EDIT: Anyone with some experience with this gauge and how it compares to the Highline... Coating Thickness Gages from Phase 2+ & Gaging.com ? |
Ok fellas, I just called and got some good information. Talked to a sales rep who seemed to know what he was talking about and was very informed on the products he was selling and how they stack up with the competition.
Both models can be switched from microns to mils with the press of a button. The newer model only takes one AAA vs four, but the word still isn't out on battery life (of course without a battery sucking backlight, it should be pretty good, and its only 1 friggin battery...). A probe isn't available, and I think between not having the backlight display or a probe is in part of how prices are kept down.
I just ordered mine, and will be doing a local pick-up (they're only 15 minutes away: when i went to call I laughed to see it's the same area code as mine) either today or tomorrow.
