This tool makes it easy to measure blade height in the narrow space under the mower deck. One flaw in the item I received was that the base had a slight curl on one corner making it a little difficult to get an accurate reading. I overcame this by using two hands on the tool base. I would still recommend this purchase.

This pivot gauge is made of plastic. It's stout enough to do the job. The pivot arm is held in place by a metal spring snap. If you treat it as what it is, and store it carefully it should last. I have used mine once, and it does make taking measurements much easier. I wish I had gotten one with my mower. Actually for the price of my JD X320 it should have come with it. One thing that I noticed that could make it inaccurate if care isn't taken is, the base is very thin, and not perfectly flat. So it's important to press down on the base at the same spot, each time a measurement is taken. Not a big deal, but it does help to ensure accuracy. I plan to mount it on a 1/8" piece of steel flat stock to eliminate this issue.

Easy to use and takes the guess work out of reading the height above the ground. With a ruler you have to get to where you can see the end of the blade against a ruler under the deck and be laying looking in the dark under the deck. Just place the tip of the blade on the gauge and from outside the deck read the inches above ground. As I get older a love these simple effective tools that save my neck and back.

I struggled for years to get a level mower deck on many different brands of riding mowers/tractors. This is exact in every way. All you need is a level surface to park on and your problems are over. Extremely easy to use.

I love the review questions: [Is it easy to start?] (Yeah, it was hard at first, but got easier as the plastic warmed up.) Sheesh. This thing works very nicely if you don't wanna crawl under your mower and fuss with rulers and eyeballing distances from blade -- grass. I'm too damned old for that nonsense. This works nicely, thank you. quick ship.
