A handy marking tool not sold in regular hardware stores

In construction and repair, the accuracy and speed of marking is important. Each has a tape measure, a square. This is not always enough. Professionals use in their work specialized patterns and devices for more accurate, and most importantly, fast marking and drilling.

For working with a tree, I showed some options in the article: Inexpensive and simple tool for marking and drilling when working with wood.I will continue my review of such a rare tool that you will not find in ordinary hardware stores.

Knife with side tape for marking and cutting drywall:

Body: aluminum alloy with ABS plastic inserts. The set includes 5 knives. Size: 23x7 cm. The release of the tape is secured with a side clamp. The knife is retracted into the body. A case for storing knives is made inside the handle. There is a hole in the measuring tape - you can make circular markings or cut in a circle.

Link on aliexpress. Available here with 10 blades or separately. And also there is an expedited delivery from a warehouse in Russia within 10 days. Buyer's photo:

I think for those who constantly work with drywall in the decoration and renovation of premises - this tool will greatly simplify the work and speed up the process.

The following precise marking tool, where even the thickness of the line from the pencil matters:

The tool will be useful where you need to draw a parallel line repeating a curved surface. Measure a line around the workpiece, etc. On one side there is a holder for a pencil or "scribe" made of metal (included in the kit), and on the other side there is a disc for applying a fine line of marking. Aluminum tool body. Weight: 420 gr. Packing size: 200x60x60 mm. Link on aliexpress

The tool is suitable for both furniture makers and those who work with metal professionally and who need precision.

The next tool, which is very easy to use and simplifies the process, is a ruler for marking corners when laying tiles, laminate and complex corner shapes. Pattern repeating the contour:

Sometimes the corners have complex geometry and in order for the tile to fit exactly into it without unnecessary gaps, you need to make a pattern from cardboard. This is a long process of measuring and fitting. With this ruler, the whole process is simplified and time is saved. Fix the segments of the ruler, repeating the contour and transfer it to the workpiece. The ruler is made of plastic. Four segments: two 25 cm and two 6 cm. Weight - 75 gr. Packing size: 30x5x2 cm. Four colors to choose from.

Link on aliexpress. There are also 4 colors to choose from here. There are more complex rulers (with 6 fixing segments), with an element for marking and drilling for a water outlet. I will show it in the next part.

Perhaps something similar is sold in ordinary hardware stores. But I didn’t come across. What rare markup tool you use - write in the comments.
