug any of these squares against your board and make the most accurate and reliable scribe lines you need for your cuts. Scribe 90-degree and 45-degree lines with confidence!
Swanson's Scribe Bar
It's not always easy or convenient to scribe a rip or trim line along a board - unless you have a speed square! Featured here are the 7" Speed Square S0101 with notches every 1/4 inch, and the 8" T0118 which has notches every 1/8 inch.
Set your carpenter pencil into the notch that matches what you're looking to rip or trim and run the fence along the edge of your board.
Always rugged, and turly built to last.
