Drawhead Alignment Tool

Knucklemate is an Innovative  tool for the specific use of drawhead alignment.

Knucklemate was designed and patented in 1987 by Rick and L.T. White especially for the purpose of making the difficult task of manually aligning mismatched drawheads less strenuous.

 Knucklemate has been proven useful by Major U.S and Canadian railroads in greatly reducing the possibility of drawhead related back injuries, which can cause permanent physical damage and suffering. These injuries often result in millions of dollars spent on treatment and Court settlements.

At Knucklemate, we offer a quality tool for the railroad industry.   

Produced  solely by Knucklemate, owned and operated exclusively by the White family.  L.T. White retired from CSX Railroad,  and suffered greatly with back injuries sustained by manually aligning drawheads.  His son, Rick, invented the Knucklemate tool to assist his father on the job.  Now, over 35 years later, two more generations have joined the team.  While L.T. is no longer with us, we strive to maintain the high standards we have always put into building Knucklemate tools.  It's an ongoing tribute to our father,  Papa, and great grandpa. 

We  begin this year with the younger generation of our family  learning the details and skills needed to continue producing a high quality tool. 

We are dedicated to shipping only the best tool that we can produce.

 Our goal is to save Railroad workers from unnecessary back injury.
