Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Seems accurate most of the time. Works well for me if i just need to get even tightness across a serface. Yes, it is somewhat flimsy, but a bent indicator plate or a non-zeroed needle arm can be reformed to work well as long as neither breaks off.

    I have noticed many more expensive models have molded handles which will not produce as accurate results as a pivot design as it is possible to vary the pressure point over the lever bar handle area
