HFS(R) 0-2" Precision Travel Dial Indicator .001 Lathe; 2" Measuring Range; 0.001" Graduation Interval

It seems like with advancements in technology over the years, countries that might have exported junk indicators in the past are able to produce a quality product these days for the same cost. It isn’t surprisingly smooth, but it is smooth, the needle returns solidly to the same place it left from as expected, and the face is easy to read. My other gauges are Mitutoyo and Starrett, the Starrett being a $400 3” travel indicator, and the dial face on this indicator is a more properly fit piece and smoother in action than the Starrett. I haven’t tested whether it can take a shock or not, nor will I. My Mitutoyo lost a few teeth off of one of its gears when accidentally shocked once, so as far as I’m concerned it doesn’t matter how much you spend, you still have to be careful and treat any indicator like the sophisticated technology is really is. I would buy this indicator again.

Works great I've purchased 2 already

This dial indicator was built to a price point. It will never be a Starrett but it also doesn't cost more than $300 either! It appears to be accurate and consistently returns to zero. My one minor complaint is that the return spring pressure isn't linear. I found that the increasing pressure challenged my magnetic holder.

For the price this is a great dial indicator, 15 minutes after I got it, I put it into service. Checking the trueness of my vertical mill vice, see picture. After that checking the chuck on my lathe. I can recommend this dial indicator.

He estado usando este indicador todos los días y hace el trabajo que necesito. Básicamente lo uso para verificar medidas de punto a punto.. a veces lo uso para indicarse, circunferencias y también hace el trabajo bien. Estoy contento con el indicador por el precio.

Seems to be a decent DI but this is not what was pictured. It shows the small hand to be a full sweep and what I got is not.

Excellent for the price! Does the job well. Smooth accurate and repeatable.

I really like this gauge. It works well, easy to read & the long plunger allows you to reach place the standard dial indicator won't. I definitely feel it's a good value for your money.

Good product. Worth a little bit of money you pay for it would recommend it.
