Anyone ever use or see one of these?

I have several uses for it if it does what they say. I have ordered one and supposed to be delivered in about ten days.

I've been seeing incessant ad videos for that on Facebook lately...please be sure to give us a good review once you receive and use yours. It's certainly an interesting an seemingly adaptive tool!

they're anywhere from $10-$12 dollars up to about $30.00. Home Depot has them. When I was in geometry class in high school, a zillion years ago, the teacher had one, much larger, at the front of the class.
Yes, it does what they say it does. I have one somewhere in a box that I used to do tile, and to scribe the ends of the individual flooring boards, when we installed some flooring.
I would take with a grain of salt that it is a accurate as they imply it is. It's good for "gross" line transfers, (Tile and flooring don't have to be exact due to trim molding) but I wouldn't try to build cabinets with one. The individual "legs" of mine weren't straight out of the box. It's only plastic.
If you need to transfer lines, angles, they're good.

I have seen pictures of older ones that were used to make 3D models from topomaps.

Putting in flooring is just what I plan on using it for. Just started doing some VCT and LVT and going around door frames and other obstructions can be really time consuming. Thanks for you thoughts.
