Clockwise Tools Dial Indicator, DICR-0105 0-1 inch

The media could not be loaded. This is not bad for an inexpensive dial indicator set. I would deem the mag base and connecting arm system as Excellent, and the gauge seems ok. This is certainly adequate for DIY use and worked fine for the half-dozen times I've used it so far. Also the protective case is nice and fits well in a tool box drawer with other similar items. I would recommend this and/or buy it again

Firstly, as usual, the product arrived fast and in good condition. The plastic case is exactly what you'd expect at the price. It'll keep the unit safe and clean, but it's not ultra strong or particularly good looking.The product looks great, the markings are clear and the dial rotates well, but sticks a little so you don't have to worry about knocking it and having it move during use. There's a spare backpiece in the plastic case with a piece that you can use to bolt the device to things.I've used the device to calibrate my table saw blade to both the table saw and fence. It worked perfectly.I prefer analog measurement devices over digital, as I find I'll only use this kind of thing once or twice a year, and don't want to worry about dead batteries. Would by again without hesitation.

This set is good. I run a kingstone heavy duty 30 and 40 and I only been cutting metal for ab 3-4 month now nothing crazy but ring grooves and all but I was teaching a new guy how to true up a 3 way block (16 x 16 x16) to put ring grove in there and i had step away we on the 3 rd one he put the block In and tighten the jaws down but the jaws didn’t set flat so when he went to jog it to true it up this 500lbs give or take block fell out and hit the indicator and stand ( not the indicator in this set but a 2’ one from my boss ) the base and arms/ body separated after looking at the block and all I looked at the stand some threads was done for but ab half was still in good shape the base still trun off and on and hold good it got some dings and all but still works like new.the body could be made better the one nut lock don’t lock it tight enough to pull the base off of metal but still good. The indicator it self is really nice I wish they had a 2 inch one and different type of tips. But over all really well made great price my bosses was shock that it took a block and still worked. They did good and I would highly recommend this and I will be getting more of this brand in the future

Worked fine for what I needed it to do, but as received, at rest the dial was slightly rotated, not at 12 o'clock as it should be.

I can see why this dial indicator with base is both an Amazon best seller andand receives great reviews, which was the basis for my purchase.The magnetic base is solid and the one knob to lock the articulated armmakes setup fairly easy.I'm also pleased with the indicator itself and I appreciate the included die casesecondary back with mounting tab that allows for additional mounting optionswhen not using the arm.I think that what distinguishes the Clockwise Tools offering the mostis their outstanding customer support.I had an issue, due to my own negligence, while using the indicator.As such, I contacted Clockwise via Amazon on a Saturday afternoon to inquireif they could assist in resolving the problem. I received a reply from Vickwithin an hour. I stress that this was on a Saturday afternoon.A couple of text exchanges later the issue was resolved and by thenext afternoon, Sunday, I received the necessary part.This was within 22 hours of when I first contacted Clockwise!Absolutely the best customer support I've ever received for a productI've purchased on Amazon.

The large knob tightens both ends simultaneously. This makes it more convenient than a separate knob for each. A small knob allows the perpendicular to be fine tuned. A nice feature. Be careful not to mistake this small knob for the other small knob. This knob is not meant to be tighten and could be damaged if overturned. Instructions could be more clear on this. I found the magnet adequate.

Note to readers, do not order this for an aluminum housing. It’s a quality product, but was not helpful for an aluminum housing… this was recommended for my 8.8 IRS, now I know.
