Contour Gauge 10-Inch with Lock
A row of flat plastic teeth that presses against door casings, pipe curves, and uneven baseboards to lock the profile for a pencil trace.
Long straight levels take up half a bench and snag on everything in a truck bed. We built this one on hinges so you can run it flat along a shelf or wrap it around a square post. When the work is done, it folds down into a brick that fits in a small drawer.
Price and stock live with the storefront and can move between visits.

The sections pivot so you can wrap the frame around fence posts, stair stringers, and plumbing runs. You read the bubble across corners that a straight bar cannot reach without a second pair of hands.
We set blue acrylic vials into the segments for level, plumb, and angled work. The liquid settles fast against the lines, which helps when you are holding a board with your knee and marking with a pencil.
The body is oxidized aluminum to shed shop grime and resist surface rust. Tough polymer joints hold the angle you set, and rubber caps on the ends take the knock when it slides off the bench.
Straight levels live on wall hooks because they fit nowhere else. This frame folds down flat into a rectangular stack, so it rides inside a standard metal toolbox beside your squares and tape without bending out of true.
