Product Overview
The Dicunoy Shingle Thickness Gauge is a compact, two‑piece measuring tool designed specifically for asphalt composition shingles installed before January 2011. Each gauge measures 5.9″ long by 1.3″ wide and is forged from thick stainless steel, providing exceptional durability and resistance to bending during daily use.

The etched numbers are recessed to prevent wear, ensuring consistent accuracy over time.

Usage
This gauge is ideal for roofing contractors, home‑repair professionals, and DIY homeowners who need to quickly assess shingle thickness on site. Simply slide the gauge under a shingle edge; the etched scale will indicate the shingle type and its thickness, allowing you to confirm warranty eligibility or determine if replacement material matches the original specification. Its lightweight design (6.74 oz) and included carabiner let you attach it to a belt, pocket, or tool bag for instant access during inspections.

FAQ
Can this gauge be used on shingles installed after 2011?
The gauge is calibrated for pre‑2011 asphalt composition shingles, which have distinct thickness profiles. While it can still provide a rough measurement on newer shingles, accuracy may vary.
Is the stainless steel prone to scratching?
The stainless steel surface is hardened, but normal handling may produce minor surface scratches that do not affect measurement accuracy because the scale is etched into the metal.
How do I clean the gauge after use?
Wipe the gauge with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. For stubborn residue, a mild soap solution followed by a thorough dry is recommended to prevent corrosion.
What warranty does Dicunoy offer?
