Title: There is No Substitute
Product review: As a career engineer, I understand that the best engineered tools are those that simply allow you to complete your tasks without really noticing them - like a hand or a finger. The iconic Swanson Speed Square has been an important construction tool since 1925 when it was invented by Albert J. Swanson. Since then the name "speed square" has become a generic term, but every speed square is not a Swanson, just as every facial tissue is not Kleenex. Swanson is still the best. I purchased the 7" Swanson to use along with my trusted 12" model. It comes with a little instruction manual, which can be used to find all the uses for a speed square. But personally, I've made peace with the idea that my Swanson Speed Square is simply smarter than me.
