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. Designed in Texas. 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.
