This is a long time favorite among car buyers at dealer auctions. This is the meter most guys carry. Elcometer is a leading company in paint thickness measurement. This is the Lexus of the brands and you can never go wrong owning it.

Elcometer is a 60 year old company with membership on the ISO committee - they help set the standard for instrumentation measurement & quality.

The Elcometer Highline has a lifetime warranty on calibration. It has a wear rating of 700,000 commercial uses.

It has a 5 year warranty but made to last 10 years. Its very tough and durable. It measures up to 20 mils & can be used in all weather. Its rugged and reliable. It also measures over steel and aluminum. One thing I do not like is the fact it rounds its readings to the nearest .5. It only reads like 5.5, 6.0, or 6.5. If you watch the video again, you will notice that.

If it needs to be repaired under warranty, Elcometer will repair your meter in 24 hours and pay return shipping - just like the Defelsko PosiTest.

This meter is a great product but at a premium price. If you want what most people are carrying at the auction, then by the Elcometer 311 Highline.

You simply can't go wrong with this meter. But, for the money price and screen size, I would recommend the PosiTest DFT Combo from Defelsko.
