## Description

Clockwise Tools DIGR-0055

Review: I purchased the Clockwise Tools model DITR-0105 dial indicator (without the magnetic base unit) primarily for home shop use and my gunsmith and reloading hobbies. The product features an easy to read display that has good "dark" numerals that don't "fade out" when viewed at an angle. The unit I have also reflects feature upgrades made by Clockwise Tools since some of the earlier reviews on this product were written. These include: (1) The unit now retains the previous measurement... even if the unit "auto powers off" during lengthy operation. (2) It now uses the thin "coin cell" LITHIUM batteries rather than the older style's thicker shorter storage life LR44 alkaline battery type. (3) The data connector is now a small USB type. (4) All of the display digits are "full size" (except for the .00005 value digit )", even when using it in "inch based" mode. The product appears to be very well constructed, and I am quite pleased with its accurate performance thus far...even MORE SO considering its very modest price compared to comparable products. What absolutely puts this Clockwise Tools item it in a league of its own however is the AWESOME Customer Service the seller provides. I come from a Marketing background, and trust me on this... any company in business that I know of would be thrilled to be able to truthfully claim that they provide Customer Service at the same level as Clockwise Tools. I had a minor issue when I received my unit (due to my erroneous interpretation of the product specs) that resulted in several back and forth e-mails with Clockwise Tools. The representative assisting me (Vick) was quite courteous, extremely knowledgeable about the product, and ALWAYS very prompt and thorough with his reply correspondence. Without boring you with details... he went far, far beyond my expectations, especially given the modest price of the product. In terms of my Marketing position and our Customer Support team, we always strove to create a "wow factor" with every interaction with our end-user customers experiencing product difficulty or requiring additional assistance...in this respect Vick "knocked it out of the park"!!! I was so impressed with this experience that I looked to see what other Clockwise Tools items are offered on desertcart, and should I need one... will purchase it with no hesitation whatsoever. I just wish they had an even broader range of items available!!! My only "complaint" is that while the unit ships with both a flat back cover as well as a (lug style), the case will not close with the lug style attached... my Dremel tool came to the rescue for modifying the plastic case, sufficiently resolving this quite minor concern. But....Clockwise Tools' obvious willingness to consider improvement suggestions made by previous purchasers, I suspect that Clockwise Tools is "already working on it", and I'd be surprised if the case's blow mold tooling isn't revised at some point in the future to accommodate the lug attached to the unit. VERY PLEASED WITH THIS PURCHASE!!!
Review: 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?.

Bought this as it is reads more decimal points than the cheaper ones... I use it with a flat base. Occasionally I will cut the block of a cat c15. If you use a needle style gauge and don't look at the gauge properly, you get the wrong reading, with this I hope to be more accurate as I will remove the possibility of making a mistake.
