Best Depth Gauge Buying Tips

  1. Measuring range can vary vastly across different models of this type of gauge.  Most are around 6" and this will do for the majority of jobs but they can be anywhere between 3 and 24 inches. Just think what you will be using it for and if you need bigger than 6 inches
  2. The display is an important part of this tool. It should measure in imperial and metric and you may find it handy if it can do imperial increments as fractions.
  3. Accuracy is also very important and i would recommend you get a model that goes to 0.1 of a mm. This will be sufficient for 99% of jobs.

As you have probably noticed, I have only included digital gauges here and that's because they are so cheap now that I cant see why an old fashioned, analogue model should be considered.
