This tool is light and compact. That was my main concern. Some inspection tools have writing that is very difficult to read even with glasses. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A step up from cheaper V-Wac gauge. *by on Reviewed in the United States October 17, 2020* I got a V-Wac for work, but it read in metric and was not of great quality, so I never used it. I got this gauge and it's my go-to for measuring undercut. The pin is adjustable so you can have the point tight or loose and measures to the 64th and has holes for porosity measurement. Get this if you are an inspector and want a reliable tool for years. ## Frequently Bought Together - G.A.L. Gage Co. - V-Wac Gauge (tolerance 1/64") GAL-5 - G.A.L.
