Woodpeckers Stair Tread Template Tool is designed to help you deal with out of square corners when you're installing shelves, stair treads, and anything else that fits between two walls. The goal with this design was a tool that is fully self-contained, with no pieces or parts to lose, enough capacity for almost any shelving project, and durability for construction sites.
It starts with 14-gauge cold rolled steel that is laser-cut and computer-formed. All pieces are either zinc plated or powder-coated so you'll never worry about rust. The extension arms give you a template size range from 20-1/4" to 52", and the ratcheting knob at the bevel arm joint gives you the leverage needed for a secure grip without interfering with your walls.
Using the tool is straightforward. Extend the arms and align the bevel gauges to the walls. Lock the angles and the extension arms and you have a template for your shelf or stair component without ever touching a tape measure or angle finder. Then align the template to your material, mark, and cut.
When the project calls for expensive material, the page says you want a template tool that will hold its settings and get the transfer done accurately. When the job is done, the Stair Tread Template Tool folds up in seconds with no loose parts to track down or worry about. Like all Woodpeckers products, it is precisely machined and carefully inspected in Strongsville, Ohio. The page also lists the product as made in the United States.
