15 pieces on this shelf, 9 tool bodies before the options, from $10.79 to $89.99.

Press the teeth against baseboard trim or odd pipe runs, throw the clamp, and carry the exact profile back to your workbench.

A row of flat plastic teeth that presses against door casings, pipe curves, and uneven baseboards to lock the profile for a pencil trace.

A machined aluminum layout square that wraps three faces of a board at once, holding preset angles and scribing lines without repeated flipping.

Anodized aluminum layout square with three scaled edges and a hidden indexing pin for setting angles across your stock.

Press the plastic teeth against baseboards, pipe runs, or fender arches, lock the profile in place, and trace the line right onto your board.

Press the teeth against baseboard, pipes, or casing, lock the spine, and carry the outline directly to your board.

An aluminum dial that takes the guesswork out of trim cuts by reading corner angles and showing the exact miter saw setting.

Line up repeated drill holes and check level on cabinet faces without measuring each bore by hand from scratch.

Lay out your cut line and check the miter angle with one aluminum ruler that locks fast along the stock edge.

An aluminum marking scriber with extension sections and angle stops for laying out cabinet pulls, edge offsets, and long angled board lines.

Run an accurate scribe line along wavy baseboards, unlevel floors, and odd gaps using a locking aluminum body that rides in a pocket.

Mark uneven walls, scribe parallel lines, and trace tight arcs using an aluminum body that clips straight to your belt or pocket.

A hinged aluminum level that bends around posts, corners, and pipes, then folds into a tight block for the toolbox tray.

Two connecting contour profiles and a deep hole pencil capture complex baseboard, duct, and pipe shapes across wide boards in one pass.

Two gauges in two lengths to press against baseboard trim, copper supply lines, or wheel arches and transfer the line to your stock.
The pins press against a door casing or a pipe and hold the profile. You trace that line onto the tile, cut once, and the piece drops in.
Sawdust and drywall powder pack between the teeth and slow the slide. A wipe before the lock goes on keeps the copy honest.
An angle finder reads what the wall is really doing. That beats trimming the same board four times and calling the last cut close enough.
The same piece often belongs to more than one part of the property. These are the places this shelf reaches.
Rooms, trim, doors and the odd jobs that appear indoors between the bigger projects.

Nothing on this shelf cuts anything. Every piece here exists so the cut you do make lands in the right place. That is a quiet kind of tool, and it is the one people reach for most often once they own it.
A contour gauge handles the shapes a tape cannot describe: pipe collars, curved baseboard, stone edges. A folding rule and an angle finder handle the numbers a tape gets wrong on a corner that settled forty years ago. Between them they cover most of the reasons a plank ends up two inches too short.
Tell us what broke and where it sits, and the finder narrows this shelf down to the pieces that fit.
