Great Tool: Measuring & Marking Tools

A friend of mine introduced me to this type of angle when we were renovating my basement, so I took this version of the Swanson Speed Square Angle and Overall. I am very happy with it. The Rafter or Angle as a general tool class is absolutely amazing. I don't know how I've never used or owned it before. The Stanley version is a good, solid tool and lacks the little prongs inside to draw lines at predetermined intervals along the length of the board, which is part of the brand's design. Overallโ€ฆ

I bought 4 of these for our construction site

I recently had a number of construction projects including a couple of sheds and a 1000 square foot house. I bought four of these squares to have on hand for anyone coming to the rescue. We've only used them to mark cut lines on boards, so I can't speak to the tricky corners some people use them for. However, for drawing perfect cutting lines on any board, this square is great. It's lightweight, fits in your back pocket, and is durable. We must have dropped them 1000 times and they are stillโ€ฆ

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some difficulties

I prefer Craftsman Speed โ€‹โ€‹Square

is a Speed Square. It does the job. However, I ended up getting a Craftsman speed square from Sears. Now he's my captain. It's also made of aluminum, but it's thicker in thickness, making it less likely to warp or break. It also has some features that the Stanley doesn't have, such as: B. the ability to draw a parallel line from 1 inch to 5.5 inches from the edge of a piece of wood. That means if you're planning to cut an 8-foot board and need to trim 3 inches, you can use the Craftsman toโ€ฆ

Buy, you will like it!

Started out as a union carpenter, retired about 26 years ago. We looked down on 'ham and eggs' using such 'speed squares', mainly because we didn't (when you were in training you had a very tight list of tools to buy, and there wasn't one room for manoeuvre) . from the list). After retiring from the trade, I continued with building projects and bought an inexpensive course of this kind. It was "good" but due to the poor workmanship I had to double check that the drawn line was square. I boughtโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel

Stanley "Speed " Square

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
