A tool for marking struts, comprising:
- a U-shaped body having a first side wall, a second side wall, and a bottom wall, the U-shaped body adapted to accept a strut;
- a first V-shaped opening having a 90 degree angle in the first side wall for marking the strut with a first triangular marking when the strut is to be bent in a 90 degree angle;
- wherein the first V-shaped opening is positioned on the U-shaped body for marking the strut with V-shaped lines indicating where the strut should be cut to allow the strut to be bent in a 90 degree angle;
- wherein the first and second side walls have a first end and a second end;
- and
- wherein at least one of the ends is a straight edge.
