I use Swanson speed squares in the home shop. 6" and 12". Perhaps you have seen them. They are what I will use until I die. I also have some tri-squares that get a fair amount of use. I also use other measuring and marking tools ( sliding "t" bevel ) as well. I have a 7 year old grandson. Back in March or so he was here and I took him to the shop. We talked a bit and I asked him if he knew the shape of the small Swanson. He said it was a triangle ( he was 6 at the time ). I told him it was yes a triangle but it was a square ( tool ). He remembered this in June when he returned ( that THAT triangle was a square and how it it was used ).
