Tools and Hardware Reviews of Swanson Tool SO107 12-Inch Speed Square
Customer Review: Nice but...
Summary: 3 Stars
The large size, heavy construction, angle adjustment feature and pocket reference are very nice but...
The studs used square it with the wood once adjusted are hex nuts and they skew the angle if they aren't both set to contact the wood on the same edge of the hex nut. The worst case (one on flat, one on a corner) puts the angle off by 2 degrees. If you then have to flip the square over you are now off by 4 degrees which makes for poor craftsmanship. A better choice for the studs would have been tall knurled nuts instead of hex nuts. I've replaced mine and it's not right one the money. If it had come with knurled nuts instead of hex nuts I'd give it 5 stars instead of 3.
