Used this to cut the shape of the flooring to match the fireplace rock hearth when I put in new flooring and it worked great.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Works great

I like this tool for its price, and also the narrow "fins", or slats, it has for a more detailed gauge. There are other similar products with 1/8" fins that just wouldn't work for me since they wouldn't give me the detail I commonly need.The downside, with this product being plastic, is that those thin fins flex apart sideways on rounded shapes quite easily and require a little squeezing together by hand to keep them straight as I am gauging an object. For the price, this is something I am okay with. For me, I want the detail of the thinner slats.To put this in perspective, I don't need this type of tool often so it works fine for me as it is cheap and accurate with a little TLC.If I were still doing Home Improvement flooring, as I did for 10 years, then I would look for something more substantial and expensive if you are going to need such a tool again and again. Having said that, if you deal with door jams and square objects, it might work for you over a long period of time. The spreading of the slats occurs when pressing them against rounded objects that try to push the thin plastic slats off to the side. The slats are thin plastic and easily bend when confronted with angles and rounded shapes. It is what it is, and it is very cheap.

I brought this for all the men in our family as a stocking stuffer. They all loved it! It is built well, it’s durable, the size is great for tool boxes, and has great functionality.

It works well when cutting around moldings.

Its not very even when you press against objects, some parts go down some dont and its under angle

Bought has a Christmas gift for my husband. Very functionable and durable. He loved it.
