A must own for the framer or homeowner

Every carpenter I know carries one of these in his belt, yet few of them actually use it for framing calculations- they use larger squares for that. So what’s the attraction? Simple. By bracing the raised edge along a piece of wood, you can make pefectly square cuts with a circular saw on framing lumber. It’s like have an accurate miterbox with you at the top of a ladder. A must for the homeowner who doesn’t have twenty years of practice making cuts with a framing saw.

OUTSTANDING PRODUCT
Swanson rules when it comes to the speed square. I have this products big brother the 12” model also and cant imagine life without one.These things are bomb proof. In an everyday carpentry kind of way this tool will last forever.It’s an aluminum calculator you can use as a saw guide.on any given day you can walk up to a job site and see these squares hard at work and you know if the industry has adopted it you can rest assured it has proven itself over and over again.Now get out there and square something up.
