tbh, cheap ones off ebay are actually pretty good, we have a few of them at work, as well as a few more expensive ones and they're pretty much the same. The better ones are slightly smoother in operation, but for 99% of jobs this wont matter at all..... And on the 7th day........... God created turbochargers! |

Degrees? Dial gauge measures lift/movement not angles. Protractor measures degrees. I'd go for imperial mate as usually with the a-series everything is imperial. Edited by John on 21st Dec, 2010. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

I'd be tempted with a quality 2nd hand gauge |

Don't worry about it Simon. You don't tend to pay attention to the digits after a while you just look at the movement of the needle about zero.
