The 7inch Speed Square (S0101) The plain 7inch Speed Square (T0101) The Big 12 with Layout Bar (S0107) The plain 12inch Speed Square (T0108) The Metric Speed Square (NA202) The Speed Square Bundle (SW1201K) Our patented Speed Squres are not just for roofers. This universal tool is a must have for all jobs Protractor Set the Speed Square against your board and pivot to the angle you need: 1 to 90 degrees are clearly marked. Tri Square Any job that requires multiple (repetitive), accurate markings, such as locating studs, laying out stringers for stairs, positioning floor joists needs a speed square just for the time-saving feature alone. Cutting Guide For a clean, straight 45 or 90 degree cut, use the Speed Square as a fence to ensure your blade never moves off line. Scribing The Speed Square includes multiple notch marks so scribing is simple, and ripping stock is easy and accurate. Review: Truly brilliant...! - I've been a carpenter in UK for over 40 years and didn't know that 'speed squares' existed until seeing one being explained on a YouTube video last year. Just goes to show how long I've had my head in the sand believing that combination and try squares were the answer to everything. Firstly, I want to point out that these things are designed for speed and the markings are big to be visible with ease, which I suppose could render them 'good enough' rather than pinpoint accurate (though they are accurate). If anything, I would describe them as being the Swiss Army Knife of carpentry - especially when you get the 7" and 12" twin set, which even comes with a little book of tables for calculating roof and stair angles. The metal is thick and solid. There are loads of markings and scales for measuring lengths and angles. They can be used as horizontal and vertical levels. You can use them as guides for a circular saw. There are pencil notches to drag out parallel lines. I mean, they do it all, apart from cut the wood for you. As you may have guessed, they have become integral - indispensable - tools in my kit. They save so much time that it would be inefficient not to use them. I still use a combi square for the occasional instances that they are required (measuring and marking accurate depths and so on) but it is no longer my primary 'go to' square. All in all, an excellent product at a great price.

At Swanson, we feel strongly that each product description needs to be specific, so you receive exactly the tool you are expecting. This bundle item, which is model # SW1201K, includes our classic 7" square (the S0101) and the 12" Big Square (the S0107). However, if you look up the S0107 by itself on Amazon, you'll see it traditionally ships with a layout bar which is an essential component that you would use when working with out-of-square corners and/or creating stair stringers. We just want to make sure you know that you're still receiving the Big 12" - but for model # SW1201K, the Big 12 does not include the layout bar. Thanks! The Swanson Team **Q: Couldn't understand why the 7"+12"combo is more expensive?** A: I dont know of the price issue, but i suggest you to purchase 12" square only with a layout Bar as off-set measurements can be best and easily assessed with the later attachment. **Q: Why so long for them to be shipped???** A: Took mine 2-3 days give or take but I had prime **Q: is there a metric version?** A: Great question! We do offer a 25 cm Metric Square with 2 different blue books, and Amazon carries it in both styles. Model # NA202 is the 25 cm Speed Square that comes with a Blue Book of instructions in English and Spanish. Model # EU202 is the 25 cm Speed Square that comes with a Blue Book of instructions in English, German and French. Hope that helps!

I couldn't do without it. They even sit proudly in the 'handy box' section of my shed where i keep my most used tools. I still use my short steel rule as well, but i use it less and less for quick marking now since i got these. I feel confident when marking up cuts and getting angles i need, that's just how good this set it. This set is Made in the USA i see. Normally (and sadly) seeing Made in the USA gives the same feeling as Made In China for certain products, but this is a solid and well done product. I hope to see the return of that confidence when i can just take it for granted that when it says Made in the USA on it, that i can just pick it up and not have to worry. Sadly it's the same story with products made here in the UK, i hope that changes for the better as well. The little booklet this set comes with was a bonus too, and I am very thankfull for it. Glad i took the punt on this. It paid off in the end. ## Frequently Bought Together - SWANSON Tool Co., Inc SW1201K Value Pack 7 inch Speed Square and Big 12 Speed Square (without layout bar) ships with Blue Book - Mr. Pen- Carpenter Square, Framing Square, 8 inch x 12 inch , Carpenters Square , Right Angle Ruler, Framing Tools, L Shape Ruler, Metal Square, Steel Square - Klein Tools 935FSQ Framing Square, 24-Inch x 16-Inch, L Shape Carpenter Woodworking Tool with Laser Etched Rafter Tables and Octagon Scales --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fi/products/51316626-sw1201k-7-and-big-12-speed-square-layout-tool-kit](https://www.desertcart.fi/products/51316626-sw1201k-7-and-big-12-speed-square-layout-tool-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Finland* *Store origin: FI* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
