What to know before buying
- The gauge is a manual measuring tool, so reading and interpreting its markings is part of use. Customer feedback reports mixed experiences with readability and accuracy.
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent about materials: the product is described as stainless steel, while another claim says the scale is aluminium alloy. The stated 25 mm metric range alongside a 1-inch maximum is also not an exact conversion, so confirm the scale and markings if precise units matter. The claimed Department of Transport acceptance for MOT testing is not independently confirmed here.
