This AB Tools Dial Test Indicator (DTI) is an absolute must-have for any machinist, mechanic, or serious hobbyist. It's a precision tool used to measure tiny amounts of movement or misalignment – think checking for play in bearings, setting up a lathe, or finding Top Dead Centre (TDC) on an engine. The dial has a 0-1 inch range and reads in increments of 0.001 inches (one thousandth of an inch), so it's seriously accurate. The whole thing is metal and feels solid. It comes mounted on a super handy magnetic base stand with a 60kg pull magnet (flip a switch to turn it on/off) that'll stick to any steel surface, like a lathe or milling machine. The arm is fully adjustable so you can position the indicator probe exactly where you need it. It's straightforward to use and way more reliable than guessing. If you're doing any kind of precision engineering, engine building, or metalworking, this tool will save you time and help you get things spot-on.
