Swanson Speed Square Pro 7 — Double-Stud Wall Framing Square with Guides

Precision marking for professional carpentry

The Swanson Speed Square Pro 7 is a compact, rugged framing square designed to streamline layout tasks on the job site. Built by Swanson Tool Co., Inc, it combines a durable metal body with practical guides that stay visible as you work.

The double-wall design helps maintain alignment across multiple studs, reducing back-and-forth adjustments when you’re ready to cut or notch. The square walls host integrated guides in common framing increments: 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", and 1-1/2". This setup lets you mark fast, repeatable lines across studs, headers, and other components.

Quick pitch guide for angled work

A dedicated 22-1/2 degree pitch guide supports octagon cuts and five-pitch rafters. When you’re tackling decorative edges or angled supports, this reference helps you keep the angle consistent without pulling out a separate protractor.

On-site practicality you can feel

The Pro 7 is designed for daily use: crisp edges, dependable marks, and a compact footprint that slides into a pocket or tool pouch. It’s suitable for framing walls, laying out shelves, trimming components, or marking repetitive cuts for a project.

• Double-wall width layout assists alignment across multiple studs
