A locking contour gauge for tracing shapes
This contour gauge uses closely spaced ABS strips to follow the outline of an edge or profile. A metal lock holds the arrangement while you transfer the shape to your workpiece.
Choose a 5-inch or 10-inch version in Orange, Blue, Red or Gray. The source describes an aluminum core and a scale with metric and imperial markings for reference while fitting flooring, carpet or other materials.
