WITH several stair tread challenges in mind ProKnee Corporation has developed a tool designed for the stair tread installer.

Says the company: ‘Treadman, a tool that will cut your installation time in half or more and give you quick and accurate measurements thus eliminating the chance of costly mistakes.

‘What makes Treadman unique and an invaluable tool for the stair tread installer is its design and function that gives the novice as well the seasoned professional, quick, accurate settings and perfectly cut stair treads that conform to the most difficult of steps you may come up against. Treadman is a portable lightweight tool weighing 2.26kg. Our standard unit won’t leave you fatigued by the end of the day carrying it back and forth to the stairway.’

ProKnee continues: ‘Treadman quickly adjusts and conforms precisely to each individual step and securely locks in your steps and tread’s specific size and identical dimensions that you will be cutting your tread to. Treadman acts as your template and your cutting guide. Made up of 1.59mm steel plates and built to withstand a lifetime of cutting. With large easy to adjust knobs and spring-loaded edge plates Treadman makes your next measurement as quick and easy as your last.

‘Treadman’s standard unit has the ability to expand in length from 89.5cm to 156.2cm, but with three other optional extension kits, Treadman’s range will actually expand from 60.96cm up to 275.59cm.
