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.
