The Tool

It is said the best tools are born from absolute necessity.

We have developed such a tool after twenty years as union tradesmen. G Tools is comprised of working tradesmen actively developing products for use by other tradesmen. We develop and test these products on the jobsites throughout the Midwest every day. Rain or shine, hot or cold, there is not a day that goes by that we do not ask ourselves how we can do better, what tools can we improve, and how can we be more efficient. One day we asked ourselves the following question:

How many times do you have to repair the door frame after it has been installed?

Then the G Tools Framespreader® was developed. An accurate and speedy solution to an incredibly costly problem of improperly installed door frames. In a commercial construction setting, the doorframe is installed first. Next, the steel studs or block walls and/or aluminum facades for the storefront are installed. The drywall is finished and the frames are painted. It is not until everything is completed and the finished door is ready to be hung that you discover the frame was set incorrectly and the new door doesn’t work in its opening.

This situation is going to cost you:

  • Valuable time on the job
  • Your company’s profits to pay the other trades for repairs
  • The company reputation
  • Your reputation

And possibly your job if you set the frames! On big jobs, these mistakes add up fast and can cost thousands of dollars. Trust us, we have seen it all!

G Tools Framespreader® is a fast way to be highly productive at setting door frames. Remember, if your company is making money, you are making money. As professional tradesmen, having the G Tools Framespreader® in your bucket is saying that you do care if the margins on the new door are the same all the way down the frame. It’s also telling your employer that speed and accuracy are what you are capable of.
