This product is very effective and I couldn't have imagined doing my stair project without it. This was my first set of stairs and my cuts turned out perfect. Word to the wise:
1.) assume all of your steps are uneven (if you go into your project with this in mind.. it won't be such a letdown when you realize they actually are all jacked).
2) make sure your steps are level in all directions (I had to remove and shim all the existing lower steps cause of a forward slope).
3.) Make sure you measure your overall riser height. People will trip on your stairs if you don't measure and adjust for new flooring heights. I had to rip off the lower treads and replace the original 1 1/2" tread with a 5/8" tread (used plywood) to make sure the riser heights matched with the new tile foyer and the upper wood landing. Simple fix will probably save multiple falls in the future... and will actually make your stairs pass code inspection.
3) use a long straight edge to make sure the edges of your steps line up (I had to move the occasional step forward 1/4 inch to keep them all in line)
4) MARK THE FRONT OF YOUR 1X2 BOARD you use with the Collins tool! This thought didn't come to me until after I cut a few steps. I was measuring and cutting in different rooms and had to remeasure more than once cause I forgot which side was which. I laughed out loud once I realized a simple mark would save me so much time.
5.) Ladies.. from one woman to another.. YOU CAN DO THIS!!! It took me longer than I thought it would, but I am pretty proud of myself for attempting and succeeding at this project.. and you will be too!

I can tell you that this is the difference maker in how you stair look. They are much cheaper that many of the others. But I love these.....a couple of friends watch me and were amazed at how accurate the tread cuts were made. I have not gaps at the ends of the treads or risers.
Metal keep in mind you need a 1x2 piece of wood

Well built but you can go to home depot in the stair section and purchase a pair of plastic tools with a built in ruler...I guess if you are putting a ton of stairs down this might be worth it...hard to tighten down that's why it gets a 3.
Must have!

I was getting ready to do a stair makeover, and saw a review for this thing on Youtube. This tool was exactly what I needed, because old stairs are never square. This saved me a ton of time, aggravation and wasted material. If you are remodeling stairs or shelves, this is a must have.
