Review on πŸ“ 4/09 Shingle Gauge by Haag by Ronald Orear

Revainrating 1 out of 5

$35 for a tiny piece of metal that doesn't last long

As other reviewers have written, Haag is the only manufacturer that makes them and hence they are able to extend their monopolistic strong hand by using charge a whopping $35. for a 6 inch high piece of metal. I might be willing to pay that kind of money for something so simple. A very high quality tool that will last a lifetime for $35? Act! Unfortunately, this tool is just a piece of metal with a silk-screened mark - not even engraved! In this case, Haag is just taking advantage of the lack of competition. After a few days in my tool bag, the pressure gauge markings started to wear off because, as I said, Haag went for the cheap one Decided away and used ink instead of engraved design elements. A frustrated customer fell into the hands of a giant corporation.
