It says all it needs to.
I'm from an engineering background using this type of product all the time and this one is as good as the more recognised names. I'm now a part time cycle refurbisher so this dial gauge will get a lot of use. The dial gauge itself is very smooth running and the magnet strong enough not to move. If you have a use for one this won't disappoint.Read full review

cheap dti
magnetic base is ok, small dial does not zero .said they would get back to me , never have.
iv since purchased a decent one,, thing is the decent one does zero on the small dial, did I say mag base is ok, well mag base is ok,
come to think of it mag base is ok.
if you want one get one that does what it is supposed to do.Read full review

Accurate. Inexpensive.
At this price, for a piece of equipment not used often.
It was amazing. Set up firmly it appears to be very accurate.
Used to check "run out" on new and used brake discs.
At this price I would recommend to car enthusiasts ( brakes, hubs,
drive shafts, anything that revolves.
Should have got one year's ago, but they were expensive for infrequent use.. Not now.!,Read full review

Great for the job. Solid enough.
For the DIY guy at home this is perfect. I bought it to check the runout on my bike brake disks and it's perfect for that. Probably loads of other uses but even if I only use it for the brake disks, it's still great value. Certainly up to the job.Read full review

Useful device
This is not a device you you would expect to find in Rolls-Royce final inspection dept - however it is perfectly adequate for simple setups in the field or home workshop - we used it (successfully) to true up an astronomical camera on its telescope.Read full review

Cheapest I could find
DTI is quite light weight but it works. Time will tell how long it lasts. For the price great value and excellent service

Dial indicator and stand
1/ Magnetic stand - This is a simply constructed magnetic base stand with round bar supports for the dial gauge. It is an engineering tool, reasonably robust and appears to be well made and sufficiently rigid to provide a good stable platform for accurate measurement stability.
2/The dial gauge is a simple, smooth action, gear driven dial indicator providing a working range of around 10mm. The one provided actually gave a total range of slightly in excess of 12 mm. resetting the dial is easy, and the small internal dial returned to zero without any problems.
The two items together resulted in a very useful precision too, simple to use. Remember ,however, this relies on the ability for the magnet to be securely attached to a solid magnetic base of some thickness to give a secure fitting.Read full review

Brilliant thanks
I have used dial test indicators since my school days and in engineering both imperial and metric as the one I have purchased, and it is easy to use and quality products that includes the magnetic stand.Read full review

Inexpensively met my expectations
Surprisingly good at the price. A bit fiddly to set up, but consistent readings. Had to make up an offset tip but that wasn't difficult.

Great.
I was not expecting too much since the DTI wasn't terribly expensive but its really very good. The face is quite large which I think is great. It also has a magnetic base which works well. It is very accurate and I am very pleased that I bought it.
All good.Read full review
