🎨 Must-Have Painting Tools for Every Pro | Why the Smart Square Is a Game-Changer!

All right, I'm here at National Hardware Show. Hey. So, we're here at the National Hardware Show. I got Dan from Smart Square with me. So, as a painter, I have a square in every one of my vehicles. I got one in my trailer. We do carpentry. We do drywall work. We're using squares to score lines to get straight lines on exteriors. It seems like you got a really cool product, Dan. Can you tell me a little bit about I can tell you everything about it, Chris. First off, let me show you. You know, every square, most most rafter squares have a fixed fence, right, on both sides. So, you can't really lay it flat. You can never lay it flat completely. Carpenters, whatever, uh, drywallers, we hate that little void underneath there. So, we came up with the idea of being able to take your fence and taking it right-handed to left-handed. I love that. Or you can take it to a flat position, which you can't do with any other square in the world, any other rafter square in the world. So, we can do accurate flat work. Here you can see our fence is actually laid out. Very few squares ever have laid out their fences. And when this fence is in the flat position, it adds one inch to these marks. So we have dual numbering. You never ever ever lose track of that inch. So because of that, you can actually do accurate flat work for the first time. You know, we love our quick reference level vial, too. As you can see here, this is a patented level vial. We call it smart bubble. It's level in this position and it's plum in this position. Two readings in one level vial. The only one like it in the world. If you take it like this and slam it up to your header to check it for perfection, you have three readings in one level vial. Smart bubble. It's the only one like it in the world. Uh for those of you that do repetitive work. Um you mentioned drywall guys, uh carpenters, we always do repetitive marks. Okay. Every one of ours comes with its own jig block. That's the jig block and its own thumb screw. And once you attach it on the back and you decide, I want that particular angle. You can draw that angle over and over again because you made your own jig and it stays in that position until you're done with it. Now, Chris, you carpenters love to you to do our own bird's mouths, too. We like to set those rafters flush on the wall. Here's the perfect jig for a bird's mouth over and over and over. If you want to go, if you want to do a step up from the bird's mouth, do a step up to our 12-in Smart Square Pro. Also has the movable fence. It has the smart bubble, two of them in this one. And when you put a jig block on the back, you can actually lay out a set of stairs. Chris, you can do a perfect set of stairs. You pick your rise, you pick your run. Once you crank it down, you've got the makings of a perfect stair stringer. And that's our Smart Square. Smart square tools. That's pretty cool. So, you have a smart square with a smart bubble in it. You have one without a bubble in it, right? This is called our Commando version. It doesn't come with a level vial. It's a little bit less expensive. So, where can somebody find this? You can find this at smartsquare tools.com. And how much is this one with the smart bubble going to cost? The smart bubble right now is going for 140. Our commando version is going for 100. This is aerospace quality aluminum. It's not cast aluminum. It's not going to break. It's not going to bend. This is tough. Stainless steel pins, stainless steel set screws. This thing's bulletproof. So, is this something you painters, carpenters, drywallers would use out there? The Smart Square. I think it's actually pretty dang cool. Pretty wellb built. And what about the price point? Can you afford to pay that price point? And Dan, you know what? Thank you very much. I think this product is actually really cool. Appreciate you showing it to us. You bet. Faint Life TV
