The large dial makes these gauges easy to read. They measure tension force as well as weight.

Measure the tension of wire or cable.

Check how much force a part can take before it bends, stretches, or breaks.

Housing is brass.

These gauges come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they've passed a test for accuracy.

Measure tension force as well as weight. Also known as dynamometers.

Take tension and compression measurements at 0.1% accuracy—the highest accuracy of all our force gauges.

Safely view your tension force measurements on a handheld receiver up to 450 ft. away when moving bulk material with cranes and hoists.

Calculate how hard it is to peel tape off a surface, separate the layers within a laminate, or unfasten a hook and loop.

Often used on packaging films, food seals, and gloves, these tools test the puncture strength of thin materials.

Check that your products have the right balance of grip and slip. For quality control, these testers are commonly used to measure friction generated by packaging materials such as plastic film and cardboard.

Determine if an adhesive or an epoxy creates a strong enough bond on a surface.
