Questions & Answers

why not use the old tread/riser as a template?

if you're re-treading, why wouldn't you simply use the old tread as a template for the new?
Asked by: sunnyd
Because you will have a gap on the side of you tread ,if you don’t hit it dead on .if you don’t have a wall on both sides yes ,they caulk on the sides of the treads and the old treads might not be straight .

Just a suggestion, I went looking for these or similar tools on the home depot site by doing a search for "stair tread tool" and nothing came up so I bought it else where. I didn't know you had it available till I went looking for tread risers that it "popped"up. You need to have it come in any searches for stair tread tools.

It is sitting right next to the stair pieces and wood treads. I had three people over the last 6 months find it with little issue

Asked by: Ed
You can find many YouTube videos on how to used it. You want to use it to mesure exactly how the step size is. You see every step on a ladder is different. That is why you need this tool. To make sure you cut every step up the ladder the correct size. You first make the tool loose by loosening up the screws. You push it in agains the walls of a step and the back. Then you make the tool tight so you can preserve the size and angles of that step. You pull the tool without changing the shape of it and transfer that to the new step that you will cut and the new step will fit there perfectly like a piece in a puzzle.

I installed the treads already before i saw this product. Can i still use it for the risers which are about 7" in width otherwise the treads will get on the way?
Asked by: Alex
Will work on any size riser as long as the height of the riser is taller then the height of the plastic piece. If the tread doesn’t hang over the riser it won’t matter. Plastic piece is 12 inches tall so it won’t fit between the treads if top one hangs over. This tool is just a simple story board to get an exact fit with little gap. Would definitely use again. Can use also inside of window frame measurements for blinds or any other inside measurements. You can always cut the plastic piece off to fit between your treads on your saw. It is just sturdy plastic. Ideal way to use is to install bottom tread then riser then next tread then next riser and so forth working your way to the top. Hope I didn’t confuse you
