Johnson Level Tool 60-275 Deck Spacing Tool

Product Description

The JOHNSON LEVEL TOOL 60-275 is a deck board spacing tool designed to simplify consistent nail and screw layout during deck installation. The tool provides two spacer edges — 0.125 inches and 0.1875 inches — so installers can maintain uniform gaps between boards without measuring each joint by hand. The high-impact body holds up to repeated use on job sites. It is a small, lightweight layout aid that fits easily in a tool pouch and is handled by carpenters, deck contractors, and general tradespeople.

The 60-275 is suited for residential and light commercial deck construction. It works with standard 2-inch by 4-inch and 2-inch by 6-inch decking stock, the two most common deck board dimensions in residential builds. The spacer edges are integrated into the body, so no separate inserts are needed. It is commonly used during new deck construction and deck board replacement projects where consistent spacing is required for drainage and appearance.

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 2-inch by 4-inch and 2-inch by 6-inch decking boards in residential and light commercial deck framing applications.

Installation Notes

This tool is typically used by carpenters and deck installers during the deck board fastening phase of construction. Place the spacer edge between adjacent deck boards before driving nails or screws to maintain a consistent gap along the run. No power tools are required to use the spacing tool itself. Follow local building codes for minimum deck board spacing requirements, as gap specifications may vary by jurisdiction and decking material.
