Most likely, but telescopic gages are sensitive to user technique, so start with a known bore. Furthermore, in order to determine the minimum diameter, the gage must be rocked in the bore, resulting in a reach that is shorter than the handle length. Gages with a higher price tag should have a smoother action and be more precise, but /- It is possible to achieve 001.
They are packaged in a light-weight plastic case with a soft side. They must be stored in a location where they cannot be stacked on top of each other.
Yes, they do measure internal diameter (as long as you keep it perfectly parallel).

They're adequate for the price. When you tighten the lock, it appears to retract a small amount. They aren't as precise as the good stuff, but if someone breaks into your shop and steals all of your tools, you won't be too upset. br>br>The truth is that the ends are pitted and uneven; these aren't the smooth polished expensive ones that will allow you to take precise measurements. They're more suited to a backyard mechanic with a cheap set of inaccurate micrometers who isn't concerned with his reputation. br>br>If you're going to use these for work, you might as well close up shop because they're so bad; unless you're a wizard, you'll never be able to get them to work correctly. br>br>The operation is extremely rough and catchy, as if it were filled with sand, with bumpy and pitted ends. I don't have a good camera for close-up shots, but I was able to get a few with my phone. In person, it appears to be a lot worse. The uneven wavy dome shape and flaking metal are not visible in the photo. On the ends, there are pits and flakes.
I hadn't written a review because I didn't have anything to compare it to, but my company recently purchased a high-end Mitutoyo set, and the two feel and operate very similarly. Perhaps there was a change because mine arrived in a red case. Mine aren't perfectly polished, but they're a lot better than some of the pictures show, with no scratches or pitting, and they're very comparable to Mitutoyo. When I compared the two sets, I noticed that when I used the traditional method of tilting the gauge through the bore, both of them would spring out and read large. I got better results by getting the gauge as straight as possible before locking it and sliding it out straight. The plungers don't have to be pushed into the lock anymore. Both sets appear to require technique and feel, so I'll go with the one that's a tenth of the cost.
On one of the ones I needed to measure the inside diameters of my engine bearings, the knob that holds them in place isn't working properly. When you tighten it, it stays tight; however, when you try to measure it with calipers or a micrometer, the bores move inwards, resulting in inaccurate readings. I put it to the test by tightening the knob and then gently squeezing the tool; it moved. br>br>It's a very low-cost design. Neither my time nor my money were worth it. Regrettably, I'm a few minutes past the return window. This is a product that I do not recommend.
They then appear, as expected. They sounded as if they were made of grit and were poking their way through the case's bottom. Regardless, I returned them and placed an order for a new set. This set was of much higher quality, came in a nice plastic case, and had no grinding marks on it. I tried.
There was a twin engine that needed to be rebuilt. They completed the project on time and on budget. If you're looking for a cheap set of bore gauges, these are a good option. I'm pleased with the results and would recommend them.
I'm a 53-year-old gearhead who has rebuilt about a dozen engines over the years. This T-shirt collection appeals to me. The bore, snap gauge set, and micrometers were chosen primarily due to their low cost. When it came to gauging pistons, cylinder bores, and rods, I used Starrett micrometers in the past. Bearings that are important. This set isn't as good as a Starrett's, but it's still quite good in my opinion. I've discovered that Starrett equipment costs four to five times as much, but all I do now is measure pistons, cylinders, and rods. mains for a rough assessment of whether or not I should bore the cyliders 020" in the opposite direction, or turn the crankshaft. I left it to the local machine shop to work their magic, as they do have the super-powerful CNC machines. micrometers, which are crucial to their operation. So, unless you're planning to start a machine shop, why spend a lot of money on top-of-the-line equipment for a preliminary assessment? I've found these mics to be more than adequate. If you're going to measure cylinders, you'll need an inside measurement, so I bought the telescoping, snap, T-handle measuring tool. Also included is a gauge set. They worked perfectly, and both sets were a hit. I also bought a cylinder bore micrometer set, which uses a regular style dial indicator to measure not the actual bore, but the difference in the bore, to see if the cylinder has a taper to it, or if it has a whiskey barrel shape to it, and so on. I found it to be somewhat useful, but the afore-mentioned-mentioned-mentioned-mentioned-mentioned-mentioned-menti Micrometers with a telescoping, snap T-handle were mentioned previously. gauge sets, in order to make them more useful. br>br>This is just my two cents.
Several of them were a little sticky right out of the box. After working them in and out a few times, I didn't have any issues with them hanging up. This tool is used to measure the inside diameters of some cylinder bores and bearings. I was able to replicate the results with reasonable consistency. No complaints at all for the price.
