Description

Every workshop should have one of these. It’s a tape measure stop designed to make “finger-guided cutting” easier and more comfortable.

 

I created this tool because I used to work with drywall (plasterboard) sheets, and I know how important speed is when cutting them. That’s why many professionals use the “finger-guided” method. However, after making multiple cuts, your finger can become sore, and in some cases even develop blisters or cuts.

 

This simple tool protects your finger, improves comfort, and allows for quick adjustments of measurements. That’s also why I didn’t add a locking screw for the tape measure - constantly tightening and loosening a screw takes time. Instead, you simply hold it in place with your finger, making it fast and easy to change dimensions and work more efficiently.

 

The print uses only 6 grams of filament.
