I was impressed with the quality of this produce. I would recommend this. Every thing is heavy duty. Good magnet power.
Like others I find the indicator highly useful. But it looks like I'll be out shipping one way, and I had to spend 30 minutes on the phone with customer service---a call I paid for.Buy the tool, but when tightening the knobs, be very, very gentle. The mountis not quite as easy to use as I might like, but it's adequate.The main thing I didn't realize is that the mounting hardware is very delicate---like another reviewer, I broke mine just by trying to tighten the indicator mount.Grizzly customer service was just OK: both the part and the larger assembly were back ordered, so they charged me for another whole unit and will refund me when I return the broken unit.
I checked accuracy against thickness gages (leaf-type, for setting clearances) at.002,.005,.010, and.020, and it was quite good. This "last word" indicator is an old-fashion mechanical unit. It works fairly well. The plastic case is reasonably sturdy. I would not select it for everyday use in a busy shop, but for my home shop where it will see only mild use it is OK.
One of the clamps broke after pretty minimal use. Replacement clamp has worked fine. Contacted Griz and they got it corrected immediately, prompt and courteous customer service.
I will be looking to Grizzly again for more hand tools. This unit was an unexpected suprise. I needed an inexpensive dial indicator for automotive use occasionally at home, and ordered this one. Thank you.Bob It is accurate, well built, and far exceeded my expectations for this price.
