What does the Rapid Rafter actually do?
In the open position it marks three sides of any 2× material in one motion — both faces and the top edge — a perfect perpendicular line regardless of the quality of the board. Closed, it folds flat and works as your everyday square.
Is it patented?
Yes — U.S. Patent No. 11,654,545 B1, held by Lay Out Line, LLC of Liberty Hill, Texas.
Where is it made?
The Original is made in the USA from a proprietary polymer blend. The Pro is machined aluminum.
What is the warranty?
Every Rapid Rafter carries a 1-year warranty.
Original vs. Pro — which do I need?

What sizes does the Pro handle?
With the base plates: the 3″ plate covers standard 2× stock, 4″ covers double 2× and LVL, and 6″ covers 4× posts and large timber.
