Digital Electronic Pull Gauge Tester 110LB/500N Force Gauge Push-Pull Meter Tension Compression Pressure Testing Thrust Meter Peak Mode with 6 Kinds of Probe and Extension Rod (110LB 500N)

Granted I just got this and it hasn't really had time to break yet, but first impressions are this thing is awesome! Part of that excitement is simply happy to finally have one. I do a lot of projects where it would be handy to know the force required to open/move something so I can size parts appropriately, install actuators/air cylinders, etc. with proper force, etc. This will do push or pull force with multiple different attachments that simply screw onto the top (my favorite is the hook for pull force). There is an extension for the attachments as well, if you need to get into tight spaces where the body of the gauge will not fit. It will measure in Newtons, Kilograms, Pounds, and Ounces. Change the unit of measurement with a quick press of the "UNIT" button. One of my favorite features is "PEAK". With this feature enabled ("P" is displayed on the top of the screen), the unit will hold the highest measured value on the screen. There is also a "Zero" button, basically like Tare on a general weight scale. There's a lot more settings I won't go into, but overall this is a great dynamometer. Feels solid. Great price and I'm happy with it.

This product gives definitive data in lieu of the old, mechanical spring gauge to measure tension. Makes our test readings easier to perform and doccument

This is a quality strain gauge, push-pull meter. Easy to set up and use. It's a very accurate meter and easy to set the parameters.

It's a good quality force gauge, the peak measurement function works very well for measuring breakaway forces. It is accurate and has all the units you could want. Furthermore it comes with several different thread on adapters that all fit nicely in a solid blow molded case. The backlight means you can read it any time of day, and the screen has big letters with high contrast.

We have a team at work who uses these almost daily, on theirs cost over $1,000 and they won't loan them to you unless you are super nice to them. I only need to take force measurements every once in a while but I don't have a grand to spend and its hard for me to be nice to some people so I picked this up on Amazon for a fraction of the price. I haven't used all the features to attest that everything works perfectly, but guess what...when I take a measurement its exactly the same as their expensive force gauge. It also comes with the most commonly used attachments. I had relatively low expectations of this device, but am very satisfied with it so far.

This was really helpful for my daughters science fair project but I did NOT love the instructions that it came with. It was not as clear as I was hoping to figure out settings. The buttons are also pretty sensitive and if its in the box an dyou press down by accident on the outside of the box it will trigger the buttons and turn it on which makes a constant beeping sound that we could not identify for a while because we didn't realize it turned back on after we put it away. Otherwise seemed relatively accurate, easy for an 8 year old to use once the instructions were figured out.

This is just what I needed for a school science experiment. It worked great for testing breaking strength of different fibers, and the "Peak" setting that displays the highest force is invaluable. I used it for several hours, and the battery is still at about half. It was totally worth it for the price.

Ok I was looking for a dynamometer to measure force application on controllers for consoles/PC and this thing popped up. The price was decent and I figured, what the heck I can try it. So I have access to an industrial tester of controllers and this one. Tested this one against the industrial tester, and it was within a reasonable margin of error (3-5%) which when you are talking grams of force, is not that great of an amount (if you were talking about kilograms, maybe it would be worse). The industrial tester showed 58 grams, this little tester showed 56.9 grams. That's pretty darn accurate. So so far far ... I like it and it will be pushing all my buttons.

Great product. Saved us 100 times its price by helping us settle a quality claim. Thanks and we highly recommend this product.

came with instructions and 2 sets of batteries, All accessories and box are of good quality, Guage works as it should

Very good quality

good

I used this in my classroom to test the strength of bamboo skewer bridges to the fail point. This device performed as it should. I like how it records the peak value and you can switch between different units. Carrying case is good as well. The only thing that I modified was making a larger hook than the one provided in the kit. This works well whether pushing or pulling. It was very accurate and the kids had fun seeing if their bridge was stronger then their classmates bridges.
