Thickness gauges are digital or LCD tools used for taking thickness measurements on parts, materials or coatings in a range of situations. Typically used in engineering, thickness gauges either use a mechanical jaw that is closed and reset to zero, then opened to fit around the material or part and then a readout is given of the measurement reading. Our range of thickness gauges are of the highest quality and sourced from leading brands such as; CHY Firemate, Laserliner, Mitutoyo, Sauter and RS PRO.
