What happens here

The demonstration begins by addressing a common issue in construction, specifically the 'void' that drywallers often encounter. The speaker introduces the Smart Square rafter square, showcasing its adjustable fence mechanism. This fence can be quickly repositioned from a right-handed to a left-handed configuration, offering adaptability for users. Furthermore, a key innovation is its ability to lay flat against a surface, a feature the speaker claims is unique among rafter squares globally. When the fence is in this flat position, it automatically adds one inch to the measurement marks, indicated by dual numbering on the tool, ensuring precise measurements for 'flat work'.

Goal: Demonstrate the adjustable fence for right-handed, left-handed, and flat position marking.

Tools and materials

  • Marker Dry-Erase Marker — Marking lines on the surface being measured
  • Smart Square Rafter Square Smart Square — Demonstrating the adjustable fence and dual numbering for various marking tasks
  • Working Surface — Providing a surface for demonstrating marking with the square

What they say

Hide

whatever drywallers we hate that little void underneath there. So we came up with the idea of being able to take your fence and taking a 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 could do accurate flatwork. Here you can see our fences actually laid out. Very few squares ever have laid out their fences. And when this fence is in the flat position that 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 flatwork 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.
