This was gift dont know……..looks good on videos though

This is a very useful tool, as it saves time and easy to use. Good value for monies spent

Keep in mind that the pins don’t go right up to the side edge. If needed in that direction, there is about a half inch gap.

My brother in law uses them for work.

Works great. Item as described

The Sakar gauge was ordered for use in my home projects.When the package containing the Sakar gauge was opened, I started thinking about various projects it could be used in. This gauge can be adjusted to various sizes and contours. It has a lever-type lock thatmakes it easy to get an accurate reading. I like this feature since once the gauge is adjusted you don't have to keep readjusting or hoping the gauge contour stays in place.It's made of ABS plastic (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene for the non-scientists reading this) and has strong & durable characteristics. Two gauges come in this package, a 5 inch and 10 inch gauge. I certainly like receiving 2 since there are some projects in which a 10 inch length tool will be too long for measuring an area.The measurement "tines" (I don't know what else to call them) may be slightly large for measuring an area precisely. They could be slightly smaller. I don't know if this would make them impractical to be made from ABS. If they were 1/2 the width with double the tines, then it seems this would make the measurements in some cases more accurate. But then, the tines might need to be made of metal.BOTTOM LINE: I like these adjustable gauges and have multiple carpentry & tile projects planned for them. These are certainly worth the price for a tool that can be used for years.

as it should

I was putting in a new floor and thought these would be handy for contours around various items I had to work around. I had a 450lb cast iron bathtub with 4 legs to the floor that's been there for 90 years, and 6 water pipes through the floor. The problem is when you get the contours, trying to trace them by pencil of course the pencil is going to be several mm offset so if you cut there, not even close to right. On top of that, trying to trace by pencil, even being extremely gentle, the plastic leaves bend away and you are all messed up. I used a ruler and calipers to measure and cut. Worked much better for me.
