Review: Great combo pack of combination and speed squares, can't do better for the price. - Purchased in April 2021 - so I've had this combo for a little less than two years and this has been perfect for my DIY needs. The speed square mine came with was true as far as I could tell and great for use on rough lumber 2x4's, plywood etc. It's not a machined piece of perfection but it wasn't meant to be - it's straight and angles are accurate for those purposes. If/when I need to measure with accuracy to the nearest millimeter or .001th degree I wouldn't use this or probably any other speed square. I'd use a real measuring ruler and/or the combination square. If I ever needed a speed square with more precision I'd probably take a look at the DFM, Milwaukee or Woodpeckers speed squares, but I don't see that day ever coming. As for the combination square, I don't know if mine came true or not. I assumed it was for several months before checking. By that time, it was off a little so I quickly tried to true it up. There are plenty of YouTube videos out there - but one note of caution: DO NOT FILE DOWN THE REST TABS WITH COMBO RULER like one of the youtubers suggests. Sure it's a steel ruler, but you could round off the edges in the process. Don't ask how I know. Anyway, I was in a rush so I got it close enough. More recently (January 2023), I've had time to actually sit down, take my time and get it perfectly square, using the parallel line test. The whole process took maybe 20 minutes at most and all I used was small strips of rolled up 150 grit and 400 grit sandpaper. As I got closer to perfection I scraped less and less and checked more frequently. Again, no more than 20-30 minutes and now I have a perfectly square piece of equipment. My ruler is straight and the markings are clear so I can use it for relative measurements. But I mostly use it to draw or cut 90 degrees, so I wouldn't care if it was a rhombus parallelogram or whatever else for my purposes. I am not marking it down because I had to true it up - unless you are willing to spend way way way more for a combination square, they all eventually will need to be adjusted. I'm just super glad that I can actually true it up if/when I need to and get it as close to perfection as my eyes can see so easily. If yours doesn't come perfectly square - take 20 minutes to learn how to do it, you will have to at some point anyway. Review: Excellent value and quality as expected. - I was concerned by some other reviews that this speed square might be different than those in stores and possibly with manufacturing flaws, but I took a chance based on Swanson speed squares at the Lowe's where I work. Happily other critical reviews were wrong. These were of the quality I was expecting. I will continue to use my finer measuring tools for precise woodworking measurements but these squares need not be religated to just rough carpentry. The speed square has a clean seam joint which allows it to sit right even against sharper edged project boards; lays flat and does not rock. I used it immediately on a small woodworking project to draw angled lines for jigsaw cuts and also as a quick guide edge for one square crosscut with my cordless circular saw. The small combination square was the perfect size to locate and mark screw holes which only needed to be in 1-5/8" from one edge and down 3/4" from the top edge. It was easier than my larger combo square to hold in place while marking. The two piece package is a great value. The price for both squares was less than the regular price of just the speed square at local retail stores. The booklet (also in store packages) is a nice addition to ensure awareness of various usage features and the markings on the speed square, and to provide some useful info for carpentry. Very pleased that I took the chance on this package deal. These are sure to be used frequently in my home workshop and will go with me in my tool bag for use away from home too. ## Features - Comprehensive 3-Piece Value Pack: This professional layout kit includes the solid aluminum 7-inch Swanson Speed Square, a 6-inch precision Combination Square, and the classic Blue Book of Instruction - Versatile "5 Tools In 1" Speed Square: Use the machined edge to check for perfect 90Β° "squareness" on any workpiece (TRY SQUARE); easily mark precise 45Β° angles for trim work and frame molding (MITER SQUARE); the thick, lipped fence provides a sturdy straight edge for steadying a circular saw during crosscuts (SAW GUIDE); built-in notches allow you to lock in a pencil and draw perfectly parallel layout lines along the length of a board, like a SCRIBER and the etched degree scales let you quickly find or mark any angle from 0Β° to 90Β°, ideal for roof rafters and complex slopes (PROTRACTOR) - 6-Inch Combination Square: Achieve accurate level measurements with the built-in vial, mark/transfer 90Β° and 45Β° measurements with its die-cast zinc head that ensures reliable, long-lasting accuracy. - The Blue Book: Master complex roof layouts with the 60-page Swanson Blue Book, providing comprehensive instructions, definitions, descriptions, diagrams and rafter tables to ensure professional results on every project. - The Ultimate Contractor's Essential: Designed for carpenters, roofers, and DIY enthusiasts alike, every pro and enthusiast can rely on Swanson's tools for lightning-fast layout work. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00SOVRPXW | | Best Sellers Rank | #126,704 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #149 in Carpentry Squares | | Brand Name | Swanson Tool Co., Inc | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (8,723) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00038987010149 | | Included Components | Speed Square Layout Tool with Blue Book and Combination Square Value Pack | | Item Dimensions L x W | 1"L x 8.5"W | | Item Type Name | Square and Combo | | Item Weight | 0.8 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Swanson Tool Company, Inc | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Model | S0101CB | | Part Number | S0101CB | | Style Name | Speed Square 6” Combo Square Value Pack | | UPC | 701607224607 038987010149 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | As Labeled | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Swanson Tool Co., Inc - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Aluminum - **Product Dimensions:** 1"L x 8.5"W - **Style:** Speed Square 6” Combo Square Value Pack ## Images ![SWANSON S0101CB Speed Square Layout Tool with Blue Book and Combination Square Value Pack - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71c+BPLZTjS.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the difference between the sets?** A: Hi Bryan, Great question! Swanson Tool Co actually offers a number of different sets that offer terrific tools at specially-priced (suggested) retail pricing. I'm guessing you're asking about the difference between our S0101CB and our SW1201K, is that right? If not, please call our customer service line and ask for more specific help: (815) 469-9453 The S0101CB is a "kit" that includes both our super-popular 7 inch speed square paired with our also-popular 6 inch combination square. The SW1201K is a "kit" that includes our 2 best-selling squares: our 7 inch speed square and our "Big 12" Square, the 12 inch speed square. Please note that the 12 inch speed square in this "kit" does not include the layout bar that you see when you look at the S0107 12-inch speed square. Additionally, we also offer the S0101TC132 "kit" that includes both our 7 inch speed square and our 12 inch combination square. All there are in stock and available now on Amazon, so I hope that helps answer your question, and if not, everyone here hopes you reach out to us so we can answer your exact question in more detail. Hope that helps! The Swanson Team **Q: Packaging says stainless steel. Description says aluminum alloy. Which is it?** A: The speed square is aluminum and the combination square ruler is stainless. **Q: Hello, metric system or American? (in cm / mm) Merc** A: Hi Altug, Great question! Our short answer for you is: Both. Our speed square uses imperial (US/Inches) marks, and our 6" combo square features both imperial and metric on its ruler. If you're looking for metric only, we suggest you search for our metric square, the NA202, which Amazon keeps in stock, and our metric combo square options: the SVC133 is like this 6" combo square since it features both imperial (US/Inches) and metric, or the SVCM233, which is metric only on both sides. Amazon also has both of these combo squares in stock. Hope that helps! The Swanson Team **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!
