Yes, mils is better for most of us Great product protection on its own package and if it was me I would buy the tc01 because of the different reading positions and the reporting export. Nice graphic and different colors
I wish i had seen your video last week. Just got an RD brand. Doesn't seem bad, but I'm just a weekend warrior. If i was a pro, I'd have gone with something else. Thanks for the vid.
These both look like quality Gauges. 👌 I'm excited to test mine. Will definitely make a video.. these are insurance especially on these newer cars with thin clear. Great video.
The issue I have with the pain Guage is that the reading is all the material from the metal to the tip. So how can ypu really k ow how much clear is on that vehicle. That's what I don't understand what's the value of a tool that can't actually measure the thickness of the clear that is on top.of the base cost. 😊😊😊😊
@@btbd2785 You can buy gauges that will read each layer but they are thousands of dollars and doesn’t make sense for a DIYer to invest in. Most professional detailers don’t have them either. You don’t really know but by getting a base reading you can get an understanding of the paint. Most of today’s OE paint jobs base (color) is 2-3 mils and another 1 mil of clear. This tool just gives you an idea of what you are dealing with or will show you if a car has filler in the panels.
That volt meter sounds like garbage when you rotated the switch. For the people looking for a good meter buy a fluke. If you can’t afford a new one buy a used one. Kline meter are good too and cheaper.
@@timothyhartley7986 The sound of the switch doesn’t matter. 😂 I worked with techs that had Flukes and borrowed mine. 🤷 I also have a Klein I bought from Home Depot. They both read identical and the KaiWeets was about $50 cheaper and I have had it for years.
The problem is these don't tell you how much clear coat you have left. If you have 3 coats of paint and 2 coats of clear these only measures to the metal leaving you to be guessing. A waste of money imho
I've been looking for one. So many out there. I'm definitely interested in these now that you have explained them. Thank you 👍
@@JhawkerZ You are welcome! I’m glad I can help
I could use a new paint thickness gauge as mine doesn’t work well, thanks Brian!
@@ShineYourLightDetailing You are welcome Tim!
Great video Brian!! You can't beat the accuracy of those gauges.Especially at that price.
