Just thought I would point out that it's on sale for $70. I searched but didn't find anything on it. I'm not in the market right now for a coating gauge but would like to get one down the road. I picked up the same brand of digital caliper (Cen-Tech) last week and have been playing around with it. It seems to be pretty decent for the $9.99 I paid for it.



Anyone have one or used one? Does it look decent? I don't even know what to look for.

I saw that thing to man and I'm really curious myself...
 
Thanks for the link Jason.



I wish I knew someone near with a good gauge. I'd buy one and test it out compared to theirs, if it didn't work good take it back.
