Principle of Measurement:
The coating thickness gauge work either on the magnetic induction principle or on the eddy current principle, depending on the type of probe used. This gauge have internal F probe and N probe.
- F probe work on magnetic induction principle and should be used for non-magnetic coatings such as alu-minium, chrome, copper, zinc, paint and varnish,enamel, rubber etc., on an iron or steel substrate; It is also suitable for alloyed and hardened magnetic steel(however, not suitable for austenic steel).
- N Probe work on the eddy current principle and should be used for insulating coatings e.g. paint, anodizing, ceramics, etc., on all non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper, zinc die casting, brass etc. and on austenitic stainless steels.
Data Store: 4 groups, total 320 measurements, max 80 readings will be stored for each group. If over 80 readings, please delete the group, or it will not store the new measurements.
USB Data Transmission: Connect it to PC, then you can download, analyze and store the measured readings. Software compatible with Windows SVR 2000/2003/2008 and Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10(32&64 Bits)

There is some fluctuation in the results and even when calibrating but when you consider that top end thickness gauges go for $700 I can’t complain. I use this to get an overall idea of how thick automotive coatings are before I do paint correction. It fits the bill and I have had no major issues with it.
I use these in auto inspections for paint mills and body filler thickness and I have put it up against higher costing digital mill gauges see readings 1 plus – 1 minus when comparing. Works for me for what I need it for.
Preis Leistung vllig in Ordnung.
Fr den privaten Gebrauch mehr als ausreichend.
Kann ich nur empfehlen.
Accurate, repeatable results, calibrated right out of the box! Simply put in the included batteries, turn it on and you’re ready to measure. Perfectly “zeroed” from factory, automatically recognizes ferrous and aluminum substrate, and gives readings that are within specs with all test strips.
Originally purchased (and then returned) a different (cheaper) model that was either junk or a dud, and I wasted a good few hours trying to get it calibrated and zeroed to no avail. I figured I’d give this one a try and WOW, nothing to do, everything works as it should right from the get-go! Comes in a nice foam-lined hard case and includes batteries. Very happy with this purchase!
This gauge really helps, my fianc and i do auto detailing, needed this for sure because certain cars are known to have thinner clear coats. The mean helped us to see if a Tesla we have now scheduled is safe for a paint correction without compromising the clear and paint work. There should definitely be a video on how to properly calibrate it though because it was a bit difficult at first.
bought your paint gauge from Amazon.I am problem with your item.t measuring is mixed.How can i understand which part is painted? What is the minimum and maximum value of painted and unpainted parts?Have you any Turkish user manual?
Because I am car seller in Turkey.I don’t understand which part is painted or unpainted.Could you help me?
Thanks
quite a bit to read but looks complicated but when you have to use it it all makes sense
This helps me to measure the thickness well. The result is the same as my Pre-purchase Inspection!
Fr den Preis ein geniales Produkt. Die Kalibrierung muss fter durchgefhrt werden aber die Messungen sind ausreichend…
Its cheap and can be over complicated, readings are all over the place unless its placed perfectly on panel everytime, like that fact you can go from steel to aluminum panels and it does get the job done
Schichtdickenmessung bis 2mm funktioniert tatschlich sehr gut. Besonders bei Oldtimern reichen oft die blichen 1 bis 1,2 mm nicht aus. Sauber verpackt, die Kalibrierung ist etwas umstndlich aber auch nicht wirklich notwendig (die Grundeinstellung gengt in den meisten Fllen vllig).
Was told that this unit is better and more accurate than others. After calibration it was straight forward. Very well build and easy to use. Very easy to identify repainted body panels thanks to this. This price is insanely cheap, I was told by other workers that this was in the mid-200’s when they purchased theirs.
Good quality, simple to use and easy carrying with nice case m.
Great device for checking coating thickness. Easy ti calibrate and use with repeatable reaults.
Bought to check car paint thickness prior to paint correction. In theory: Turn on, calibrate, press to car paintwork and measurement given.
Opening the box – it comes in a great little hard case. Practical to keep it safe. Also came with batteries.
I liked the feature of being able to take multiple measurements and work out an average automatically. Variations over a car panel are normal, so this could remove the need for mental averaging. However, I didn’t find this useful as I thought it would be.
