Review on ⭐️ iGaging Digital Magnetic Electronic Height Gauge by Stephen Pendergrass

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It does the job

My measurements so far have been very reproducible and consistent and it gets the job done within budget. It works very well for measuring the height of something that is fixed in size, but sucks for setting the height of something that is adjustable. I had to draw a .244 inch high line on some metal parts that were coated with construction fluid. Eventually I got to this place but damn it was annoying. 0.355 0.280 0.245 0.245 Tap 0.165 Ugh 0.480 0.295 0.249 0.2455 0.245 0.2445 Tap 0.1925 REALLY? enough to do with a digital thumbwheel caliper, but with this thing the complexity is off the charts. I think I fooled around for 20 minutes before I finally got it. Damn! I came back to this review to deduct another star because this thing just eats batteries. I don't use this thing every day and every time I took it out of the box to use it I had to put in a new battery. Finally smarter and took out the battery before putting it on the shelf for the last time. Maybe I can use the battery better that way. Among the Mittutoyo digital stuff I've bought, the power management on this iGaging device is ridiculous. This is a compromise between cheap Chinese electronic gauges and expensive Chinese gauges. That's what I think. I won't buy a more expensive stadiometer as I don't use it that often anyway. Emtor caveat and all.
