TorbalFB10k Digital Force Gauge, 2,000lbf x 0.5lbf, Tension and Compression, Built-in microSD, USB, RS232, Peak and Multi Peak Detection

For the Price, this thing can't be beat.The Refresh rate is a little slower than prefered, but it has still proven to be very repeatable and extremely useful to me.

Very accurate for calibrations. Easy to use and zero tare prior to taking readings.

Easy to use. Repeatable & reliable!

My supervisor bought the 200lbf version for our shop. We had to wait about two weeks for it to come in because we wanted the NIST certificate, but it was worth the wait, it works great. It seems to be very repeatable and very easy to use. Our techs like the ability to save measurements to the SD card – very convenient. We'll probably get another one as a backup. Good force gauge.

Manufacture obviously cuts corners on materials/construction. The overall quality doesn't feel like it was built with long term durability/accuracy in mind. Confusing user interface and non-responsive customer support, definitely wouldn't recommend for professional use.
