SWANSON TOSB01 Speed Folding Square Review

Some people say it doesn't form a 90 degree angle. WORKS when you snap it fully into the hypotenuse leg. This is a very cool tool!

I used it for years and assumed it was square until it ruined an important project and I realized it WAS NOT SQUARE! I had to check. Other reviews now that I've bought it also say it's not square. There is no excuse.

I bought this tool to replace my inclinometer. What I like best is that it's easy to use and since it's in degrees you can set your saw to that exact angle once you find the angle to cut. make multiple cuts quickly and accurately. Also, it folds up and doesn't take up much space in your tool bag. I love this shop!

Great concept and cool design, but unfortunately not quite square. I bought it because I was looking for a compact square with speed. It's fairly compact, but there's no questioning the speed and accuracy of this tool when you need to review and redraw every line you create. The space this foldable tool saves isn't worth the hassle it causes. I often choose to keep my non-foldable metal speed with me because I know I can trust it.
