Microjig is all about innovation, creating thoughtful and intuitive solutions for everyday woodworking challenges. Recently, the company’s newest product was recognised for just that with a Pro Tool Innovation Award.

Microjig’s FITFINDER 1/2 Gauge took home the top honours in the Hand Tool–Gauges category

This year marks 10 years for the Pro Tool Innovation Awards, which recognise tools that provide excellent value, advanced features and the newest innovations. This year, there were submissions from 99 manufacturers and brands with over 465 entries.

“The FITFINDER solves a very common problem for anyone who works with wood,” said Bruce Wang, Microjig CEO. “Finding the 1/2 point of your material or centring your stock would be time-consuming, tedious and not always accurate. We’re thrilled the product has been recognised for addressing this long-standing pain point and delighting our customers.”

Award categories include tools, accessories, fasteners, safety equipment, storage and more, spanning the construction, automotive, landscape and trade industries. A panel of industry professionals judges the awards, taking into consideration innovative features, performance, value and more.

The judges praised the tool’s ease of use in finding the exact centre of woodworking material: "When you need to find the exact centre of your material, near misses cost money and time. Microjig is making the process much easier with their FITFINDER 1/2 Gauge Jig. Simply slide the jig’s moving section up, let it rest on top of your workpiece and the front automatically sets the precise 1/2 depth. Lock it in,d transfer it to your blade height, mark it on your workpiece, or however best helps you out. It doesn’t need batteries and it takes just seconds to operate.”

The FITFINDER, released in 2022, expands MICROJIG’s product offerings to nine distinct woodworking lines. The FITFINDER allows users to find the exact centre of stock with no measuring and no calculations to work out, saving time and money by eliminating missed cuts.
