Re: Framing Wizard

Bought it, trashed it. Not a complete POS but not worth the 22 bucks.

We had a bunch of framing wizards here. They all went south of the border

Its an angle finding, framing squaring, layout tooling waste of money.

Re: Framing Wizard

Not as good as their speed square, but i like the ability to put it back in to square. Anyone see their new wood magnet? Any thoughts? it is only 10.98. We build a lot of decks and it looks pretty cool. you can see it on their site at swansontoolco dot com.

Re: Framing Wizard

not to jack the thread but the wood magnet looks pretty cool for only 10$ I'm going to have to try one out sooner or later.
