    摘要: A device for leveling and aligning tiles and method for leveling and aligning tiles are disclosed. In one embodiment, the leveling device includes a body and two spaced and parallel strip members extending transversely from the body. Each of the spaced and parallel strip members extend to the front and rear of the body. Two opposing lateral open windows are formed in the body. A breakaway section is defined along the body. A wedge device is provided for penetrating one or more of the two opposing lateral open windows and exerting a force on the tiles for leveling them relative to each other.

    摘要: A device for maintaining recommended spacing during siding installation contains a main body, an extended body, an extruding body, a first channel, and a second channel. The first channel and the second channel are used to receiving a siding panel. When the siding panel is received, a first stop and a second stop of the extruding body is used to rest the device against a previously installed siding panel. Since the siding panel is stationary against the previously installed siding panel, a constant space can be maintained between the two siding panels. In addition to installing the siding panel, the device can also be used when installing siding butt-joints. In order to do so, a first receiving channel and a second receiving channel are provided.

    摘要: Disclosed is a corner head drywall tool comprising a plurality of roller wings, each with a plurality of face rollers. Also disclosed are alignment rollers intersecting and overlapping the pivot axis of the roller wings. The device may further comprise shafts having an end pivotably attached to each roller wing; wherein each shaft is fitted to slide within a spring tube having a spring therein biasing the shaft toward the associated roller wing. Each spring tube optionally having a median portion pivotably attached to a support block. The device may comprise an adjustment system to adjust the spacing between the ends of the spring tubes opposite the roller wings. The drywall tool may be arranged wherein the adjustment comprises: an adjustment wheel fixed to rotate relative to the support block. Wherein the adjustment wheel rotates one or each spring tube about the relative pivot attachment to the support block.

    摘要: A device for stabilizing a sheet material to a stud member includes two side members that sandwich the stud member and a back member joining the two side members together. One or more protrusions may extend inward from one or both of the side members so that the device is frictionally fit and secured to the stud member. A shelf extends away and outward from the back member so that the sheet material can be placed on the shelf before the sheet member is fastened to the stud member. The device can include an angled portion at the bottom of the back member so that a hammer can apply a force to the angled portion to cause the device to move away from the stud member for removal.

    摘要: An extendable window prop for supporting double-hung windows includes a pole that is of adjustable length. A crossbar is coupled to and extends perpendicularly from an upper end of the pole. A first rod is coupled proximate to the upper end of the pole and extends substantially perpendicularly from the pole. The first rod is substantially perpendicular to the crossbar. A second rod is coupled to and extends substantially perpendicularly from the first rod distal from the pole. The second rod is transverse to the pole. The crossbar is positioned on the pole such that the crossbar is configured to position a first window. The first window is supported by the pole. The second rod is positioned on the first rod such that the second rod is positioned to abut a frame of the first window that is positioned on the crossbar.

    摘要: A tile leveling system includes an anchor member arranged to be positioned in a setting bed below adjacent tiles. A tensioning member extends upwardly from the anchor member and is arranged to pass between the adjacent tiles. The tensioning member is made of a metallic material and frangibly connected to the anchor member via a breakage point. A loading system is arranged to be positioned on top of the adjacent tiles and includes a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism is connected to the tensioning member and is selectively operable to secure and level the adjacent tiles between the anchor member and the loading system.
