Trend Digital Depth Gauge, 60mm Jaw Opening, Precision Rebate & Groove Setting, GAUGE/D60, Black

This was a good buy and is a great addition to my toolbox. I like the accuracy and digital readout, especially if I want exact measurements. As others have mentioned, the height retaining screw is flimsy and any kind of harsh tightening could see thread stripping of the unit. As it stands, I just nip it up slightly to avoid that happening but it could have been made sturdier. The gauge is by no means robust and as such, needs to be handled with a bit of care, given it's a measuring instrument. I intend to make a small box for mine, to keep it safe and for storage. Overall though, a decent buy and recommended.

A good and versatile depth gauge for DIY use. The lightweight construction may not suit professional use but I have found it accurate and useful on many occasions. The U shape gives a stable base when measuring and small magnets in the feet assist when using on steel. A depth pin is stored on the body and can be used to measure the depth of small holes up to 50mm deep. The gauge can be zeroed at any depth to enable relative depths to be measured. A very useful device.

Well made, handy for measuring bench saw blade height and router table bit.

Lots of uses for checking or setting depth of grooves. . Or drilling depths. A accurate tool. That is so usefull.

Accurate and compact. Ideal for precise measurements.

It is a little flimsy as others have said. I've got used to it and can make it work for me with no difficulty. I'm using it to adjust the fence and bits of a homemade router table and am happy with the accuracy it allows me. My only real gripe is that sometimes the lock screw moves the scale when you tighten it, not very much, and not enough to be a problem for me. I expect this to get worse over time though, as the scale is plastic and the screw is metal, so some wear is bound to affect it sooner or later. I'll certainly look for something better if and when it needs replacing. It's ok but, I expected better from Trend.

Generally this is a great tool, however it only really works where you have plenty of access to the thing you are measuring.I was trying to adjust the height of my table saw blade and couldn't move the fence which was approx. 18mm away from the blade. This didn't give the gauge enough space to straddle the blade and when trying to use the gauge parallel to the blade the small 'lip' on the bottom of the measure kept slipping off the blade.Similarly, I couldn't measure the distance between the blade and the fence as the gauge wouldn't fit between them.I have since bought a different style of Height Gauge for a similar price that will work in a more confined area.

Perfect and accurate good quality and light weight.
