This review is from: Wheaton Tools PL600 Stair Genie Skirt/Stringer Layout Gauge (Tools & Home Improvement)
Do not buy this tool unless you will be laying out skirt boards for stairs that have less than a 7 7/8" rise as this gauge will not adjust above that. Also, if the stair you are skirting happens to have more than a 1/2" bow in the middle, it better have a 7 3/4" or 7 5/8" rise. With carewful modification I was able to elongate the slots for the parallel gauge to allow for use on a higher rise stair, but then the profile gauge they supply comes up short in the height department. Use of a 10" profile gauge remedied that situation. Why the manufacturer would even sell a tool with such limited capacity is beyond me, as anyone involved in renovations of older homes knows that very seldom are you going to encounter less than an 8" rise on a staircase(the exception being some old Victorians with 11 runs and 6 1/2" rises which number 2 in my career). Maybe on the west coast things are different.
