We are looking at another one of the great tools from Swan Tool Group. Today it's the Merlin square. The ruler in this square is interchangeable with the Red Tail rulers, which also work with the Red Tail offset ruler and the Ridgway square. It has a lay flat design and can also lay over the edge of a work piece and hold itself up with the built in shelf tab. These also have a tru-mark edge for no offset marking.

As someone who frequently works on woodworking projects, I've found the Merlin Square from Swan Tool Group to be an invaluable addition to my toolkit. Its unique design allows it to lay flat on surfaces or over edges, thanks to the built-in shelf tab, which provides excellent stability when marking or measuring. This means I can get accurate measurements in places that are usually difficult to reach with standard square tools. One of the best features is its compatibility with Red Tail rulers, including the Red Tail offset ruler and Ridgway square. This interchangeability means you can customize your setup according to the specific needs of your project, making it a highly flexible tool. The tru-mark edge technology is particularly impressive—it ensures your markings are precise without any offset, reducing the chances of errors during cuts and joins. Whether you're a professional carpenter or a DIY enthusiast, the Merlin Square simplifies intricate measuring tasks. It’s especially handy when working on projects requiring a combination of square and offset measurements. I also appreciate how durable and well-crafted the tool feels; it clearly caters to the demands of serious woodworking and construction.
