Precision-made tools and small-batch goods for the outdoors. Designed and built in California.
Two formats of the same tool, both cut to the California legal minimum. Pick the one that matches how you like to work the surf.
The original CXB-Designs gauge, made to mount on your clam fork so the measure is always right there in the surf. Check a clam against the line and decide in a second.
Same legal-minimum accuracy in a handheld format, for clammers who'd rather measure by hand than mount it to a fork.
Prefer to buy in person before you hit the beach? Our gauges are carried at:

Our companion site, PismoBeachClamming.com, covers regulations, equipment, and where to dig. It also has a tide calculator that shows you exactly which upcoming low tides are best for clamming.
CXB-Designs is actively looking for retail partners along the California coast and beyond. We offer wholesale pricing on our clam gauges, with more outdoor and fishing goods on the way — laser-engraved trousit tools and other small-batch gear.
