## Description

Starrett Magnetic Base Indicator Holder, Complete Set | for Test, Back-Plunger, AGD, Dial and Miniature-Dial Indicators, 657AA: Indicator Stands: desertcart.com: Industrial & Scientific

Review: Excellent build quality - Used this with my Starrett dial indicator to re-gear the five differentials on my 2003 and 2013 Jeep Wranglers and my RWD 1990 Volvo 740. Excellent build quality, made in the USA by folks who take pride in producing very high quality measuring instruments. Not cheap, but will last a lifetime. Just like the old days. Quality is worth the expense for some things. This is one of them. The cheap POS from Harbor Freight doesn't even stay on the differential housing without shifting around. This magnetic base allows you to take accurate measurements of backlash, etc. It is expensive but saves you a lot of time (and the expense of eight or nine crush sleeves). If you only need to use it once you can always sell it later on CraigsList. These - around here, at least - sell quickly. I plan on keeping mine, however. I have already used it enough to have gotten my money out of it. Great magnetic base. Highly recommended!
Review: Work made easy - Use every day

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is magnet holding power**
A: Don't know the rated number of "pounds", but when it comes to magnetic bases, you can't believe the ratings of cheap ones anyways.  I have this one, and am satisfied 100%.  You can never go wrong with Starrett.  Painful to spend this much on a magnetic base, but it is a great lifetime investment.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great indicator holder
*by T***5 on September 20, 2013*

I was a bit suprised at first when I opened the box for this holder at how small the magnet and arm are. that has actually been a good thing. this holder will go into places that a larger magnet would not and it holds very well. only problem has been that the thumb screw that holds the dovetail on the indicator will actually lock itself down, making it a pain to remove the indicator. But that is better than the indicator falling out, so it is a minor issue.
