Outstanding Tool. [Posted on 2004-07-18] One of the most usefull tools. You might have many, but only few are used on a daily basis. Swanson Speed Square is among them.
I use it mostly as a guide for my jigsaw, to mark and cut drywall and to draw the angles.
Speed Square without speed [Posted on 2006-11-03] The square is rugged and very good for guiding a saw router and such like, it is quite poorly made from an appearance aspect but has good functionality but is not "metrified" only being made in imperial.
The sliding guide is again quite functional and appears somewhat poorly made but this masks the robustness of the unti
Biiiiiig [Posted on 2007-01-10] This square is big. I used to think it was too big. Then I started using it as saw guide whenever I cut 12" Shelving. That seems to be the true calling for this square. Probably would work great for cutting big rafters too but isn't that what a framing square with gauges is for? The seven inch model is much more practical
Framing Square [Posted on 2007-03-08] very good framing square, the little book is also very helpful for the occasional framer.
Why don't you already own it? [Posted on 2008-04-14] I've posted a more detailed review on the 7" model, which I also use. Both have their place and both are cheap. Great product. I can't even remember the last person I ran into doing framing that didn't use one.
