Invention Design: The LineStein Alignment System
The LineStein Alignment System was created by someone with firsthand experience in the industry – a tradesman out of Northern Alberta, Darrell has a heart for his work. So much so, that he created this product to use every day, and share with others in his industry.

Game Changer Alignment Tool by MAKO Client, Launches
Darrel and Stephanie came to the TriMech team with strong ideas and vision. They had a prototype they had put together but knew our expert help would benefit their product idea. We helped Darrell and Stephanie refine their idea. We completed the design, engineering, and prototyping of the product. Then, we helped them find the right manufacturer. And now this trades tool is available to tradespeople.

About The LineStein Alignment System
The LineStein Alignment System is truly an innovative invention design. The instructions to use it are as follows:
- Clamp the alignment tool to the center of the pile cap
- Make sure the tool’s body is secure against the edge of the plate
- Loop the string line around the screw on the winch drum and turn the handle backward at least 3—4 times to secure the line on the winch.
- After tension is set, slide the winch drum to the left to lock it into place.
- Finally, run the string line to the opposing alignment tool and repeat steps 1 & 2.
