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.

Profile Gage Review
Would RecommendI have not used the tool in service yet, but it is very solid and built well. Not a light service tool. Should be able to stand up to a fair amount of use and abuse.

Contour Gauge Great tool
Would RecommendPicked one of these up after trying to use a DIY version. DIY might have worked on a less complicated profile... The GT gauge worked as anticipated...

Nice product
Do what I need it to do. Other products out there will do the same but you get what you pay for. Did pay much and met my basic need for a simple job.

Does not work well at all
the metal pins get pushed to one side as you press it on the original. Useless.

Great for basic contours
Would RecommendUseful little tool, on larger or more complicated curves it loses some functionality, but when using it to find simple curse and transfer them to material it gets pretty close. I found it useful to start all the pins at flush to one side, then slowly push the tool to avoid the pins pinching or bending, or alternatively hold the unit in place and use my fingers to push the pins one one at a time until they reached what I was copying.
