Strong magnet, good quality.

I had to modify it slightly to fit my existing dial gauge. It wasn't difficult to do. I've always needed a mount and have had a dial indicator for years, but there was no way to make it stable. This was a good buy for me. It arrived quickly and was as advertised.

Pros
  • Turn Signals and Accessories
Cons
  • Flamboyant

Don't waste your money on it.

The main arm was detached from the base as received. I tried putting it back in several times but it didn't stay connected when the knob was tightened. Looks like the locking ring on the main arm isn't big enough to secure it in the base's swivel ring. Low quality. You get what you pay for. Wouldn't recommend it.

Pros
  • Check, measure and check
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Does it work for anything other than round gauges?

I love how customizable and flexible this is. However, I was hoping to use it for more than just a "dial holder". The hand clip seems utterly useless as a possible clip for holding ordinary objects. I figured it could be used as a flexible approach to holding a PCB for soldering and electronics repair. Apparently nobody has tried using it this way but me, so you can't buy a tool that fits into the dial clamp on the handle. (Like the clip with alligators, for example). At least none that I could

Pros
  • Industrial & Scientific
Cons
  • Some bugs
