Lyman 7832248 Electronic Digital Trigger Pull Gauge,Multi

Using it to adjust the triggers at home. Very precise, easy to use. I recommend

Lyman is Lyman. Great product. The accuracy is on point. Light weight in the hand. Nice size. And worth every penny.

Very accurate and easy to use

The best news is it works as advertised. Consistent smooth pull at the same point on the trigger and the results are good enough for me.Disclosure: I am doing product improvement and development for a long time. The review is about the box the gauge is coming with.It looks good: Lyman's orange bottom and transparent top, locks are recessed and hinges protected with small shields.Logo would be better printed horizontally, but that doesn't affect anything.Now, open the box. The transparent top doesn't open fully sticking up. Push it down and bottom half is tilted. Push on the meter in the box - box slides and clear plastic top "jumps up". My guess would be that the designer (or his boss) wanted to lower the hinges bellow the split line so they don't stick up or reduce the production cost.Fix for this small problem. For Lyman - if you lowered the hinges from the split line, you have to make upper half lower compare to bottom half by twice as much. I know, easy at design, but now it will be a new or modified mold.Cheap fix - attach small felt pads (1/4" thick) in each corner on the bottom of the orange half.The second issue. Well, the gauge has to be taking to another place sometimes. Caring it face up isn't always practical, so it is tempting to put the box with the gauge on the side (and in the bag with other stuff). Well, don't be surprise discovering that it is on and probably was on the most of the trip. The problem is that although the gauge has foam padding on the bottom and on the sides, nothing prevents it from leaning against the top half. Not a problem yet. Well, whoever designed the gauge paid particular attention to ergonomics and did a good job. The orange buttons are fairly big and easy to find, but as they are not recessed the gauge can touch the cover with the buttons (when box on its side) turning the device on.Fix - use two self-adhesive elastic transparent bumper pads 1/8" thick. Attache them to the top half of the box from inside so they are against the face of the gauge to the left and to the right of the screen (there are enough room). You can add third bumper against the lower part of the handle,(this can be a bit thicker).Well, killed twenty minutes of my time - hope, someone find it useful. Thanks.

I use this tool on all of my guns and it works very well. It does have some down sides. If you pull past the trigger you'll get a false reading so you have to be very touchy with it. This with an old school tool would be the perfect combo.

Well made nearly all plastic gauge with an LCD display. Easy to read and easy to use after you become familiar with the operation. Comes in a decent plastic case with instructions. The arm that has the trigger contact pad is made from steel to keep the readings consistent. Has a average feature that averages multiple tests to give you more accurate measurement. Price is reasonable compared to most of the manual spring type gauges. Yes it's more expensive but if you want accurate easy read and easy to use pull gauge this is a good one.

If you need really accurate measurements of your trigger pull weight this is the gauge to get. I have used one of the analog pull gauge for years and while they gave me fairly accurate readings they not as valuable as this one when you are making small improvements to various trigger components and attempting to verify the work you are doing is in fact making the trigger pull better. I have also noticed that where my older analog pull gauge would often appear to land on a particular weight, it was often reading slightly heavier than actual (or maybe I just read it that way). This gauge gives a very large and clear reading (i.e. "4 lbs 1.4oz"). It is incredibly useful when testing different brands of springs and how they are rated versus how they actually perform in a particular firearm. For example, I have two springs from different companies which are allegedly 6lb striker springs. They look and feel almost identical and my old analog gauge read the resulting trigger pull as being the same. With the Lyman gauge, I can measure a difference in trigger pull of 2oz when testing one spring against the other in the same pistol. That may not sound like much but when you are trying to get the very best trigger pull, every little bit counts.It does require a 9 volt battery which is not included so have one of those on hand when it shows up (to avoid the temptation of swiping one out of a smoke detector). If anything, the 9v battery is my only complaint. AA or AAA would have been much more convenient.