In use, the unit was not as ergonomical as I would have liked with regard to grip. Using it to take measurements of vertical surfaces (doors, wings) and I felt this unit a little sloppy in the hand. That was with clean and dry hands.
These units should be calibrated every day. The sensitive electronic components change performance based on temperature and humidity, so if you need accuracy – calibrate! It comes with a neat set of different calibration sheets and 2 different substrate blanks (aluminium and ferrous/iron).
But this is where I found this unit had a weakness – it’s accuracy was different depending on iron vs ferrous substrates. I could only calibrate it to one substrate accurately at a time. It would not be accurate for both at the same time. Eg if I calibrated the 250um test plaque on the iron blank to 250um+/-2um, this would give +/-12um on the alu blank. Returning it to +/-2 for the Alu, would give +/-11um on the iron blank. A little inconsistent. Typically i wouldn’t be using it to check Alu and steel coatings on the same day, but it will mean changing the calibration substrate blank IF I remembered to!
In the end, I kept another unit I purchased on amazon and it was because the other unit was easier to hold in my hand (made it quicker to do my job) and was more consistent in calibration.
The only negative I’ve experienced is that maybe one in 20 measurements is bad (reads way thick). I’m guessing that this is just because I didn’t touch the panel quickly enough, or I had it at an angle, or some such user error. It’s really not a big deal, though. You can take a dozen measurements in seconds, so you know instantly when you get a bad reading. If the thickness is way higher than the last measurement, you instinctively just re-do the measurement.
I just got it, so I can’t say anything about durability yet, but it has a warranty, so I’m not overly concerned about that.
used the product a few times seems to do exactly what its ment for display is nice magnetic is nice still getting used to settings and controls good bang for your buck
The Eray gauge seems to work well and is very consistent with its readings. I didn’t even need to set it up ? I just tested it on the samples provided and after a few clicks it was reading the different thicknesses pretty accurately and giving consistent readings always. Tried it on the car and it showed that a panel I new was painted had a thicker layer of paint. It also proved that my boot, roof and bonnet were original and not painted. I will use this tool whenever I go to buy a car so that I can check what I am buying !!
Great product I looked it up on YouTube do I got instructions I have used it very good accuracy
TOOK AWHILE TO CALIBRATE, BUT THEN IT JUST WORKS ON STARTUP.
I bought it while i was looking at buying a used car and it helped a lot. It found a couple of problem spots on a couple of cars and pissed off the salesman…lol
Very easy to use and was already calibrated which I checked before use. Instructions could be a bit clearer with layman terms but I managed i
Got it for paint correction to not burn through the paint. Not sure how accurate it measures the actual paint thickness but checking the same spot 5 times its varies very little.
Husband purchased 2 of these for work. Says they work real well.
Worked great when buying a used car for my mom. These doesn’t lie like the sales man.
I use this little thing often around the shop to gauge paint thickness and check for body filler.
So it needed a new one and so far I used it on 5 cars and it works great!. Simple, cheap, constructed rather well.
What I like about it, and is important to be, is no resting. Just move about the car checking as many points to evaluate the paint thickness quickly and easily.
It already paid for itself 10 fold helping me negotiate a sweet deal on a used car.
No dispone el manual en castellano en el CD o papel.
I would note that the measurements do have some variability. This is unavoidable at any price outside of a laboratory environment. I found the variability to be within reason. I feel comfortable using this meter to judge, for example, whether or not OEM clear coat remains, or whether or not a panel has been painted over.
Recommended.
pretty color? 🙂 I am using it to inspect used cars.
This unit is easily calibrated and acurite. If you are detailing or color sanding cars and truck, this is a necessity to own.
Very fast and accurate. Even works on aluminum. Takes a regular size AAA battery which is a plus.
Best value compared to what I have paid for other brands.
High quality tool that provides excellent data for car inspection.
Das Messgert kommt vollstndig mit allen notwendigen Kalibriermitteln. Nach vielfachem Nutzen kann gesagt werden, dass die Kalibrierung auch ber Wochen hlt, es musste nicht nachkalibriert werden. Auch mehrmaliges Aufsetzen auf ein und die selbe Stelle zeigt eine nur minimale Drift, die im Bereich von Messtoleranzen liegt. Das Gert ist handlich, schnell und genau.
