What Customers Are Saying

The contour gauge is a useful tool for measuring and transferring complex shapes, particularly for DIY projects like cutting around door frames, installing flooring, and copying molding profiles. However, the quality and durability of the product are inconsistent, with some users reporting issues like pins falling out, bending, or becoming misaligned, especially with repeated use. Additionally, the smaller size of the gauge may make it less suitable for larger or more intricate profiles. Overall, the contour gauge can be a handy tool when it functions as intended, but the reliability and longevity of the product are concerns for some customers.

Concept is good but Flawed design

Would Not Recommend

The concept is good but wires are too lose and it’s very hard to get the contour you want. I would recommend a plastic one that doesn’t have as much play.

Great concept. Just isn't for me.

Would Not Recommend

I tried using this to get a better, closer cut for my flooring and the prongs get a great profile but when you go to actually trace, it's hard. Also, I wish there was a better way to measure how far in you need to go while tracing the outline.

Handy Tool

Would Recommend

Helped tremendously while cutting tiles around door jams! Easy to use but be careful, the pins will come out if you pull hard.
