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.

Easy to make useless

Broke with First Use
Would Not RecommendWell, that didn't take long. Tried contouring this to the inside wall of my van, which has some rounded sheet metal, at odd angles, and the pins not only went crooked on me, but some of the pins promptly fell out of the device. And that rendered the unit useless instantly. I'll be looking for another version with sturdier pins, locked into the device in a more effective manner. Bummer.

Not a good purchase
Would Not RecommendThis tool is not only not accurate but in operable as the pins fell out of it. it has no locking mechanism to lock the impression therefore pins will move slightly making it a worthless paper weight.

cheaply made and falls apart
Would Not RecommendThe combs move left to right freely. Used on first job and several combs fell out. Does not provide an accurate profile. Unfortunately disposed of it after one project.

Junk
Would Not RecommendPins were bent when we opened the package and made very cheap for the price. I went to another tool store an purchased one triple this size and $5 cheaper. Don't buy this unless you just have to

Slides smooth but can’t lock in place
Slides very smoothly and has very fine separations to get good detail. Wish I could lock the slides in place though.
