Abstract: A device for measuring a flange in a creased sheet of metal is provided, along with a method of use thereof. The device includes a block including at least two slots and a body extending from the block in a first direction. The device also includes at least two retractable teeth. Each tooth is mounted in a respective one of the at least two slots. Each tooth is biased toward the first direction and retractable in a second direction opposite the first direction. A foot is mounted to an end of the body and includes a groove configured to receive an edge of the sheet of metal. A free edge of the flange is received in the groove and a creased edge is retained by the teeth. The flange may be measured by inserting a depth gauge through the block to a surface of the sheet of metal.
