I know I should buy one of these, but with such difference between the models, I'm hesitant to buy the wrong one. Thank you for the video!

[@404notfound.....]

Trust me, ya don't buy it!!!

[@abrahammc2125]

@@404notfound..... What do you mean?

[@johnparkerzabala]

Very much thanks

[@404notfound.....]

I bought the exact same unit off of Amazon. within one year the probe stopped taking any readings. I would never buy another one.

[@whitegoodman7465]

Im gonna buy one, check my paint and return it 🤣

A year isn’t exactly bad for a $50 gauge, considering some of them cost hundreds and will also inevitably break.

[@A4Eaton]

$50 for a year I think is not a bad deal lol

[@Combat556]

Thanks for the info; just bought this yesterday from Amazon for $54. As a DIY guy, hard to justify buying one of the high end pro brands for $600+. Just for fun, it would be helpful if you could pickup a used hood or body panel, color sand an area, and then measure the clear coat thickness. Burning through a clear coat is every detailers nightmare.

Is it useful to measure for wall paint thickness

[@jaytruth3362]

Any suggestions for gauge that measures on fiberglass?

[@basketball798]

Calibration is confusing. You should have showed how to calibrate that would be nice

[@markcase913]

Use your brain

[@donschultz7759]

💯 agreed

[@mohamedchikhaoui2463]

it seems to be throwing measurement values all over the place

[@DetailProjects]

That’s because the vehicle has PPF on the front end

[@404notfound.....]

This proves how inaccurate it is. It measured 6 mil on the hood you moved it. One inch an it measured twelve mil. There's no way lol

[@erictaylor5577]

Unless vehicle is loaded with bondo puddles

[@DetailProjects]

It’s actually the PPF that caused the jump to 12 mil. It’s a pretty reliable unit!

Mja ya divse chayea

[@weishen5938]

No need calibrate wth???
