SPACER-RITE

PICKET SPACING TOOL

The Spacer-Rite is a time saver, convenience tool that will save you countless hours throughout the years and help you to produce better quality products.

The spacing range for the tool is from 1-1/4" to 6", with and accuracy of plus or minus 1/32" in the ranges above 3".

To use the tool for spacings of more than 6", set the tool so that you will mark every other pointer. This will cover the range from 6" to 12".

When you want to mark spacing on a bar longer than the Spacer-Rite can cover when it is open, measure your bar and mark the center of that dimension, then the Spacer-Rite will reach from one end to the center and then from the center to the other end.

Set the Spacer-Rite so that you will get spacing you want (for instance, 4-1/2" Maximum), place the tool on your bar and then adjust to have equal spaces by closing the tool until the next pointer is at the end of the bar; for example, a 45" gate would have 43" inside the frame, when you set the Spacer-Rite for 4-1/2 centers, the last pointer would be a little more than 2" outside the frame, so you can close the Spacer-Rite and it will give you ten equal spaces that will measure a little less than 4-1/2".

Take care of your Spacer-Rite as you would take care of your good tools.
