## 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.

Review: Perfect for DIYers and experts. A must have tool for your shop. - You gotta have these high quality speed squares in your shop. Must have tools for DIYers and experts alike. Very hefty, thick and durable. Easy read measurements. Even has a manual if you want to check it out to find ways that speed up measuring, angling, and squaring cuts. I like the matte silver color and thick black text/tick marks.

## 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!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for DIYers and experts. A must have tool for your shop.
*by R***N on December 13, 2025*

You gotta have these high quality speed squares in your shop. Must have tools for DIYers and experts alike. Very hefty, thick and durable. Easy read measurements.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice squares
*by D***E on February 3, 2026*

Aluminum squares are just about right for everyday use. Thick enough to survive for awhile Texture is a bit rough so they are easy to hold on to Easy to read numbers and lines Seems to be accurate enough for me

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well worth learning how to use all the features! Watch some videos on youtube!
*by T***X on February 22, 2025*

Pros: It is a real set of SWANSON speed squares! Comes with handy instruction booklet. Very sturdy and rigid metal for years of tough service in construction fields and trustworthy accuracy. You can use it as a SAW guide for quick short cuts angled or straight with something like a battery powered skill saw with good accuracy. CONS: Like any super duper handy tool, there is a learning curve to get the most out of it. I strongly recommend watching a few videos and learn what you need most first. I did find some minor casting defects in my smaller square that came in the set but the defects are purely cosmetic so I did not contact the seller. It would have been nice for their QC to catch this one and reject it before it made it out the door.
