Contour Gauge 5-Inch with Lock
Press the teeth against baseboard trim or odd pipe runs, throw the clamp, and carry the exact profile back to your workbench.
Contour gauges, folding rules, angle finders and marking tools that copy a shape onto a plank before the saw touches it.
16 pieces on this shelf, 12 tool bodies before the options, from $15.99 to $99.99.

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.

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.

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.

An aluminum rule and protractor head that locks down with a thumb nut for laying out lines, finding angles, and setting saw bevels across the bench.

Press the plastic pins against a baseboard or copper pipe, throw the side lever to freeze the shape, and trace the cut line onto your stock.

Push the teeth against the baseboard or pipe, throw the clamp, and trace the curve straight onto your board.

Two gauges in two lengths to press against baseboard trim, copper supply lines, or wheel arches and transfer the line to your stock.

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

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

Bright green cross lines cover the entire room while the internal pendulum finds plumb and true level across bare subfloors.

Four green planes wrap the walls, floor, and ceiling while the included tripod holds your working height off the subfloor.
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.
