IRWIN Tools Rafter Square, Hi-Contrast Aluminum, Blue, 7-Inch (1794463)

Love this tool! Great quality and the numbers are easy too read!

I frequently use this square as a guide when cutting 2x4s and 2x6s with my sawzall and it works great. Light, durable and accurate. (Another reviewer thought the inch markings were off, but they’re dead on. Think he was measuring beyond the lip of the edge that butts up against the wood.) Also like the contrast of the painted numbers compared to the unpainted option. Handy tool, just buy it!

Great value-Very easy to use-Durable metal and paint- works good worth getting

The numbers on the square are very large and legible.

Use it all the time. Nice-looking and good quality.

Muy bueno

This square is nice, the numbers are very easy to read and it functions well. My only gripe is the price, damn this thing is expensive.

With a multicolored face, there’s no more squinting to read the numbers. That alone is worth the money for this sturdy little speed square.

Started a major project and pulled out the new square. Low and behold, cutting a 10 in 12 pitch the ridge and plates weren't sitting right...swapped back to my DeWalt square and notibly it was out. Tested against 2 other squares on site and showed it was a no go. On the flip side, comes with a handy instruction manual. Got a nice feature for seat cuts etc but sadly it's a no go. Will work out how to contact customer service.

I recently picked up the IRWIN Tools Rafter Square, 7-Inch, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite tools for woodworking and DIY projects. I’ve been using it for various tasks to build my garden shed and roof. First Impressions: Out of the box, the rafter square feels robust and sturdy. The high-contrast markings are immediately noticeable, making it much easier to read measurements, especially when you're in a hurry or working in less-than-ideal lighting. The aluminum construction feels durable but lightweight, which is a plus when you're working for long hours. Detailed Experience: Using this square has been a dream. The sharp, precise edges make it easy to get accurate measurements for framing, cutting angles, or laying out lines. I’ve used it for a variety of DIY jobs around the house, and it’s worked great. I love how versatile it is—it’s not just for rafter work, but also for general construction and even setting up guide lines for cutting. The high-contrast markings are a game-changer, making it much easier to see the numbers without straining my eyes. It's simple, effective, and feels like a professional-grade tool. Key Features & Benefits: Hi-Contrast Markings: The bright, bold numbers and lines make it easy to read, even in low light. Durable Aluminum Construction: Lightweight yet tough enough for demanding tasks. Multi-Use Tool: It’s great for not just roofing or framing but any project where precision measurements are needed. Compact Size: At 7 inches, it’s perfect for smaller tasks while still providing plenty of precision for larger ones. Cons: Size for Bigger Jobs: While the 7-inch size is great for most general tasks, it might not be large enough for some heavy-duty framing or large-scale construction. Final Thoughts/Recommendation: Overall, the IRWIN Tools Rafter Square has exceeded my expectations. It’s easy to use, well-built, and has a very practical design that makes measuring and cutting much easier. If you’re looking for a reliable, versatile tool for your toolbox, this is definitely a solid choice. Whether you’re a seasoned tradesperson or just a DIY enthusiast, this rafter square is well worth the investment!

It’s metal not plastic which is really nice. I’m glad it come with a step by step guide booklet to calculating rafters. I don’t need it for that type of project but for other things. It is really nice to have anyway just in case I build a shed or cabin down the road. Anyway I’m very happy with this purchase and it will last me a lifetime.
