Profiler+ Multifunction Scribing Tool, Transfer the Outline of Any Surface on...

I got this to scribe boards against an uneven concrete floor. But before I got to do that, this nifty little tool proved itself useful in ways I hadn't thought of before. One was to give me a level gauge to use with a laser level, to find a level contour on an uneven floor. The shiny brass wheel-nut that tightens the pencil clamp also does a great job reflecting laser level light. So I adjusted the height of the nut to match the laser, then ran the tool over the floor in various places, riding along on its skate wheels until I found a spot with matching depth, marked it, then moved over, repeat, until I had a contour line. Of course, you can also use this to scribe boards. The hardware parts are all good quality and the plastic the thing is made of seems robust, durable, and well molded. The height adjustment works smoothly at the touch of a finger, yet holds firm through use (this is the essential function of the device). I paid 2x or so what I could have paid for one of the cheap Chinese knockoff versions of this thing that Amazon also sells, but I feel good about the quality I got and am happy to reward the people who created this clever design.

Life saver for doing trim against a tin ceiling

A very useful tool for scribing where there us a large difference in depths- the wall we were fitting a comet top to was out 2.5 inches on one side and 1 inch on the other. Nit sure how this would work for fine scribing, but fir oyr purposes it was stable snd easy to use Recommend this product

Made things easier to get a rough template made for boat bulkheads on sailboat. I will be using it a lot in the course of boat rebuild. One con: Markers or Sharpie pens will not fit in holder, pencil is not always satisfactory to mark bulkhead.

I'm a finish carpenter. I sometimes need to scribe things to fit right to walls/fireplaces/ect. So I got this thinking I could mark gaps ranging 1" to 1/16" I could do that with this but with allot of hassle. I needed something that I could just but a counter top up to a wall find where the gap is the biggest and draw a line to follow the contour of the wall to cut and fit. With this one I would have to back it away about an inch and double check everything was square and secured for my mark. However I do like this for a little protractor.

Just here how to answer the question that was difficult to find. How do you flip, switch, change the direction of the center piece so the pencil is closer to the accurate, thinner tip? You move slide the center piece to the middle, and pull apart the flanking plastic sides apart so it falls out. This was also mentioned in the manual but I seemed to have overlook it.

This tool worked better than I expected. Yes, you can make your own profiler tool with just a wooden shim with a hole drilled in it but I'm a DIY'er not a craftsman.

takes a little getting used to but after you use it a couple of times its amazing
