KATSU Tools 401125C Universal Engineer Magnetic Dial Indicator Base Stand Holder 360 80 KGN

i bought this to hold a usb microscope and it dose the job excellently and because it uses a dove tail end i can attach other things like a magnifying glass, wire clamps etc the base is solid with a good magnet the arm is easy to move but locks solidly and it has a nice fine adjust for the clamp. item arrived well packaged and in good condition. happy with my purchase would buy again.

There are lots of very similar gauge holders out there with huge price variations- and you get what you pay for right? Well not always. This holder was as cheap as chips and as solid as a rock. Ok the on/off switch for the magnetic base was a bit graunchy but it works. In fact that’s what you can say about this holder, it does a simple job- and it works well.

A nice little clamp which works well, is stable and is easily adjustable. The quality belies the low price. Would recommend

bargain price and suprisingly well made at this price point and functions perfectly. Some have said magnet base lacks strength compared with high end price units, not had an issue with this at all. Done multiple jobs with this without glitches

this is a really nice little dial holder and is smooth in operation - locks up all three joint balls with the one large central knob. base and back are well machined and well within specs to be used by most machinists. base is good cast iron and the magnet works ok - all in all a great buy!!!

I bought 3 and 2 of them have play in them. I managed to shim them with a can of coke. But one being fine shows quality control issues.

a clone of the noga holders, and much much cheaper.this is ideal for the home / hobby machinist, the arms stay where they are positioned when you tighten the handwheel,the micro adjuster on the end is very useful when lining a test indicator up.i'd buy again with no hessitation

This is a great and versatile Magnetic base for Holding both Standard form Dial gauges and the smaller lever arm finger indicator in a range of applications including, Lathework set ups, Miller set up work and a wide range of inspection table uses. Strong Magnet and nicely moving adjustable arms which can be clamped in a single operation. A quality tool for a great price, I have several of these and leave them set up for regular operations around the toolroom / factory floor.
