Sturdy and Flexible Holder

This holder offers the perfect balance of rigidity and versatility for accurate dimensions measurement. The triple jointed design ensures easy positioning of the indicator, and the sturdy build ensures it can withstand constant use in an industrial setting. On the downside, it may be a bit expensive for some users. Overall, a great addition to any toolbox in the Industrial and Scientific fields.

Pros
  • Highly adjustable for precise positioning
Cons
  • May require some initial adjustment to fit specific indicators

Cheap third-party product

Nonsense! The 3rd or 4th time I used it, the ball popped out of the joint closest to the thumbscrew. I put it back in but it won't stay on. It comes out as soon as you gently squeeze your hand. Very disappointed. I also thought I'd buy an American made product since I'm a Starrett. MADE IN CHINA!

Pros
  • DIGITAL INDICATOR HOLDER: Magnetic feet are magnetic holders that are commonly used in metalworking to hold dial gauges and are also used in other areas such as optics.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Not what you think

The same Chinese junk but with a fancy red box, the store itself is about a third in size and doesn't look that elegant. I'm a Starrett fan so I preferred this similarly priced leg and it was definitely a mistake. I hate to say it, but you're paying for the name and the fancy box.

Pros
  • HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL POSITIONS: An articulating arm with a heavy-duty central locking knob offers 360 degrees of horizontal positioning and over 180 degrees of vertical positioning.
Cons
  • High price
