Super easy to mount. I do believe my husband swapped out the mounting screws for longer ones so they sank into the studs a bit better. But the perfect size for two very active toddlers

Spring mechanism is clunky sticks when sliding in and out. Applied generous amount of 20w oil when received to help with this. Once locked seems to be fairly accurate and repeatable (checked with micrometer and bore dial indicator). Fine for my one time use engine rebuild.

I've had these for a few months and for the price the are great. I hadn't reviewed because I had nothing to compare to, however my work just bought an expensive set of Mitutoyo and the two feel and operated very similarly. Mine were delivered in a red case so maybe there was a change. Mine are not perfectly polished but are much better than some of the pictures show without any signs of scratches or pitting and are very comparable to the Mitutoyo. I noticed when comparing both sets that both would spring out and read large using the traditional method of tilting the gauge through the bore. I had better results with both getting the gauge as straight as possible before locking and sliding straight out. This alleviates the need of the plungers to be pushed in against the lock. Technique and feel seem to be required for both sets, so I'll take the one that is 1/10 the price.

Got these for my husband. They work pretty well in that the spring action is good and they lock down very well. He's pretty happy with them and I'm glad that these work as a nice inexpensive gift for him.

Purchased this set to check the cylinder bores on a v-twin engine that needed rebuilding. They got the job done and didn't break the bank. If your looking for an inexpensive set of bore gauges these are a good choice for the diy, I am happy with the results and would recommend them.

So these are not top of the line, but most people aren't using these as professional machinists.These work. Most bore gauges are of the exact same quality whether they are labeled by a big brand tool supplier or not. That being the case, get these.If you are a professional machinist, save up and get the $300 American made set.

I had to check a bore on a engine I tore down. I used it to determine the bore size. It is easy to use and decent quality for my purposes (DIY). Then I took a caliper to measure the width of the gauge. I used a HF digital caliper. The block is at the machinist now and we'll see if the caliper read the gauge correctly.

I am an old time gear head kind of guy (53 years old), and have rebuilt about a dozen engines over the years. I like this set of T-bore, snap gauge set, along with the micrometers, mostly because of their affordability. In the past, I have had access to Starrett micrometers when gauging pistons, cylinder bores, and rod & main bearings. This set is of a lower quality than that of a Starrett, but I found it to still be quite good. I have found that you are going to pay four to five times for Starrett equipment, but all I really do now, is measure pistons, cylinders, rods & mains for a rough assessment, to determine if I am going to bore the cyliders .020" over, or turn the crankshaft .010" under, etc. I let the local machine shop perform their magic, where they do have the super-duper micrometers, that are critical for their operation. So unless you are going into the machine shop business, why spend the high bucks for superior equipment, for just an initial assessment. I have found these mic's to be plenty satisfactory. If you are going to measure cylinders, you obviously would need an inside measurement, so I bought the telescoping, snap, T-gauge set also. They worked just fine, very pleased with both sets. I also bought the cylinder bore micrometer set, that uses a regular style dial indicator, where you are measuring not so much the actual bore, but rather difference in the bore, to see if the cylinder has a taper to it, or has a whiskey barrel shape to the cylinder, etc. I found it be somewhat useful, but the afore-mentioned micrometers with a telescoping, snap T-gauge sets,to be more useful.Just my two cents worth ......
