6" / 150 MM DEPTH GAUGE METRIC & IMPERIAL STANDARDS - ENGINEERING

This is small but seems as solid as it could be for the size I used these to measure tie rod ends when replacing mine. It worked out great. You can probably bend this easily if not paying attention when storing etc. Just be mindful it is metal but it is small as well. If kept / stored correctly it will probably last a lifetime. (Seems like an old tool if you know what I mean)

I’m satisfied with this product, works fine. Came covered with a light coating of grease, so I disassembled it to wipe it dry, the workmanship, and tolerances are fine. I appreciate the tight graduations. Notice the spring, if you back the knob off a ways the ruler slides nicely, and then with just a slight turn it locks in place. Good tool at an inexpensive price.

I’ve only had this depth gauge for a couple days, but right out of the package there were a couple things I didn’t like. The gauge has some good weight to it and works well. It is accurate, easy to read and easy to use. The only issues that I have with this product are as follows 1. Upon opening the gauge out of the package, I immediately noticed the ruler had some light rust on it. Not a huge deal, but I was not happy to see it. 2. The slide was pretty hard to move at first, but after using some oil at work for lube, it started to move much easier. As an overview, this is a great product for the price, however there are a couple of things to be on the lookout for.

A must have for any desk or toolbox.

Excelente para trabajar en el torno cuando se necesita una profundidad exacta

I needed to establish the depth for dowel placement on a wood project The depth gauge was the perfect solution

I had some spare time to tinker around- about an hour so I took it to my shop. Tool was extremely rough and difficult to slide the measuring gauge through. The mechanism that hold the depth gauge was hanging up, biting into the housing, and causing the ruler to bind. I tool needle files and cleaned the track bottom and sides. I rounded the split assembly to remove burrs with 220/ 1000 grit .....buffed off the blackened "finish" which was either paint or sone coating that felr more like old hardened grease and dirt. Used Dremel and wire brush bit to clean the paint off the adjustment screw. Threw some gun grease in the tightening assembly. Buffed and smoother the body. Smooth as butter now. For < $10.....this is a little gem.

When I took it out of the package I thought I had been sent an antique well worn tool. The machining reminded me of my grandfather’s tools from the early 1900’s. The rule could not slide freely in the machined groove (even after some work on my part), the markings on the base were barely readable and the knob/spring mechanism was extremely difficult to advance or back out. The tool I received was a terribly manufactured simple tool. Sorry to leave such a bad review but this tool and company deserve it.
