Bench Dog 10-016 Trim-Loc Casement Trim Installation Tool

This tool makes humans as close to foolproof as we can get, at least when it comes to measuring, cutting and installing trim without a flaw. We love that it’s a solid piece, with nothing adjustable on it, so you know its 45- and 90-degree angles are always true. It takes the gymnastics out of measuring, too, whether screwed to your workbench or temporarily tacked to the working wall with 6d finish nails, because of the built-in tape measure hooks. Even tricky inside-to-inside miters are a snap. Perfect 3/16-inch reveals on windows and door jambs are guaranteed every time: Just line it up and draw your guide with the pencil holes. Though it’s marketed for casements, we’d keep it in the toolbox for all kinds of jobs. Imagine installing baseboard up to door trim and lining up the Trim Loc for a perfect cutline every time. We think it’d be the perfect gauge for squaring saw blades, too. This little tool will save you time, money and lots of frustration.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste From the Manufacturer Trim-Loc is made to measure, mark, and install casement trim. Built-in tape measure hook slots let you quickly and accurately measure jamb openings. It's also perfect for measuring your trim stock. Just fasten Trim- Loc to your bench, hook the tape measure, and lay out perfect miters every time! Use Trim-Loc's precision 45-degree and 90-degree guides to quickly mark the cut lines. It's also a handy square and setup tool. When you're ready to install the trim, Trim-Loc will hold the stock in perfect alignment while you nail it in place so you get consistent 3/16- reveals every time! Do you work on a crew or have a lot of trim to hang? If so, think about buying two Trim- Locs, one for your tool belt, and one for mounting to the bench.
