Product Description

Swanson Tool Company has combined our two top-selling speed squares as a value-packed, two-item kit. Both the Speed Square and the Big 12 Speed Square are innovative tools with incredible versatility since you can use them in place of a number of other tools: 1. Try Square, 2. Miter Square, 3. Saw Guide, 4. Line Scriber, 5. Protractor. The Big 12 Speed Square can also serve as an Out-of-Square Corner Angle Finder and Stair Layout Square. The Big 12 Speed Square is a 12-inch version of the Swanson Speed Square with added features for building stairs. Both Speed Squares are die-cast for durability and accuracy. Made of heavy-gauge aerospace aluminum alloy, they are built to last years on the job site. Black-filled gradations stand out against a matte finish for easy reading and are simple to use with 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

Great for EVERY construction/woodworking project! The 12 inch and 7 inch Speed Square Value Pack *includes* the Blue Book!

7 inch and 12 inch speed squares with the blue book against a black background

Two Squares, Many Projects

Because our patented Speed Squares are not just for roofers. This universal tool is a must have for all jobs

close up of the 2 patented diamond cutouts at 3 and a half inches - great for seat cuts

close up of the two pivot points just above the fence (base) of the speed squares

close up of the fence/base/foot of the speed squares - shows they're great as a saw guide

Swanson's Patented Diamond Cutout

Our Diamond Cutout is an exceptional feature.

When you need to square your scribed line, the Diamond Cutout lets you see - and align - your scribed line.

Now you can make a 90° line off your scribed angled to the edge of the board, knowing it's spot on and accurate. (not featured on the Big 12, model S0107)

Swanson's Pivot Point

Use the pivot point to turn your Speed Square into a protractor.

Mark the pivot point on your board, and then move (pivot) the square to the degree of the cut you're looking to make.

Mark the angle and you’re ready to cut. This is especially handy for stair stringers, and the pitch of roof rafters.

Swanson's Fence

Everybody loves to use a Speed Square for its Try square convenience, and the sturdy fence that makes up the base of our speed squares ensures that you'll be able to snug any of these squares against your board and make the most accurate and reliable scribe lines you need for your cuts. Scribe 90-degree and 45-degree lines with confidence!

Swanson's Scribe Bar

It's not always easy or convenient to scribe a rip or trim line along a board - unless you have a speed square! Featured here are the 7" Speed Square S0101 with notches every 1/4 inch, and the 8" T0118 which has notches every 1/8 inch.

Set your carpenter pencil into the notch that matches what you're looking to rip or trim and run the fence along the edge of your board.

Use Speed Squares in any of the 4 different sizes

Always rugged, and turly built to last.

Everyone loves the easy reference material in the Swanson Blue BOok
Swanson's Blue Book of rafter lengths & roof construction

Please note: the Blue Book ships with the aluminum Speed Square value pack (model # SW1201K) only.

The orange composite value pack (model #T0701T0118) does not include this book.

  • Blue Book Includes Swanson's 'One-Number' method
  • 44 pages of detailed reference data
  • Lists of length of rafter per foot runs
  • Now with Full 90-degree Scale

Only 1 manufacturer gets to call its squares the Speed Square

Today our Speed Squares are manufactured in different sizes and are made from different materials so that we address the many different needs that contractors, construction professionals and DIYers have for every job and any project.

    I saw many videos showing the use of a speed square and how it was used to keep your work nice and square so I decided to get one

    I saw many videos showing the use of a speed square and how it was used to keep your work nice and square so I decided to get one
    I decided to build me a wooden work bench, something that was new to me. I'm not a carpenter just a normal person that likes to dabble in home projects and this was going to be probably the biggest one for me so far. I saw many videos showing the use of a speed square and how it was used to keep your work nice and square so I decided to get one. I got this particular one because it came with two squares. A big one and small one. It wasn't hard figuring out how to use it after watching the videos. There are so many different ways to use this square everyone needs to have at least one in their tool box. If it wasn't for using this square I would have had no way in knowing whether my work bench was being built nice and square. Because of this square my bench came out ridiculously nice and perfectly square. For me that's an accomplishment! There's still many uses i haven't tried with this square but knowing that I can turn to this whenever I need is a good feeling.I like how these are made of aluminum. These will last forever if taken care of. These even come with a book to help those of you that are into actual house building, which I am not. I would suggest if you do end up getting a Swanson square might as well get the two pack and save money. I've attached some photos of my work bench build.
