Pro Metal Square by Rapid Rafter, Aluminum Double-Sided Rafter Square, Laser ...

Built by a framer, for framers. Peter Toomey has been framing since 1984, more than 40 years on real jobsites. He got tired of the same problem every carpenter knows: mark one side of a board, flip it, mark the next, and hope your lines still agree. So he redesigned the rafter square. The Rapid Rafter Pro is the metal edition of that idea: an aluminum double-sided square with an engineered 1.75 inch flex-width that folds over a standard 2x4 or 2x6 and marks the top and both faces in one motion, no flipping. Professional contractors report up to 33% faster layout speeds, with fewer blown lines and less wasted material. Permanently laser-etched graduations will not rub off, and a wider scribe channel guides your pencil for cleaner, repeatable marks. Two metal inserts hold a magnetic torpedo level for hands-free plumb and level. It registers cleanly on wane edges and radius cuts that defeat a standard square, and it works with both blade-left and blade-right circular saws. Designed in the USA. Patented design (U.S. Pat. D1015904). Backed by a 1-year limited warranty. Pairs with the Rapid Rafter Expandable Base Kit with 3 inch, 4 inch, and 6 inch bases, sold separately.
