Clockwise Tools DIGR-0055 Electronic Digital Indicator Gage Gauge Inch/Metric Conversion 0-0.5 Inch/12.7 mm with Back Lug Auto Off Featured Measuring Tool

It's a decent tool, and I've bought 2 of them. It's a really silly design decision to use a generic USB port on your product if plugging a USB into it will fry the board. The description, warning sticker, and website all say "Don't do it", but they don't say that it's going to ruin the gauge. Why not just come out and say it? Or, even better, don't use a port with a common established standard that destroys your product. Edit: Upgraded to 5 star for great customer service. I was contacted by the company and issued a refund for my original purchase way after it was eligible. I still stand behind my original review that using a micro USB port for a proprietary reader is a bad idea if it will be fried by attaching it to a standard USB port

I don't understand why I didn't purchase this indicator earlier. This is the only one I have that is accurate enough for my steelworking needs, and it's extremely consistent. I took measurements quite a few times on for my table and toolbox and it came back with the exact same readings each time. The ring is super easy to spin around, as well as the hand movement is quite smooth and responsive. I was concerned the hand movement be clock-y based on some of the reviews but that is not the case at all for me. There is a screw to lock the ring that has to be loosened, it's very obvious for its purpose and comes in handy. Anyway, this thing works great every time and is a pleasure to use. Money Well Spent!

Al leer otras opiniones (en Ingles), y donde no le daban del todo las 5 estrellas, pense que seria un aparato de mediana calidad, pero para mi sorpresa por el contrario, es de una calidad soberbia, fabricado en metal, se siente incluso pesado, las mediciones son perfectas y no necesite calibrarlo, cuenta con un estuche bastante solido y ademas viene ya baterias, 2, 1 en el dispositivo y la otra de repuesto. Me ha sido de gran utilidad, que bueno que no me deje llevar por los comentarios negativos. Ademas el precio estuvo de ganga, que mas puedo pedir?.

Fantastic Customer Service !!! This Digital Gauge works Great. I have used this on many projects, from adjusting the bed on my 3D printer to adjusting my table saw to ensure the blade is parallel to the miter slot and the fence. Including using on my hobby CNC metal mill and a Sherline lathe. A week ago, I was working in my shop and I dropped the protective cover on the top of the digital gauge. It bounced off my shoe and the cover was never to be seen again. I found the customer service email online and sent them an email trying to purchase the replacement cover. They replied and asked what the Amazon order number and my address. In 6 days I had a replacement cover and was back in business, the 6 days included the 4th of July holiday. I purchased this gauge in 2017 and 8 years later the sales manager is still taking care of a customer. WOW AWESOME Thank you

Professionally packaged and shipped. Yes, the 4-48 tip is very tight to un-screw! Put aluminum or brass sheet around plunger rod and hold with pliers while you unscrew the tip with another pair of pliers. Do not hold indicator body while unscrewing the factory tip.(why risk internal damage?) I verified the accuracy of travel with many random gage block stacks while indicator was squarely mounted. My unit was within .0005" over the 1" travel. All functions work perfectly. The top of plunger is exposed with a knurled cap. You can grab it and use to raise / lower the measurement tip (some indicators are sealed up top) After several decades of buying US made Machinist tools I cringe to buy Chinese. After purchasing and testing, I appreciate the value of their efforts. My application does not require .0001" resolution so this unit is perfect. No negatives.
