Custom hand-held gages bring the measurement to the part. They are a practical choice when a feature is difficult to reach, the part cannot be moved easily, or operators need a fast dedicated check.
Portable variable gaging
Direct feedback at the point of use
A purpose-built hand-held gage can guide the operator to the correct feature and provide a repeatable result without moving the part to a separate inspection station.

Functional and comparative checks
Simple indication for a specialized feature
Flush-pin and comparative designs can turn a difficult depth or location requirement into a quick visual, tactile, or indicated check.
