Wintact Digital Paint Coating Thickness Gauge Meter 0~1500um, 1500 Readings Storage, 360°Screen Rotation, Backlit Color Display, Chargeable, Auto-Off, Rechargeable for Cars, Industrial

I do inspections of coatings for a third party that is very concerned about DFT. The only problem I have is not being able to buy replacement standards.

I'm quite happy with the purchase of this paint thickness gauge! I've already put it to the test against my more expensive Delfesko DFT paint thickness gauge and it seems to excel with the accuracy of the paint thickness readings!

GREAT DISPLAY, EASY TO SET UP IF YOU HAVE A BRAIN, WORKS VERY WELL. IT IS MY SECOND ONE AS THE FIRST ONE HAD A DEFECTIVE SENSOR PROBE.

Este producto salió defectuoso. solo lo he utilizado una vez y ya no funciona; lo puse a cargar durante 3 horas y lo fue a prender y comenzó a pitar y ahora no prende.

This is a pretty nice gauge, but is a bit more expensive than a lot of the competition on amazon. For the extra price, you get a nicer interface, data logging, hard case, and test plates. This unit might be more accurate than the cheaper ones but I’m not sure, I’ve not tested any of the cheaper ones.This unit reads within about 1% of the listed values on the test plates, which is good enough for me. I used some high quality calipers to check the thickness of the test plates, and they seemed accurate. Note that my calipers only read down to hundredths of a mm, so that’s the limit of what I could test for accuracy.This unit does feel relatively light and made of cheap materials, so I’m not sure how long it will last in a rough environment. If you are careful with it I think it should be fine.I like the data logging utility, although the user interface can be a bit clumsy to navigate around. On the plus side it pops right into the measurement screen as soon as it turns on, so you don’t have to sift through menus just to measure something.This came with older style NiMH batteries and not LiIon, but that’s ok. They are standard AAA size so easily replaced if needed.I have mixed feelings about the hard case. It does feel pretty sturdy and protective when it’s closed, but the lips on the sidewalls don’t line up perfectly so it can be a bit difficult to open and close. Additionally, the hinge and latches are both plastic, so they will fail and snap after repeated use. I would have rather seen hinge pins here. This case seems like it would be very frustrating to use frequently, but is ok for longer term storage or transport.
