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.

HUGE WIN!! I just made some shelves and this thing was in my hand almost the entire time. Need to mark a square cut? This is your tool! Need to confirm that you’re attaching something at 90 degrees? This is IT!! Need to measure an angle? Or split a piece of wood down the middle? This will help you mark it all up.
This may be my current fave woodworking tool at the moment!
I'm a novice woodworker. This tool will last for my lifetime.
The product is solid, well crafted, and allows you to measure and draw 90-degree and 45-degree straight lines. I don't know what else you would need.
I discovered one feature that is especially useful for working with lumber with rounded corners. The part of the square that hangs off the edge (the part that squares against the side of the board) aligns with the measuring side. This is useful because when you draw your line to the rounded corner, you wouldn't be able to turn the corner accurately. However, the part of the square that hangs off the edge aligns, so you can mark a short line that will become your starting point to align the next side.
