The Swanson SpeedĀ® Square and the ā€œOne Numberā€sm method of determining the angular pitch of a roof were first developed in 1925 by a carpenter name Albert J. Swanson. As his fellow tradesmen began to appreciate the ingenuity of his idea, they wanted their own SpeedĀ® Square. Swanson began to hand make the squares to fill the requests for the tool. Demand for the work saving tool continued to grow and in 1930 the Swanson SpeedĀ® Square was first sold in interstate commerce. By 1945 Swanson started SwansonĀ® Tool Company, Inc. to manufacture and sell the SpeedĀ® Square through recognized channels of distribution. His son, Ronald C. Swanson assumed control of the company in 1971 and added other quality tools to the line. Today, SwansonĀ® Tool Company continues to proudly manufacture and distribute the Swanson SpeedĀ® Square and other fine carpentry tools from its headquarters in Frankfort, Illinois. Under the direction of the Allemand Family the SwansonĀ® product line has been upgraded and expanded to meet the changing needs of its contractors and do-it-yourself enthusiasts.
