From the Manufacturer The Swanson Tool SO101 7-inch Speed Square is a popular pocket-sized square that incorporates features of the framing square, tri, miter, and protractor squares. Common rafter and hip/valley rafter scales permit one-number references for all cuts. The square is merely rotated to the proper roof pitch value on either scale to assure the correct angle cut. The slot along the scales will accommodate an adjustable locking pin for repetitive cuts using any 1/4-inch bolt and nut. Comes with a handy, 62-page pocket sized booklet that provides vital instructions, reference diagrams, and tables for the construction of roofs and stairs.

We manufactured it as a right triangle with that use in mind - its hypotenuse (the long side of the triangle) is an exact 45-degree angle. Thanks for your interest in our square! The Swnason Team **Q: Which size (7 or 12) would be best for a re-roofing project?** A: Typically a framing square would be the most helpful with a roofing project. But if I had to choose one or the other, I guess the 12. While 7 is standard, it will not span the short dimension of the shingle. **Q: Does the ruler also have units of measurement of centimeters?** A: Hi Tomer, Great question! This Speed Square, our model # S0101, does not include metric units of measurement. Our Metric Speed Square, model # NA202 (and available on Amazon.com) does have metric units of measurement. Hope that helps!
