Gingerbread house that stands
Gingerbread house walls need to be the same thickness or the roof slides off. Used the 6 mm rings this year and the house actually stayed up through New Year.
Now delivering to South Africa, with prices in rand. Shop all
Fit a pair of rings to the ends and roll until they touch the worktop. The dough underneath is then the same thickness all the way across, so biscuits bake evenly and pastry has no thin spot to tear.

How to use it
Unscrew one end cap, slide a ring of the same size onto each end, and screw the cap back on.
Roll out from the middle. When both rings touch the worktop, the dough under the barrel is that thickness.
Read the scale on the barrel to see how wide the sheet is before you cut or lift it.
Close up

Four pairs, colour coded by depth: green lifts the barrel 10 mm, orange 6 mm, red 3 mm and blue 2 mm.
Marks run along the steel, so you can roll a sheet to the width a recipe or a tin asks for.
One at each end. Unscrew a cap to swap rings, and always fit the same size at both ends or the sheet will slope.
Compared
A plain pin works if you have a good eye. Rings take the guessing out of it and travel with the pin, while loose guide strips have to be laid either side of the dough every time.

2 or 3 mm for pasta sheets, crackers and thin pastry, 6 mm for biscuits and a tart case, 10 mm for scones and thick cookies.
Yes. Take the rings off and it works as a plain 44 cm straight pin for anything where the thickness doesn't matter.
44 cm from end to end. The steel barrel is 35 cm long and 4.5 cm across, so it rolls a sheet up to about 35 cm wide in one pass.
It needs a light dusting of flour, as wood does. Chilled dough sticks less. For very soft dough, roll it between two sheets of baking paper with the rings still fitted.
Yes. Dust the worktop with icing sugar or cornflour and fit the 2 or 3 mm rings, which suit covering a cake or cutting shapes.

Kept rolling with the rings on but the dough spread wider than the barrel, so the edges ended up thinner than the middle anyway. Probably my technique, but I've gone back to my old pin.

Made a quiche with a homemade crust on a Tuesday. Crust rolled in a minute, even thickness, no soggy bottom or burnt edge.

The idea is great and the cookies came out even. My issue is the caps. One of mine is stiff to unscrew, so switching between the 3 and 6 mm rings halfway through a baking session means wrestling with it with floury hands. If you pick one thickness and leave it, you'll probably love it. I switch a lot so it's just okay for me.

Way too long for my tiny kitchen. Gave it to my mom.

Rolled pizza dough with the 3 mm rings for a thin crispy base. Every pizza came out even, no thick middle and floppy edge.

Had to learn to roll from the middle outwards so the rings touch the counter. After that, great results.

My galley kitchen has about half a metre of clear worktop and this pin takes up most of it, so I end up rolling at an angle. The pastry is even though.

Even dough every single time. Very happy.
