Rafter Squares: Squijig Fusion Pro V2 v Trigjig Grafter Pro 180 v Martinez Rapid

Lucy Durtnall |

TF Scott has used the Trigjig Grafter Pro 180, Squijig Fusion Pro V2 and Martinez Rapid squares on roofing jobs.

Firstly, it has to be said these squares are all excellent build quality. Squijig made in the USA by Sven & his team in their family run business, Trigjig made in the UK by Dan & Karenza.

The Martinez square was the original precision square that was developed by Jim Aiken for Metric and high functionality demand. It is made with the Martinez dedication to quality and is the only square available in titanium.

The accuracy is also phenomenal, we have sold all brands for over 7 years now and the feedbacks is consistent and warranty issues non existent.

Some of the squares are designed for UK size timbers, 38mm,45mm and 47mm and common timber widths too. Check the points below per model.

What the actual differences?

The main differences boil down to a few key features on each square.
