Bahco BAHLC Lath Ko 450-80 Roofing Tool
Bahco has developed a new and unique tool which helps the construction workers with roofing. There is no such tool on the market today. The tool makes the work of placing laths 40% faster than conventional methods.
The roofers today make their own piece of gauge to set the laths, but those are unique for each roof and will not help the roofers get a firm grip of the lath.
40% Faster - Faster on normal roofs and excellent where there are guttering and/or uneven or small roofs
Features:
- Brand new, unique, low weight aluminium roofing tool
- PVC coated handle
- Easy to set measurements between laths
- Easy to adjust to fit to the width of the laths
- Strong grip of the jaws avoids slipping
Application
When the roof is covered, before placing the roof tiles, one has to fasten horizontal laths on the roof. As the roof tiles will rest on the laths it is essential that they are parallel to each other. The LathKo helps the roofer to get a firm frip on the lath and to place them in the correct position. The tool is effective when using a pneumatic nailer as well as traditional hammers.
Since the distance between the laths and the thickness of the laths vary, the LathKo is adjustable. The grip of the LathKo is variable from 25mm to 80mm and the measures can be set from 220mm up to 455mm. This gives the LathKo a very good adaptability for all ordinary roof tiles
The measurements 25-80mm and 220-455mm are easily adjusted with the two knobs and the scale of the LathKo gives the exact adjustment between laths.
Why the name LathKo?
The LathKo has its origins in the Nordic countries, where roofers, for hundreds of years, have used a wooden lath template. Created individually, by each carpenter, for each roof, to fit the tile measurements. This template is known as a LathKo. However, creating this template takes extra time. A new one needs to be created for each roof.
The template was neither light, smooth, adjustable, nor did it have a grip that held the laths. Therefore Bahco decided to work on this new product, to develop the functions and give roofers a simpler way of roofing. The original name however, remains.
