Mark three sides.
In one motion.
In the open position it marks three sides of any 2× material at once — a perfect perpendicular line regardless of the quality of the board. Closed, it folds flat and works as your everyday square.
Rapid Rafter Original. Everyday carry.
The one that started it all — the everyday polymer square. Marks three sides of any 2× material, then folds flat to ride in your apron. Made in the USA, backed by a 1-year warranty.
Built on the framing wall
Designed by a carpenter, not a boardroom.
Peter Toomey has framed in Liberty Hill, Texas since 1984. He invented the Rapid Rafter to fix a problem he hit every day — and it became the first real change to the rafter square in nearly a century. Made in the USA. Patented. Built to outlast the truck you carry it in.
One pass. Both faces and the top edge.
A traditional square marks one face — then you flip the square or the board and mark again. The Rapid Rafter straddles the stock and marks three sides in a single motion, with a perfect perpendicular line even on rough boards or boards with wane.
- Three sides, one motion. Both faces and the top edge — ideal for layout marking.
- Perfect line, any board. Registers true on rough, twisted, or wane-edged stock.
- Folds flat. Works exactly like the everyday square in your apron.
