DeFelsko PosiTest DFT Combo Paint Thickness Gauge

If you are a professional detailer, the DeFelsko PosiTest DFT Combo Paint Thickness Gauge could be one of the best investments you will ever make. Public liability insurance is expensive and often does not cover the vehicle being worked on. If you regularly machine polish vehicles whose history you cannot be sure about (e.g. does it have any accident repairs, how many times has it been compounded in the past, etc) this thickness gauge will allow you to accurately assess how much paint you have to work with and how much you remove as you work. The electro-magnetic sensor measures paint thickness on all metals, including steel and aluminium, making it ideal for use on high-end vehicles with lightweight aluminium panels. The sensor automatically recognises the base metal and takes corrected readings accurate to within +/- 2 microns (which equates to approximately +/- 2 % of typical paint finishes).

The DeFelsko PosiTest DFT Combo Paint Thickness Gauge features a large, easy to read display and is weatherproof. It is ready for use straight out of the box and powers on automatically when placed on the surface to be measured. Measurements are taken almost instantly (in either microns or mils, chosen with the touch of a button) and there is no need to wait between repeated measurements. The gauge automatically switches off when not used for more than 30 seconds. It comes with a certificate of calibration and the calibration can easily be checked with the thickness shims supplied in the case, or reset completely if necessary. The gauge is supplied with a hard shell storage case, plastic calibration shims, AAA battery, full instructions and a two year warranty. Highly recommended.
