What it does
- Protects your dial indicator during storage and transport so it stays accurate and ready to use
- Fits snugly in your toolbox, replacing the flimsy foam brick that comes with most gauges
- Works with generic 0-1 inch indicators and Harbor Freight versions, so you get the right fit
- Custom designed for your specific tool, meaning no wasted space or loose parts
Your dial indicator finally gets a home that keeps it safe. Instead of tossing it loose in a drawer, you slide it into this fitted case and know it will be there, protected and ready when you need it.
This case wraps around your 0-1 inch dial gauge with the 9.5mm shank. It holds the tool steady during storage so nothing shifts around. The case fits both the standard generic version and the Harbor Freight model, so you get the right fit for what you own.
Stop digging through your toolbox for a loose measuring tool. This case keeps everything organized and in one place.

Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
