Always rugged, and turly built to last. Speed Squares have been in production since 1925, Proudly Made In America 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. 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: Quality square - A fantastic square from a brand I trust. Perfectly square accurate Also works really well as a circular saw guide fence. I also have the other swanson squares and I wouldn’t want to be without them Review: Unbeatable for framing work - This is not a replacement for an adjustable combination square and is not suitable for fine work, but for its intended use in framing work it is brilliant. The pencil notches for marking lines parallel to the edge of a board are very useful when ripping wood and the protractor feature is surprisingly usable (though again, not really for marking off 3.25 degrees!) The wide base makes this convenient for checking joints for plumb as it will stand on its own quite securely; this base also makes a really solid rest for when you want to mark a cutting line at 90 degrees - it hooks over the edge of a standard CLS 2x X timber perfectly and gives a far more positive result than a standard combination square (the full length of the side of the square being in contact with the timber really helps here too.) I have not yet used the square for the purpose for which I bought it (laying out rafters for my current project) but hope to do so soon - the accompanying "blue book" seems fairly comprehensive and I'm confident this square will make my life a lot easier when the time comes. Overall the square is well made from nice thick metal and very nicely finished. My only criticism would be that the black paint applied to the markings wasn't particularly thorough; as the markings themselves are deeply recessed into the metal there is no issue in practice. Edit: I have since used it to make rafters and very much more and it was excellent. Once you've figured out the desired roof pitch it's so simple to get every cut at the right angle - not just for rafters but things like barge boards, sheathing, lining, interior trim etc. Worth every penny. ## Features - 7 inch and 12 inch Speed Squares included - Heavy gauge aluminum alloy construction - Matte finish to prevent glare - 1/4 inch spaced notches to facilitate scribing lines - Made in the USA ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01CI4UBN6 | | Best Sellers Rank | 14,346 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 33 in Carpentry Squares | | Brand | Swanson | | Colour | Blue | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 29,976 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00038987001178 | | Graduation Range | 1/4 Inches | | Graduation range | 1/4 Inches | | Included Components | 1 Swanson 7", 1 Swanson Big 12" Speed Square & 1 44-page Swanson Blue Book | | Item Dimensions L x W | 44.1L x 4.1W centimetres | | Item Type Name | Speed Square | | Manufacturer | Swanson | | Manufacturer Part Number | SW1201K | | Material | Aluminium | | Model Number | SW1201K | | Product dimensions | 44.1L x 4.1W centimetres | | Style | Modern | | Style Name | Modern | | UPC | 038987001178 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Swanson - **Colour:** Blue - **Graduation range:** 1/4 Inches - **Material:** Aluminium - **Style:** Modern ## Images ![Swanson SW1201K 7" & Big 12" Speed Square Layout Tool Kit Without Layout Bar,Blue - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81KCyfZGRUL.jpg) ![Swanson SW1201K 7" & Big 12" Speed Square Layout Tool Kit Without Layout Bar,Blue - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71e33tEmomL.jpg) ![Swanson SW1201K 7" & Big 12" Speed Square Layout Tool Kit Without Layout Bar,Blue - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71iGb7AWEmL.jpg) ![Swanson SW1201K 7" & Big 12" Speed Square Layout Tool Kit Without Layout Bar,Blue - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Adq+GJTcL.jpg) ![Swanson SW1201K 7" & Big 12" Speed Square Layout Tool Kit Without Layout Bar,Blue - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ipDz1YBML.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What does it mean by "without layout bar"?** A: Great question! 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!

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. ## 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? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/51316626-swanson-sw1201k-7-and-big-12-speed-square-layout-tool](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/51316626-swanson-sw1201k-7-and-big-12-speed-square-layout-tool) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
