AI Gear 10-Inch Contour Gauge Shape Copying Tool for DIY, Woodworking, Flooring & Tiling for Marking Around Pipes, Corners & Edges

An absolute must have in a tool box!! Sturdy, great quality, accurate, looks good and good size.

Great tool, it really helped with cutting the laminate around the door frames, it would have been impossible to do without the tool. Good value for money and easy to use. The only slight drawback is the Alan Key that comes with it, that locks the tool in place, its very small/thin, its easy to lose and I kept misplacing it, which slowed me down, I definitely will lose the Alan Key in the future and will need to buy numerous ones to replace it. Apart from that it's a great piece of kit and definitely made the job easier.

Great item

This contour gauge works great i have used it for different jobs since i got it i would recommend it.

I recently purchased the AI Gear Contour Gauge Duplicator to assist with laying flooring in my bathroom, particularly around the base of the toilet. Unfortunately, my experience with this product has been mixed. Initial Success: When I first used the contour gauge, it worked perfectly. I was able to trace the shape around the toilet base accurately, which made cutting the flooring a breeze. The initial precision and ease of use were impressive, and I had high hopes for its continued performance. Issues with Durability and Functionality: However, after the first successful use, things went downhill. The 'pins' of the gauge would not stay in place, making it nearly impossible to trace shapes accurately. This was extremely frustrating, as the tool's primary function is to hold the contour steady while you trace it. Without this, the gauge became practically useless for my needs. Design Flaws: Another issue I encountered was with the allen key provided to lock the shape in place. The allen key is very small and easy to misplace, which adds to the inconvenience. A better design would have incorporated a more substantial locking mechanism or a way to securely attach the allen key to the tool to prevent loss. Overall Experience: While the Gauge Duplicator started off promising, its lack of durability and practical design flaws made it difficult to use effectively beyond the initial attempt. I’m left wondering if I am doing something wrong or if this product simply doesn’t hold up well with repeated use. If you’re considering this tool for precision measuring, be aware of these potential issues. It may work fine for light, occasional use, but for more demanding tasks, you might need a more robust and reliable option.

Fine easy to use

This is a handy little tool for DIY projects and it helped a lot when cutting around tricky shapes like skirting boards and door frames. It does take a bit of getting used to and it is not the easiest tool to use for larger or uneven objects like the base of a toilet. The pins can shift if you are not careful and the locking mechanism could be a bit tighter. That said, for detailed or awkward corners it can save time and guesswork. It does feel a little gimmicky but still worth having around for certain jobs.

Excellent item.

Ottimo prodotto utile, mi è servito per tagliare in maniera perfetta

Använt denna vid en renovering av en husvagn och den hjälpte mig massor för att få till udda konturer. Hade nog blivit gråhårig utan denna.

Me vino muy bien para poner suelos laminados , buen producto

Redaktioneller Hinweis: Das Produkt habe ich käuflich erworben. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kurzbewertung Kurzfazit: Ja, ist gut zu nutzen Sterne: 5 Hersteller / Shop / Marke / Verkäufer: AlGear Verarbeitung: sehr gut Anzahl: 1 Funktion: sofort verwendbar -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Artikel: Hergestellt aus ABS-Kunststoff, bietet diese Markierungslehre eine einfache Möglichkeit, Formen immer wieder nachzeichnen zu können. Die Skala misst den Messwert in Zentimeter (cm) und Zoll. Meine Meinung: ABS-Plastik steht für Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol-Copolymer und ist sehr stabil. Somit ist es auch bei herausfordernden Arbeiten wie bei Arbeiten am Boden (Laminat) gut als Konturenlehre zu verwenden. Nutzung: Ich finde, diese Schablone ist sehr gut und einfach zu handhaben. Ich bin froh, mich überwunden zu haben das Geld auszugeben und nicht weiter mit selbstgebastelten „Hilfslehren“ vorlieb zu nehmen, da diese im Regelfall immer ungenauer sind. Zumindest war dies bei mir der Fall. Bisher hatte ich noch kein Problem damit, dass die Maße nicht richtig gepasst haben. Ich bin schon sehr auf die nächsten Herausforderungen, die auf mich zukommen gespannt. Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis: Das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis finde ich komplett in Ordnung. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fazit: Es ist funktionell und sehr gut verarbeitet. Aus diesem Grund vergebe ich auch 5 Sterne. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wie folgt ist mein Bewertungsmaßstab: 5x - Klare Empfehlung von meiner Seite aus. 4x - Hat ein kleines Manko, aber dennoch gut 3x - kann man benutzen 2x - Keine Empfehlung von mir, nicht gut handhabbar. 1x - Ist unbrauchbar / fehlerhaft.

It works as expected
