Professional Grade Thickness Gage
This is one of the handiest gadgets. The spring-loaded arms allow you to quickly and accurately gauge material thickness up to 1-1/16". The compact size (the body is less than 2" across) neatly fits in an apron pocket so it's always at hand, and it's faster to operate that a set of calipers. Spring-loaded arms connect to a metal chassis with a plastic upper housing. Measures in decimal inch to 0.001", fractions to 1/64", and millimeters to 0.02mm.
Features:
- Super hard CARBIDE tips.
- Range: 0 - 1-1/16"
- Displays INCH / METRIC / FRACTIONS
- Accuracy: 0.001" / 0.02mm / fractions to 1/64"

It seems to be accurate and has a nice quality housing.

Make sure you remove the battery if you don't use it often, it drains while sitting inactive

I have a point micrometer but micrometers have a small frame. This thickness gauge has longer arms so I can measure the thickness where I cannot use the micrometer. Like the point micrometer, you need to wobble this thickness gauge slightly to get the smallest thickness.

Can't believe I waited so long before buying something like this. I regularly work with a laser cutter and had clumsily measured material thickness with calipers. This instrument measures thickness so much faster. It allows me to reach in away from the very edge which is particularly useful when checking rubber thickness which can vary. It is nice to be able to slide pieces of material from a stack out slightly and measure with great accuracy without having to pull them out completely just to measure their thickness.This instrument feels like quality metal (not cheap plastic) in your hand, but at the same time feels like it would not handle being dropped even a short distance. While measuring, you do have wiggle it around a bit to orient it to get the correct (lowest) reading. When you position the opposing finger bumps for best measurement, the angle of the material is not aligned with the case or arms or anything else I can see. That aside, it is quite easy and fast to get a reading within +/- 0.1mm (.004") once you get the angle stuff figured out. If you take more time, repeatable readings down to +/- 0.01mm (10um, .0005") are possible.The hardened finger bumps are replaceable - I don't know where to get replacements. They are also polished very smooth so it is possible to slide along a piece e.g. of rubber to locate thick and thin regions. I'm guessing you wouldn't want slide the finger bumps along the surface of clear or shiny material because the finger bump's hardness could mar the surface.

This instrument does what it's supposed to and provides a speedy and accurate means of measuring thickness. It was well worth the cost. My only gripe is it's not easy to hold when making repetitive measurements to help with this I placed a cell phone collapsible holder to the back plate making it a lot easier to hold and to zero.

iGaging stuff is fantastic for rookie or part time requirements. This is my second product from them. Truly a great product for the value. No its not a top end machinist grade Mitutoyo and as I don't own anything like that to compare this to its tough to say Not sure on how accurate or repeatable it is, but I have been impressed in the past and seem to be doing quite well with it so far for my needs just measuring the thickness of materials at different points.

Returned it and got a vernier caliper. This thing was very very inaccurate and completely useless for measuring shim stacks when building axles. I still got an "i gauging" product though as they are usually good and come with cases to protect the tools. Normal digital caliper works great and comes with a case. This one is horrible though. Not sure what you would measure with it you can't with another tool easier.

This appears to be accurate enough for my cabinet shop. My issue is it is difficult to use. I am right-handed. I find no other way to hold and operate this unit other than using my thumb on the lower, straight arm and depressing the curved, upper arm with my forefinger. A little awkward at best, and fatiguing after using a few dozen (or more) times in an afternoon. I believe some sort of handle or handles on the side opposite the measuring arms would make this much better. Another annoyance was the installed battery was dead, fortunately, a spare was included in the package.
