## Description

Product Description Streamline your carpentry and framing projects with the Swanson Tool Co T0118 8-inch Orange Speedlite Square. Crafted from high-impact polystyrene, this lightweight yet incredibly durable layout tool is designed to withstand the rigors of a busy jobsite while remaining easy to handle. Its vibrant orange design ensures high visibility, so you’ll never lose track of it in your toolbox or among wood scraps. This versatile tool acts as five tools in one: a try square, miter square, saw guide, line scriber, and protractor, making it an essential companion for everything from deck building to general home repairs. The 8-inch size provides an extended surface for marking wider lumber, while the matte finish helps reduce glare for easy reading in direct sunlight. Whether you are a professional contractor or a weekend DIY enthusiast, the Speedlite Square delivers the trusted accuracy and rugged performance that has made Swanson a household name in layout tools. From the Manufacturer The 8-Inch Speedlite square is formed from lightweight, high-impact structural composite and is available in matte gray, high-visibility yellow and high-visibility orange. It's basically the same as the one and only speed square but is also great for use with siding and other delicate materials, since it won't mar soft finishes. Plus, its 8-Inch size means it's ideal for marking cuts in 8-Inch siding. Look for the diamond

Review: Good enough - Might be plastic, but cheapeat i could find that wasnt around $100. I mainly work with a 16" mechanical seam panel and comes very handy for saving time in squaring off a panel for a cut as most squares are 7" and you either have to eyeball 2", or extend the line with the flat part. With this square, you get the job done faster and fits in the same square pocket in your tool pouches. Made out of plastic, but i aint misusing the dam tool. I still have to eyeball about a 1/4" because it doesnt fully reach 8", due to the edge curvature it gets 7-7/8" mark. Might purchase a good one after this breaks, but atleast i know it fits the tool pouches almost the same. Sticks up just a little higher, but doesnt bother, for what it does. Super lightweight too. I write my measurements on the flat part and they erase easily with thumb
Review: Old standby - Such a good deal on a quality tool I bought 3 of them.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is material?? I have got the plastic one.**
A: It is plastic -- probably compression-molded glass filled.  I gave mine to a local charity.

**Q: how many in a single order do you get?**
A: Hi Imre,
Great question!  We offer these on Amazon as single units, so if you want more than 1 T0112, you'll need to select the exact quantity you'd like to buy and then add them all to your cart.
Hope that helps!
The Swanson Team

**Q: will it float in water, building a boat dock ..  dropped my aluminum one, sank like a rock..**
A: Ok I had to try this out in the shop sink and Mine did not float. However it did not sink instantly but it did sank.
Get a floating key chain like the ones used on a boat with the stainless chain to attach while your using it near the water. Little inconvenient but that will keep it a float if you drop it again. Once your dock is done go fishing for that Aluminum Catfish Square with a treble hook. LOL Have Fun and Good Luck

**Q: What type of plastic is it made of?**
A: Great question!  This square is made from High Impact Polystyrene - a "plastic" that is far more rugged and durable than a run-of-the-mill plastic.  It is also easier to form, so it's accurate and lasting.
thanks,
The Swanson Team

Such a good deal on a quality tool I bought 3 of them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice compact square
*by Q***L on March 16, 2023*

Purchased this for just a quick job to square up my 3d printers and it’s obviously super easy to use. Everything is straight and square. Can be used to do multiple things but as stated I only used it for one thing. Made with great quality, seems super durable and can last long on any job site. Super light and not overly bulky and can fit in carpenter bag. Highly recommend for small projects around the house and can only assume it will work and last on any job site for years to come, obviously haven’t tested that claim. Great value for your money and definitely recommend
