The LathKo is made of aluminum and the handle is PVC coated to get a comfortable, firm and non-slip grip.
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 to get a firm grip of the lath.

Easy to set the measurement between the
laths by adjusting the rear knob by hand.
A built in scale makes it easy to fine tune the
measurement (E) between the laths.
Low weight aluminum.
Easy to adjust to fit the width on the laths by
turning the front locking screws by hand.
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 these laths it is
essential that they are parallel to each other. The
LathKo helps the roofer to get a firm grip of the
laths and to place them in a 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 adjusta-
ble. 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 (D) 25-80mm and E 220-
455mm are easily adjusted with the two knobs
and the scale on the LathKo gives an exact
adjustment between the laths.

Strong grip of the jaws avoids the laths to slip.

The loop in the rear end makes it possible to

place the LathKo in the belt or to place a
locking stripe on it.
