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

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.

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.
