Trim Buddy, The Original Trim Buddy Finishing Multi-Tool, Made in the USA

Works as advertised!! Makes the finish work of my remodel easier.

2 issues with this tool. First is how incredibly small it is. It wouldn’t take much at all to lose or misplace this item. Smallest reveal gauge I’ve seen in 20 years as a carpenter. Secondly is how micro the pencil holes are. Need to reshapen your No. 2 pencil over and over to consistently fit in the holes.

The concept is solid but theres a major design flaw with this tool which makes it almost useless. If the drywall is proud of the jambs you will not be able to guide this over the jambs flush and your lines will be wavy and/or a complete mess. And if youve hung very many doors or installed jambs and casings you know drywall is almost always proud on one side, somewhere along the opening. I wish I didnt spend the money on this. Waste. Stay away.

This would be a great product. But not practical for any type of carpentry. You can only use it for .3mm lead according to the company. So a true worker that Does carry around a carpenters pencil or something close to it, this product just does not work. The holes are all different sizes. Not worth the $16. I’ll stick to a tape measure

Great value! Ease of use!

This jig has about a million versions on here that are made in China. The measurements are off, and sometimes its just missing features entirely. I got burnt my first one, wasnt careful enough, and ordered a fake. It didnt even have the reveal on it, which was a big part of the reason I bought it. I do trim work, and this is invaluable. Couldnt be happier with it, its made from that hard plastic that feels like it will last forever, but wont mark sensitive material like stick on tile and things like that. For fifteen bucks, you cant go wrong. Just dont try to save a few dollars and buy a fake.

No instructions

Just like the wooden ones that we have been making for decades.

Speeds up setting casing on doors ensuring a consistent 1/4 reveal.

This makes trim work a breeze. Absolutely love this making my life easier
