Squares | STANLEY® Tools

STANLEY® Squares come in a variety of styles including, speed/quick squares, carpenter squares, roofing squares and pocket squares.

I do have one of those! It works great with my rip saw, but I didn’t see a way to use it with my back saw because of the back, whereas the bench hook fits under there more easily. Maybe I’m just overlooking the way to set it up.
