A test tool (1) for checking the profile of a structural component (2) is described, the tool (1) comprising a base (3) defining a support surface (4) for the structural component (2) and a plurality of force application devices (6) arranged in respective distinct positions along the base (3) at a predetermined distance from one another and each configured to apply, at the respective position, a control force to the structural component (2) supported by the base (3); wherein each force application device (6) comprises an actuation member (10) and a tip (11), and arrangeable, by means of the actuation member (10), between: an open position, in which the tip (11) is at a non-zero distance from the support surface (4) and from the structural component (2) resting on it, in use; and a closed position, in which the tip (11) is pressed against said structural component (2) to apply said control force thereon and thus push it completely against the support surface (4) to check the conformity of said profile to a specific tolerance; and wherein each force application device (6) further comprises: a spring member (14) operatively coupled to the tip (11) and compressible by means of said pressing of the tip (11) against the structural component (2); and an indicator element (15) carried by the spring member (14), having an external surface (16) with at least one distinctive surface feature (17) and movable by compression of the spring member (14) to render the distinctive surface feature (17) detectable or undetectable according to the extent of the control force applied, in use, to the structural component (2) by means of said pressing of the tip (11).
