RAK Contour Gauge Shape Duplicator (10 Inch Lock) Template Tool with Adjustable Lock Precisely Copies Irregular and Awkward Shapes - Must Have Tool for DIY Handyman, Construction

Used on a recent laminate floor installation- made it easy to trace around some weird shaped moldings….Love it / highly recommend!

This is a great little gadget. Not something I will use often however when needed worth its weight in gold. Easy locking device which work effectively and can be operated with one hand. Great for wood working template and when tiling curved areas. Well worth the money.

I bought this gauge after reading a review off a reputable website. Unfortunately I am very disappointed with this gauge and will most definitely be returning it. First and foremost, the gauge only has a useable throat depth of a bout 1-1/2" inch meaning only shallow, inline copes can be duplicated. Anything that steps or is deeper than 1-1/2" is unreadable. Frankly, it renders this tool pointless at $70 since a piece of cardboard work better. Secondly, the locks are not only not tight enough to firmly hold the fingers in place, theres no tension adjustment to keep the gauge tight as the plastics wear out. Extreme poor design for an expensive, top rated gauge. Since I really wanted to use this on vertical joints, I searched for a better product. Attached it a picture of a competitor that cost half as much for 2 gauge instead of one (both with a 3" working throat and locks that actually work) out-performing the RAK. The given contour is just as accurate but unlike the RAK, the competing gauge actually makes it all the way into the corner. You think that this competitor is comparably expensive, but its not. It in fact not only cost 50% of the RAK, but comes with a second 5" gauge.

The contour tool was everything I wanted except for its length. I would like one twice the length.

Great product with impressive fit and finish! Seems sturdy and is very easy to use!
