Ideal for siding and delicate materials, it offers professional-grade accuracy without the weight of metal squares. ## Description Product Description The Swanson T0118 8-Inch Speedlite Square is a lightweight powerhouse designed for those who need a bit more reach than a standard refter square without the added weight of traditional metal. Crafted from high-impact, non-marring polystyrene, this square is the perfect companion for working with delicate finishes, siding, or cabinetry where a metal tool might leave unwanted scratches. Its high-visibility orange finish ensures it won't pull a vanishing act in a pile of sawdust, while the matte texture eliminates sun glare for effortless reading of the precision-etched scales. Functioning as five tools in one—a try square, miter square, saw guide, line scriber, and protractor—this 8-inch model is specifically optimized for wide-dimensional lumber and siding projects. Whether you're a pro framing a roof or a DIYer tackling a weekend deck, the T0118 delivers the legendary Swanson "One-Number" accuracy in a rugged, job-site-ready package. 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: Excellent square - This square has been perfect for me.

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 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent square *by C***R on July 4, 2024* This square has been perfect for me.

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.
