Review on 🔲 STANLEY 7-Inch Carpenter Square: Premium Quick Square Layout Tool (Model 46-071) by Ricardo Anderson

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand I like the visibility of the markings and the light weight of the tool. Then again, there's a reason another company has a trademark and patent for a real "Speed Square". I still use this square for my roofing tape, but I bought the original Swanson Speed Square for my real woodworking type. jobs. The main benefit you get for the latter is the 1 1/2" and 3 1/2" grooves for the width of the layout board. I use both squares regularly and have just found the Swanson product to be a bit more comfortable to use. I'm still very happy with this version of the Stanley (I even bought one for a friend for her roof boot), I just don't use it that often. Pros: - Easy to read - Lightweight (but still metallic) Cons: - No handy grooves for markers - Doesn't come with a handy little guide like the other one
