Another solution looking for a problem. I also have a jig for framing walls at the correct spacing. It's a 2x4 cut to the length of the gap between the studs. If I wanted to get really fancy, I could get some Ridge tie brackets or something similar and attach them to the end of the 2x4 and have pretty much the same thing, but it would only cost about $8 for the whole thing. The big problem with this is that you still need to mark all your stud spacing because if you don't transfer them to the top place, you could end up with your entire wall being off. Not to mention if you have a door or window in your wall you need to properly space that and plan your stud spacing.

Not a bad tool old school people going to hate it .

Neat little time saver

A scrap 14 1/2 is not the same. This device lock it in at 16 oc, where you would need to hold the stud firmly to prevent shifting, though being a 16th or 8th off isn’t a big deal in rough work. Yet it would need to be laid out ahead of time or else the consecutive ones will be compounded. With this device, there’s no marking or measuring save for the first stud. A 14 1/2 scrap can’t be used for the first either. I just discovered this jig so I couldn’t say how effective it is in the field. Yet a similar device could be made with scraps instead of just using a 14 1/2 block.

That tool will be great for the kids that can’t Read a tape but it is kinda cool

The jig does have a feature that accounts for the first stud. You align the end with the notch on the top (just where it slopes up) then you land on the 48"

I’m getting one. 😊

Creating a solution for a problem that doesn't exist. Someone will get rich off of it. I'm not mad at them. Good for them.

@ 4:41 he explains the problem with device.

Great idea for a DIYer, but $70 more than I'd pay

You could make something very similar and just as effective with scraps instead of paying $90 for that, lol.

Thats nice, but I'd rather just use the $20 tape measure and lay out the marks accordingly. My only question would be how does this tool acount for rough openings of windows and doors? Laying out your jack stud, king stud and cripples?

That’s looks like it will hold the rafter in place while you nail it.

Right there In the end he just told u the defect on the tool lol 😂 for 90 bucks doesn’t give you the 48 in when you need to separate the seams on drywall lol $24.99 a good price for this tool

why not cut a 2by4 for a spacer

How many countries apart from USA still use imperial measurement ?.. I thought stud spacing in UK was 450mm or 600mm centres, correct me if i am wrong.

🧐🤔The fact that this tool is out says a lot, you contractors and construction workers 😜 are funny 😂😂😂some of you that are talking down on this 😂😂 probably have one or something similar to this tool! 😂😂it seems that whomever came up with this template was in the same mindset your in now! Some days you wish you had a tool that could speed up the process without losing efficiency! Regardless of plumbing, windows, and or doors! If code says 16" on center, well I would test this tools theory! Knowing that also whatever corner you start at the opposite end is going to need to be compensated for final completion of that wall, thats without any variables, meaning windows or doors. This tool seem to provide accurate layout for a perfectly framed WALL again without any variables; plus if you contractors and construction workers are seasoned and not green your going to know off rip how to use this tool to your advantage! I will say this evolution is a real thing😂 you guys stop being scared if this tool helps and works stop hating! And no😂 im not for this tool 😂😂

What's wrong with a 14 1/2" 2X4? Faster and WAY cheaper.

I'm curious why you already have nail holes, every 16 inches on the top plate?

very good for nonprofessionals which means 99% of you I wish I had it when I was doing my own projects fcking hate measuring tapes I got mine for 60 bucks just in case something else pops up.

Save money and make your own with some wood scraps

I'm always do with scrap of 2x4s. But that's not what I'm talking about. Even with such tools, any helper will always make mistakes. in short, it's useless. And very expensive. and it takes up space in the truck...

You can make that thing pretty easily

I keep coming back here, at least I think it is the same place, to see if you have responded to my comment. Are you removing it without?

Just saw this online for $90 lol I don't think it's that special and if you're a DIY'er that seems a little steep tool lol $90 for a tool that your square n tape already do?! I'm good... but I don't wanna be a negative Nelly, it looks like might help some folk, just not for me

Do they sell a fanny pack holster for it?

95USD is a bit much for such a simple to replace by a tape measure tool

Too Bad it over $100. Cause at 49.99 I would probably buy one. I’ll just stick to my tape measure at that price Point.

That is not 16” oc. At least you caught it though. You have to start from 15 1/4”.

Ha! .. Does it come with it's own carrying case? , I want mine personally engraved so as not to confuse it with other framers on the job . Does it come at 19.2 on center ? or the seldom used and dreaded 13.71 on center ? . If someone showed up on my job with that gadget . I'd throw it off the deck , Don't want anyone tripping over it .. That aluminum could have been better used in the manufacturing of beer cans . Confusedus once said " There is a time to jig and there is a time to not " Tis the time not

Excellent tool for the DIYer. Definitely will be getting 1. And for $90.00 saves me from having to deal w/a NO-SHOW contractor or an Illegal. AMERICA FIRST

The downside to this tool is you can't Frame both sides at the same time like when framing a deck.

To slow tape measure and speed square

I'm going to make one last attempt (I've tried several times) only because you did supply me with an email address so I am forced to believe that you would look at my message when I send it. I got back at least two messages that said the email address was not working. Nothing I post here with a link, including my email address, stays. I don't know if it is an AI thing or if because you have something in your settings which restricts the action. Maybe my messages are going into your spam folder. It's rather frustrating sense, as I said, you did answer me with an email address.

Send me one

😂

Bring that to a jobsite and you won't get hired again.

Wow that’s about the most useless thing I’ve ever seen. Just lay it out in 10secs 🤦🏻‍♂️

Im 52, been framing about 35 years now. That thing is about useless! If you cant read a tape & layout a wall your shouldn't be on a job site. It would take forever to frame using that thing! Thats why its so damn hard to find good help anymore, no one actually wants to LEARN anything.

What a Joke

I keep jumping out of here and coming back and the only one of my comments I see is the one you responded to before. Can you give me a working email address so I can send you one?