I actually don’t use it to check the thickness of paint, I use it for is finding Bondo. It works great.
Gut ablesbar, einfach zu handhaben, misst genau enthlt etliche Messscheiben fr unterschiedliche Schichtdicken und fr die Kalibrierung.
Misst innerhalb des Toleranzbereiches genau und auch reproduzierbar.
Sehr hilfreich zum verifizieren von Lackierarbeiten (ist genug Basislack und Klarlack aufgetragen worden) und zum sicheren Polieren an Lacken (wie viel Klarlackschicht wurde bereits abgetragen).
Zum Aufdecken von Nachlackierungen oder gar Spachtelauftrag braucht es nicht die Genauigkeit, da bewegt man sich ganz schnell bei 50, 100 oder gar >300 Mikrometer. Aber in dem Preissegment lohnt es sich gar nicht erst was gnstigeres zu suchen…
Works well, easy to use and results appear consistent and accurate enough for my usage. Product looks to be well made and packaged
Was incredibly helpful with my recent hunt for a used car. Reliable and worked on both steel and aluminum body vehicles. Highly recommend!
Als ich dieses Angebot fand, war ich eher skeptisch. Wir legten zusammen und bestellten das Gert, welches schnell geliefert wurde und waren positiv berrascht. Beim Auspacken war als erstes erfreulich, dass eine deutsche Bedienungsanleitung beigelegt wurde.
Diese ist sehr umfangreich und gut verstndlich geschrieben. Es empfiehlt sich auch, sich in diese als erstes etwas einzulesen.
Das dauerte aber nicht lang. Ansonsten in das berraschend kleine Gert einfach in der Handhabung.
Geliefert wurde es in einem kleinem Kfferchen, in welchem alles wichtige Platz findet, wie die mitgelieferten Utensilien wie Aluminiumsubstrat, Standard Folie, Usb Kabel und 2 AAA Batterien. Das Gert ist leicht zu kalibrieren und besitzt ein gut ablesbares Display mit allen wichtigen Daten. Eine Hintergrundbeleuchtung ist ebenfalls mglich, fr den Gebrauch in dunkler Umgebung. Verschiedene Einstellungen wie Messmodus, Gruppenmodus, Speichern von Messdaten, Einstellen von Limits u.v.m. sind mglich.
Nach unseren Tests, werden genaue Messergebnisse damit ermittelt. Ein Spitzen Teil fr diesen Preis, gut muss nicht immer teuer sein.
La primera vez que test el aparato tena un descalibrado en superficies ferromagnticas de unas -8 a -10 micras en calibracin de Zero absoluto. Nada que no arreglase hacer una calibracin pertinente.
Luego de la misma, los resultados de medicin son muy buenos y ajustados, la varianza que indica de +-5% si lo haces pausadamente y configurado para lecturas lentas, es muy fiel a la realidad y consistente en las medidas. recomendado por el precio.
El equipo funciona bien, con buena exactitud. La nica pega cuando pasa de 1000 micras que ya redondea a 10 micras.
L’apparecchio fa egregiamente il proprio dovere. L’utilizzo molto semplice, bisogna solo stare molto attenti a tenerlo perpendicolare alla superficie. Ha anche una procedura di taratura basata su dei film pre-tarati da appoggiare su una piastrina ferromagnetica o su una non ferromagnetica (entrambe fornite).
Sicuramente non professionale ma per fare semplici verifiche di spessori va benissimo. Ottimo il rapporto qualit prezzo.
I bought this device to be used by a third party. Since I did not receive any ‘complaints’, I can only surmise the device operated as expected. It’d seem this brand is quite reliable.
Excelent produit pour mesurer le revetement de peinture de votre auto, trs facile a prendre en main, et fonctionne trs bien !
Ottimo misuratore per quello che costa. Difetti: le istruzioni sono solo in inglese, non si trova il sito internet dell’azienda. Le misurazioni in piano di componenti metallici verniciati sono precise, su superfici curve il misuratore inaffidabile.
This is a very nice tool for the type work I do.. Thank you..
