Scissor Calipers - Precision Surfboard Thickness Gauge

Precision and ease of use come together in our Scissor Calipers, the ultimate tool for monitoring surfboard thickness from blank to finish. Designed by industry veteran Florian Saylor, these calipers feature a unique scissor-action design that allows for quick, one-handed operation while maintaining absolute accuracy across the stringer.

Each set is meticulously crafted from durable 3/4" Baltic Birch and finish-sanded with smooth, rounded edges. The hand grips are specifically contoured for maximum comfort during long shaping sessions, ensuring you can check your measurements frequently without fatigue. Unlike other calipers that use adhesive labels, ours feature a high-quality engraved acrylic scale that will never peel, fade, or lose accuracy in a dusty shaping bay. With a reach capable of measuring boards up to 28" wide, these calipers are a versatile essential for everything from high-performance shortboards to traditional logs.

Key Features:

• Engraved Acrylic Scale: Durable, easy-to-read measurement scale that is built directly into the tool—no stickers to peel or wear off.
• 28" Reach: Versatile enough to measure the widest points on almost any surfboard shape.
• Ergonomic Hand Grips: Smooth, rounded edges designed for comfort and a steady "feel" during use.
• Baltic Birch Construction: Heavy-duty 3/4" wood provides the rigidity needed for repeatable, professional measurements.
• Designer Quality: Features a subtle, laser-engraved logo and precision hardware.

Pro Tip: Use the scissor action to "feel" the thickness as you move down the board. The integrated acrylic scale allows for instant readings without needing to pull a tape measure or secondary ruler.
