Accusize Industrial Tools 0.251''-0.500'', 250 Pc/Set Steel Plug Pin Gage Set, Minus, Class Zz, M2(-)

A little wax paper and preservative to deal with, but absolutely worth the effort. Great set, good value.

I left my formerly negative review mostly intact below, just to explain the negatives of the aluminum case. However, after being annoyed by the aluminum case for over a year, I finally called Accusize. I got a very helpful person immediately, no long hold or call back. I explained my problem to her, she suggested sending me the plastic case for free. (I had thought about trying to buy one, but free is OK, too.) She followed up with a couple of emails about the shipping, and I got the plastic case, which is nice. No stuck pins, seems pretty tough and well made. Thank you, Livia. I should have called sooner. So, now it gets five stars, like most of the other Accusize things I have. But now, I dealt with the company, and it went well. It is now common that it is near impossible to speak to a human, so this was a nice surprise. If it is still available, I would not get the aluminum case, unless they have changed it. OLD REVIEW FOLLOWS, NO LONGER APPLIES--> This bad review is for the 0.251 to 0.500 set. I also have the smaller sizes, and they are fine. Gage pins themselves are ok..sharp edged, but I can change that if I want, and the sharp edge could be needed in some situations. However, the case is bad. The holes are through a sheet of plastic with foam underneath. The holes in the foam are way undersized..some practically seem glued in. I'm an avid motorcycle woods rider, and from that have what is probably stronger than average grip strength. Most of these I cannot get out without time consuming "wobbling" to enlarge the hole in the foam, then pulling,, wobble,, pull.. it can easily take a minute to remove one. It shrinks back after a while, too. Really makes me mad. Should I grab my new gage pins with pliers? It is annoying enough that I might make a wood piece with holes. I shouldn't have to drill 250 holes to use this stupid set of pins. I'd recommend considering another brand. I've been happy with other accusize things, mostly tooling, but not this junk. Should have returned it. 250 small slick things that are only useful if in order and easily accessible. And they aren't. The case is an important part of this product, and it is terrible.<--OLD REVIEW, READ FROM START.

Very nice case and top quality pieces.

Well made and great accuracy! Great for my home machine shop!

Pretty accurate great quality

I am very happy I read the reviews on several pin gauge kits before buying anything. This one was recommended due to the wonderful case and I concur with that opinion. The case has nice, locking latches and all of the sizes are clearly marked inside. I also needed an M1 gauge set, but Accusize only seems to sell that in an aluminum case that had bad reviews. It would be great if they could make the M1 set in a case like this one. As for the accuracy of the pins themselves, I don't have any micrometers accurate enough to tell if they are entirely in tolerance, but they have all been to size within the precision of my measurement equipment.

No worries. Exactly as advertised.

Nice gage set packed in a protective case.

EXCELENTE

They are excellent for measuring small holes

nice complete kit, well made.

Checked random pieces with a calibrated vernier micrometre. All good

I have purchased a number of tools from Accusize over the years both directly from their website and through Amazon, and have never been disappointed...this Gage Pin Set is no exception. The finish and tolerance of every pin in the set is dead accurate and the quality of the protective storage case is the best I've come across; superior even to all of my older American made sets. Outstanding quality instruments at an unbeatable price!
