Description

Winner of the popular mechanics editor's choice award and the retailers' choice award of distinction, the Speedlite Square is an all- around crowd pleaser. This Square is an 8 inch lightweight 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 and is available in gray and high-visibility orange, and high-visibility yellow. 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. From the Manufacturer The 8-Inch Speedlite square is formed from lightweight, high-impact structural composite and is available in matte gray, high-visibility yellow and high- visibility orange. It's basically the same as the one and only speed square but is also great for use with siding and other delicate materials, since it won't mar soft finishes. Plus, its 8-Inch size means it's ideal for marking cuts in 8-Inch siding. Look for the diamond

  • Excellent square
Color: Orange Size: 8-Inch
This square has been perfect for me. It’s a great quality for the price and I love the bright orange color so I don’t lose it in the middle of my project. It’s durable and it squares up my projects perfectly! It’s also lightweight to reduce your belt weight. I definitely recommend this to anyone needing a square in a budget! ... show more

  • Light and durable, easy to read
Color: Orange Size: 8-Inch
Nice little square. I like that it is light and hi-vis, so you can find it quickly if you drop it in grass while making your cuts. So useful, especially if you look up some quick tricks for speed squares. A versatile tool that is a must-have when doing woodworking projects.

  • Good enough
Might be plastic, but cheapeat i could find that wasnt around $100. I mainly work with a 16" mechanical seam panel and comes very handy for saving time in squaring off a panel for a cut as most squares are 7" and you either have to eyeball 2", or extend the line with the flat part. With this square, you get the job done faster and fits in the same square pocket in your tool pouches. Made out of plastic, but i aint misusing the dam tool. I still have to eyeball about a 1/4" because it doesnt fully reach 8", due to the edge curvature it gets 7-7/8" mark. Might purchase a good one after this breaks, but atleast i know it fits the tool pouches almost the same. Sticks up just a little higher, but doesnt bother, for what it does. Super lightweight too. I write my measurements on the flat part and they erase easily with thumb ... show more

  • It's Orange, and Plastic.
Color: Orange Size: 8-Inch
I like orange and plastic. Why bother with an expensive metal speed square when I hardly ever use it. If I was working professionally on an old house, perhaps I can work magic with a professional speed square. For me, this works fine. Did I mention it is orange and plastic. It is also cheap.
