Hmmm. I wonder if the Mag-ic probe has made these obsolete, or just made them hard to sell.

Here is Robbie O'Brien demonstrating one:

The price of these units are less than the hacklinger, and they seem to have the bugs ironed out of them. I don't have either type of gauge, but would be interested in hearing what people think.

cheers

Same thing crossed my mind Steve ....... be interesting to see if they suddenly start offering it. There's another similar Australian version (mentioned here in a previous thread).

I have had a Hacklinger for years - an essential tool, whatever the price (more or less).

I recently got a "Mag-ic Probe", and it seems to work perfectly. I won't be buying a Haclinger, even if its sale...
