Product Description |
|
Precision measurements and set-ups have never been so easy. Magnetic base engages with just the turn of a switch and allows pinpoint adjustment. The dial indicator features 0-1" travel and has a resolution of 0.001". This fine set includes a molded case for protection and convenience. |

Good quality for the price |
|
I was impressed with the quality of this produce. Every thing is heavy duty. Good magnet power. I would recommend this. |

Useful but very delicate |
Like others I find the indicator highly useful. The mount
is not quite as easy to use as I might like, but it's adequate.
The main thing I didn't realize is that the mounting hardware is very delicate---like another reviewer, I broke mine just by trying to tighten the indicator mount.
Grizzly customer service was just OK: both the part and the larger assembly were back ordered, so they charged me for another whole unit and will refund me when I return the broken unit. But it looks like I'll be out shipping one way, and I had to spend 30 minutes on the phone with customer service---a call I paid for.
Buy the tool, but when tightening the knobs, be very, very gentle. |

Grizzly Mechanical Dial Indicator |
|
This "last word" indicator is an old-fashion mechanical unit. It works fairly well. I would not select it for everyday use in a busy shop, but for my home shop where it will see only mild use it is OK. I checked accuracy against thickness gages (leaf-type, for setting clearances) at .002, .005, .010, and .020, and it was quite good. The plastic case is reasonably sturdy. |

Clamp broke after minimal use ...Griz customer service awesome |
|
One of the clamps broke after pretty minimal use. Contacted Griz and they got it corrected immediately, prompt and courteous customer service. Replacement clamp has worked fine. |

Excellent value for the money |
This unit was an unexpected suprise. I needed an inexpensive dial indicator for automotive use occasionally at home, and ordered this one. It is accurate, well built, and far exceeded my expectations for this price. I will be looking to Grizzly again for more hand tools. Thank you.
