http://www.enasco.com/product/C06096N#details $15.45 5" dial :eek: 0-30 range, and it has markings down to the 1/2"
5 inches! I’m buying one
will they deliver to the UK? can find anywhere on there website that says either way!
Matvd, If you’d like I can act as a a proxy and have the gauges shipped to my house and then I’ll ship them to you.
thankyou canyon. Any idea how much it would cost to ship say 3 or 4 to the uk?
USPS shows that it’s going to cost approximately 41 USD if I can fit it into the smaller box. The larger box is 55. This is also on top of the shipping cost to my residence which was 10 dollars for one gauge. I’ll call the company and ask what their shipping policy is though and see if I can get you some information.

thanks canton, that is a big help as vac gauges are not soo easy to get in the UK, esp decent sized ones!
Good news. They do ship to the UK. You need to call their Wisconsin office at 001 920 563 2446. They work 9 to 5 and their timezone is -6 gmt I believe (-5 for daylight savings). Tell me if you have any more problems and I’ll try to help
For anyone interested I just got my vacuum gauge today. Here’s an extra large picture so you can really get an idea of how it looks and what the size is.

The new one is the white larger one on the right with the quarter on it. The black one my old one from Harbor Freight. If you want bigger click on the magnifying glass with a + sign in it near the upper right of the photo
Once again thank you for the great find George!
Funny thing about the gauges. They don’t match and I don’t have any standard to match them to, except atmospheric in which case they do match. Here’s a picture so you can see what I’m talking about.
which would you trust more?
I’d trust the Enasco one almost solely on the fact that it’s not from Harbor Freight. Speculating though I would also say the Enasco gauge is more accurate because it’s closer to 30 inches of mercury. The Harbor Freight one falls way shorter and the pump is rated to ~28 inches of mercury.
The Enasco is used a lot here in my region of the world and is very trusted.
To those of you that have purchased this gauge how is it working for you? Mine have been great. I just thought I would see if anyone was having problems or if they are still working fine.
Call up Schlueter directly. I bought two more gauges for the absolutely ridiculously low price of 10.50 each!
I found this out when I dropped my first one and it went out of whack. I wanted to see if they would recalibrate it but the guy told me it’d cost more than just buying new ones!
The gauges themselves are excellent though and I’m probably going to buy two more since in the composites world 10.50 for such a quality product is a steal.
I am buying mine usually at 6 euros or so, so that is a normal price.
All these units are non-calibratable, and they can do funny things at times, but keep in mind that it is more of an indication than a calibrated thing. If you want to be slightly more accurate, get a digital readout. These become affordable now.
