I've had it more than 5 years I recall. It was used when I got it. They are so smooth operating once they get some use in them! You will love one!
Not a term I'm familiar with, despite living on the hypotenuse for my long career with roof and stair layout and cutting skills particularly well developed weapons in my carpentry arsenal. The ubiquitous 7-inch pocket speed square is a wicked handy tool and has a dedicated slot in my nail bag rig, though it's really too small for rafter work. The larger Big12 model works for the depth of New England roofing framing stock and our steeper pitches with the old-school framing square the most accurate for primary layout when cutting pattern rafters, either of those two tools with one or two stair gauges attached as appropriate.Naw, we’ve always had a couple carpenters that work with us taking care of rental properties and other projects. I’ve helped them when needed so I’ve picked up on things over the years but I would in no way say I’m a carpenter
Edit: I remember one year we were building a couple barns and I helped them during the day then worked electrical at nights and picked up on several things. @Sharp & FieryChazzyP does “long 6” mean anything to y’all on a speed square? It was prolly 12yrs ago but I think that’s what I remember. I was cutting rafters for them. I know terms can vary from region to region tho
