Description

Size:12-Inch This Big 12 Speedlite Square is a lightweight take on the 12-inch version of the Swanson Speed Square, first developed by company founder Albert Swanson in 1925. The innovative Speedlite Square is everything you know and love about the Speed Square, but it’s especially great for use with siding and other delicate materials, since it won’t mar soft finishes. This innovative tool combines 5 tools into 1: 1. Try Square, 2. Miter Square, 3. Saw Guide, 4. Line Scriber, and 5. Protractor. This model is constructed of lightweight, high-impact composite in a high-visibility orange color. The Speedlite Square also includes markings for using the Swanson One- Number Method of rafter layout. The Swanson Speed Square is our most popular product and remains the most trusted square of its kind. Look for the Diamond cutout for genuine Swanson products. The Swanson 12-Inch Speedlite Square is constructed of lightweight high-impact structural foam plastic, making it ideal for use on siding as it will not scratch the finish. It includes 1/4-inch spaced notches to use for scribing lines. Its bright orange color makes it easy to see and easy to find. It is covered by a 1-year limited warranty.

  • durable, and very useful
Color: Orange
Cutting laminated shingles square and at precise lengths was a hassle. The Speedlight's 12" fence makes it much easier. For lumber, the square can guide the base plate of a saw. Because I keep putting the square down, the color helps me spot it when I need it again. On youtube, a carpenter showed speedquare like mine with black markings. He said he'd smeared on acrylic paint, then wiped it off the surface with a cloth. It wasn't so easy for me. I needed a toothpick to paint in the straight grooves and a cotton swab to dab paint into the characters. Wiping with a damp cloth made a mess until I learned to blot the paint with toilet paper first. The results were worth the trouble. If I have in my pocket a couple of feet of small string, weighted at one end, this square will show me the pitch of a roof. At the rake, I turn the square so that the fence is toward the peak and the ruled side is along the roof or facia board. If I suspend the string from the pivot notch, it will show the pitch in degrees or inches in 12. The upper "CL" mark has an indentation to guide a drill bit. I used a 1/16" bit to make a hole big enough for my pocket plumb line. If I suspend the line from the hole and adjust the square so that the lower CL mark lines up with the string, the hypotenuse is level, as in the second photo. If I don't have a pocket plumb line, it will still show me vertical and horizontal if i suspend it by the diamond hole, as in the first photo. ... show more

  • light weight accurate
Color: Orange
I like the bright color handy to spot in the wood shop or if dropped on the ground . Also like light weight in tool belt. Numbers and slash marks could be easer to read, better if they were contrasting color. Thats the only draw back. Hence the reason for 4 stars. But I took fine line black magic marker and highlighted the slash marks and fixed that. Very satisfied! ... show more

  • Good square, but color and markings not to my preference
Color: Orange
It's square. But the markings are hard to read and I didn't want to spend time coloring them in when I can just buy one that I can read for about the same price. Also, this is a personal thing, but the orange color actually almost stings my eyes. It's irritating to look at. Makes it easy to find, but it started to drive me crazy just sitting there. I'm sure most won't have that problem, though. I might have sensitive eyes or something. Anyways I prefer the hi-viz yellow or just plain al, blue, or black, with a good location to keep it so it isn't lost in clutter. ... show more

  • No more: "Who took my %#$*& square!?"
Color: Orange
It's BRIGHT NEON ORANGE!!. Not even I can't lose it. Not even working out in the woods. And good luck to anyone trying to walk off with your square becasue Aliens can see this thing from outer space. I wish all my tools were this color. It's thick sturdy plastic. The numbers and lines are embossed, so they'll never wear off or wipe off. Strong but lightweight. No stabby corners like the metal ones. Every handyman needs one of these BRIGHT NEON ORANGE squares. ... show more

  • Great value for the price!
Color: Orange
Really was very pleased and impressed. I thought with it being made from plastic/polymer that it wouldn’t just be inexpensive, but that it would be cheap and cheaply made. I’m happy to say that’s not the case. Checked it with some of my other squares including some high end Starret carpenter squares and it’s dead on. Great bang for the buck on these and the nice thing is it’s super bright so it’s easy to find and if you do somehow lose it, then it’s not terribly expensive to replace it. All around a great value. ... show more

  • I use this in every DIY project
Color: Orange
I started woodworking this year and I love this tool. Very accurate and precise for measurements. I totally hate that print color as it's hard to read orange on orange. I spray painted my piece and then wiped off excess paint to get black markings. Love it. Must buy !!!

  • Makes a great boomerang as well.
Color: Orange
This is a awesome tool to have, seems sturdy so far, measurements seem to be accurate. It comes with a little cheat sheet on how to use it incase you went to public school and didn’t get taught math. My only complaint is the numbers are a little hard to read sometimes, it would be helpful if they were a contrasting color. ... show more

  • Felt Like a pro
Color: Orange
I brought this after watching several youtube videos on how to use a circular saw. They recommend using this as a guide for straighter lines. I used this Square tool and it worked like a charm. I was able to use it as a guide and cut clean lines into the wood project I was working on. Made out of quality material. This was a great buy. ... show more
