Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
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.

Slides very smoothly and has very fine separations to get good detail. Wish I could lock the slides in place though.

JUNK!!
Would Not RecommendCame apart after using it 1 time, blades fell everywhere! Couldn't believe it, thought one purchased from Lowes would be decent but turned out to be junk.
Not happy
Would Not RecommendI was disappointed with the lack of quality of this product, the metal brittles come off really easily and I was unable to get an accurate measure/cut with this tool.

An amazing tool
I don't know how i made it this long without this tool. I just used it while installing a pergo floor and it allowed me to get in tighter to my door frames than i could have ever dreamt. Its already proved itself invaluable.
