SWANSON FROM THE BEGINNING
The Swanson Speed Square and the “One Number” method of determining the angular pitch of a roof were first developed in 1925 by a carpenter name Albert J. Swanson. As his fellow tradesmen began to appreciate the ingenuity of his idea, they wanted their own Speed Square. Swanson began to hand make the squares to fill the requests for the tool. Demand for the work-saving tool continued to grow and in 1930 the Swanson Speed Square was first sold in interstate commerce. By 1945 Swanson started Swanson Tool Company, Inc. to manufacture and sell the Speed Square through recognized channels of distribution. His son, Ronald C. Swanson assumed control of the company in 1971 and added other quality tools to the line. Today, Swanson Tool Company continues to proudly manufacture and distribute the Swanson Speed Square and other fine carpentry tools from its headquarters in Frankfort, Illinois. The Swanson product line has been, and will continue to be, upgraded and expanded to meet the changing needs of its contractors and do-it-yourself enthusiasts.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2015Bought this for my Father. We are always building something around here. This months project is a 20x40 addition to his house. The way that the Wood magnet is made, it will fit around and 2x material. ~Joists - Check ~Studs - Check ~Trusses - Check... The wood magnet also has a rubber band which is not shown that well online, that will secure itself to any other material for leveling, such as a 4x4, or a metal post. I would definitely recommend this item if you are in the market for a well made level.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2019If you are working with 2" thick lumber, this level is fantastic. Fits a 2" thick board tightly so the rubber band is not necessary. A real timesaver and stays in place.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2023This tool is well designed and manufactured and it's just a downright simple, good idea. I'll second the reviewer who wished for another bubble on the other side but this still lives up to its advertised functions. Mine came with a broken rubber band so even if you get one that isn't don't expect it to hold up. Since there isn't anything else like this out there I sprung for the $16 but really feel more like it's a >$10 tool.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2021This is a great tool for plumbing/leveling wooden 4x4 fence/railing posts, 2x4/2x6 studs, etc. Makes it easy to find plumb and level while NOT having to hold the level on the piece you are installing. Amazing value for the money. Will always be in my tool bag in the future.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2010I bought this tool to assist in setting posts for fencing. But I have found that it is very useful for almost any leveling step on framing projects.
It holds well on any 2-by, both vertically and horizontally. I attach it to a 10 foot 2X4 for longer needs. Word of caution, make sure your piece of lumber is perfectly straight or your results will be off.
For the money invested, this is a great tool.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2023It doesn’t work for leveling 4x4 fence posts.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2014Very cool. I do a lot of handy work at home usually by myself. Levelling studs and securing them is much easier now.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2021Wish I would have had this years ago!
