I'll do a search as well... but can someone post a 'bargain' link to the DFT combo PTG? Thanks!

I am seriously considering this one. Hoping someone writes a review on it first.

I have the Highline PTG, and let SuperBee mess with it for a weekend. We both think its a very nice PTG for the price, kicks butt over slightly more expensive PTG.

For me I wanted to have a guage that measures both Fe and non Fe, Microns and Mils, and good resolution, good accuracy. The highline gives all this.

When I was looking, you can find cheaper models but the accuracy is like only every Mill, rathat than .1mil or .001microns. Why own a guage that you can notice subtle differences to paint thickness.

As pointed out already the Highline is an ELconometer PTG in reality, that is HUGE factor.

Cheers,
GREG

Awesome! Thanks for the info. I've noticed more and more people purchasing this paint gauge.
