I’ve heard of this tool before,and finally saw one at the tool store the other day. Does it do anything so cool that I have to have one?

Looks like a western idea of a speed square...I think...right?
near the stream with a bazillion trisquares,

The 12" are real handy too...
*It's kinda weird...View ImageIt's also sold at Amazon.com.Joel, I've never seen or used one myself. I went looking for it because I hadn't heard of it. If that interests you, you might want to look at a Douglas Quad square. Sorry, couldn't find a decent pic of that. It claims to be more accurate than a Squangle. I've no idea about that one way or the other...
*I got one about 20 years ago for some forgotten reason, never used it, and have now forgotten where I put it.Oh yeah, now I remember why I got it, it was the NAME! Still can't remember where I put it.
*had an instructor in trade school ...for all our framing classes...that swore by his.....but I have no hands on aside from playing with that one. Jeff
*Joel, It has its uses. I kind of like mine for copying angles to match stuff (the way you use a bevel square, but the squangle has degree marks on it so you can just use the angle as a number for setting a saw for not critically accurate work), or for setting a known angle, like a windowsill. I only carry it when doing a job which is basically all angles; otherwise, a combo square and bevel square do just fine. The major problem I have with it is that I keep losing the lock nuts which lock the head. I am forever looking around for them once I try to lock down the head. Hope this helps. Rich.
