Norm used a framing square like this quite a bit, especially in the earlier episodes. I took notice because of the unusual bronze color and because mine (made by Stanley, of which this is a picture) looks just like it. Others that Norm has used are either bright metal (usually steel) or painted black. There may be appearances with a different square, but it's sure to be identical in construction and function to this one.

As I near the end of my April/May 2007 run-through of all of the episodes, I'm surprised to discover how many appearances this framing square has made. It's enough for the Hall of Fame, although I'm not sure this is the type of tool that I'm trying to memorialize in the HoF.
