What they say

Hide

number four. So my number four tool on the list has got to be the rafter square, the trim square, the square, the triangle, whatever, whatever you guys want to call it. I use this tool for everything. Whether it's propping stuff up, putting a piece of pipe in there, cutting it, measuring one to seven, you know, getting your 45 degree angle, getting your different angles, setting your blade on your miter saw or your table saw, what whatever it is. I I use this tool every day, okay? And like for some weird uses too, like holding the door open, you know what I mean? Like kick it on the door and hold it open. Or another one is kick it and wedge it for things. I think a lot of people forget about this tool putting it in their bag and it's not that important until it saves you. Let's move on to the next one.
