Next- Level Accuracy
No more caulking cracks around stairs! Handle that project in a fraction of the time by capturing the nuance of your steps the effortless way.
Just connect the two stair gauge pieces using a piece of wood (not included), place the jig on the steps, and adjust the length and angle using the knobs. Then transfer the template to your piece of wood, trace, cut, and marvel at the seamlessness.
Experience the Versatility
The Staircision tread template won’t just save you time when building stairs, it won’t just make putting up shelving remarkably easy, it will also put a sturdy ruler right in front of you.
With markings etched right into the edges, our step gauge takes an indispensable stair-building tool and transforms it into a handy measuring tool.
Experience an extra serving of practicality.
Solid Metal Templates
Whether you’re a professional carpenter, busy handyman, or a take-charge D.I.Yer, our step tool withstands the most demanding of projects. The secret behind the durability? Heavy-duty zinc-plated steel coupled with strong knobs that don’t easily snap as others do. And thanks to the thick, 2mm metal templates, the tool stays nice & flat on wood for extra-accurate tracing.
Carpenter’s Pencil
When it comes to precision carpentry, a regular No. 2 pencil just won’t do. It can’t be sharpened into a super-fine tip to capture the smallest of nuances. It can’t be sharpened into a scribe tool, used as a spacer, or create markings on rough surfaces. That’s why we’ve included a carpenter’s pencil with every stair template set. With it behind your ear, precision will be a stroke away.
Bubble Level
Getting your treads perfectly flat and your risers perfectly straight isn’t just great for aesthetics, it’s a requisite for safety. Good thing we’ve thrown in a spirit level to hit this part of the job right out of the park. The 3-in-1 bubble level gives you the power to work with vertical, horizontal, and diagonal surfaces. Get your set and make beautiful work of that upcoming project.

I'm a DIY'er. If you are a tradesman, it'll prob frustrate you as an everyday tool1) steel, not aluminum so scoring with a utility knife to mark the line won't damage the tool2) I like the idea of cutting your own spanner piece and don't have to fiddle with parts to get the right length.What I don't like1) people complain that the edges aren't perfectly straight. Just lap dress them. Use carpet tape to put heavy sand paper on a level and grind until flat. Its steel so you have to be agressive. 'm anal and checked it with a machinist bar and eye balled it (no feeler guage). (the downside of being steel)2) there is no swivel on the ends. The angle is set by just the slop in the spanner bar. Fine for me, but if your stairs aren't close to 90, you may have to cut a custom spanner to handle odd angles like a stairway that hooks.

Helped tremendously at getting the right cuts for our laminated stairs

Used this for treads and risers. You do need one piece of 1x2 two inches short of the pieces you are cutting though - it is not included with this kit. Works perfectly. Made it much easier to do a quality job on my stairs.

Good product but the two knobs just turn after securing them in like they strip and just turn.

Just what I need to finish a basement staircase in a new home. Very simple and cost effective. Well done.

The tool look well made but the idea behind this tool is to replicate the perfect angle. The most important parts (the plates) are not straight. I can see a convex shape. I will not trust this tool.

This made my stair projects so much easier! I truly cannot tell you what a pain in the ass it would have been without it. It allowed you to customize each sides angle for a perfect fit! I just use some scrap wood and cut it to length. I love that these are metal and nice and sturdy but I will say be careful not to ding up the walls.

Let me start by saying this was my first time working on stairs. I never knew that every step would have differing angles, widths and depths. I would not have been able to complete the job without this tool. I upgraded my stairs with the Cap-A-Tread stair retread renewal system with a cost of about $45 per tread and $15 per riser. I could not afford any mistakes on the 15 stairs but I did manage to mess up the first step.Let me get back to this tool package. Know that you need to get 1x1 and cut it to length you need for your stairs. The pencil came in handy and I didn't use the level (but will in the future). One person can use this tool but it is hard to get both sides even and tightened down by yourself. **** I highly recommend that your mark left (L) and right (R) on this tool so the measurements are transferred correctly ****You can spend oodles of money on other tools but why would you?! This is affordable and does outstanding work!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOOL!!!

This product works great. You’ll need a piece if wood an inch or two shy of what you’re trying to measure. This tool works fantastic at getting the exact measurement and angle, it’s basically fool proof and full proof. However, this means you need to be able to cut at that angle. What i mean is It will be difficult to transfer onto a miter saw to get it perfect or even follow your line with a circular saw. My suggestion would be to use this along with a track saw. Made a stair remodel job a breeze. I loved seeing no gaps at the sides.

Seems to be a quality tool. Missing metric markings on tool but that is okay since most measurements are in inches anyway.
