Vici VC998A Digital Paint Thickness Gauge (Fe/NFe Coating Tester)
The professional Vici VC998A digital thickness gauge is a high-precision, rapid instrument engineered for the non-destructive measurement of paint, varnish, and coating thickness. It automatically identifies the type of metal substrate (magnetic or non-magnetic) and instantly displays the coating layer profile. Featuring extreme probe sensitivity and a compact layout, this gauge is an indispensable tool for car buyers, auto inspection specialists, insurance adjusters, body shops, and detailing studios searching for hidden body repairs or repainted panels.
Design Features & Benefits:
-
Dual-Core Automatic Identification (Fe/NFe): The gauge seamlessly detects whether the substrate is iron/steel (Fe) or aluminum/copper (NFe), switching its conversion calibration parameters automatically without manual adjustment.
-
One-Key Display Flip Function: A standout capability allows you to flip the image on the screen with a single button press. This guarantees easy and strain-free readability at any angle, especially when checking rocker panels, wheel arches, or under-car components.
-
Wide Viewing Angle LCD: The high-contrast display provides crisp digital feedback with outstanding visibility, avoiding contrast washout or color distortion when holding the unit at tilted positions.
-
High-Sensitivity Non-Destructive Probe: The precision testing head interacts softly with the automotive surface, preventing any micro-scratches on clear coats while ensuring flawless measurement consistency.
-
Ultra-Lightweight & Pocket-Sized: Weighing a mere 75 grams including its silicone shell and batteries, the device easily slips into your pocket. It is powered by two widely available 1.5V AAA batteries.
