If you want nothing but the best desirable gauge, then clockwise tools magnetic base is the one you should definitely consider. The magnetic base and arm are steady as supplied. It cannot be adjusted withoutshortening the shaft under the bolt on top. The measuring rod is moved by the spring inside the indicator and the spring force will affect the accuracy. The indicator gives pretty accurate readings within a thousandth or so. The arm locks down tight and does not flex under the force of a normal indicator.
The magnetic holder is easy to adjust and holds the dial in any position. It has a thumb screw that will fine tune the angle on the clamp itself. The base is also excellent.
Why We Like This:

Great base, strong magnet, smooth operation, locks good
Good budget indicator, well packaged in molded hard case

We know from years of feedback from readers, customers and amazon sellers, what most people want in a convenient and appropriate gauge. The clockwise tools dial force gauge is exactly that - it's a simple gauge that hits all the right notes. The Nice blow-mold case (with foam padding) contains all parts very well. The base having a single knob to set it in place makes it easier to set it up once you get it in the shape you need. Once locked, it reliably holds position and doesn't creep or loosen. The base magnet is strong, no problems with it losing position, even when slightly bumped. The magnetic stand is decent and arm locks up well. The case is sturdy with no problems.

Analog force gauges are not as precise as digital force gauges, but they provide instantaneous measurements and can be used in a wider range of environmental conditions than digital force gauges. The Mitutoyo standard dial tension gauge measures the contact force of an instrument and a workpiece and of components such as electrical relays, micro-switches, valves, and precision springs. These are used to test the strength and functionality of a variety of machines, electronic components, cables, wires, and consumer products in scientific, medical, automotive, quality assurance, and manufacturing applications. It has an anti-friction bearing that helps improve measurement accuracy.
This analog gauge shows measurements in newtons ( n ) and can display the present force measured in real time. It has a measurement accuracy of + or. Hooks, compression plates, levers, handles, test stands, and other accessories can be used with the gauge for taking measurements on objects with a range of shapes and sizes.
