This is a handy tool that belongs in every toolbox. Pure genius!

This little plastic tool is definitely worth the money. Just bought one during the Miami Boat Show and have already used it many times to determine the size of all the rigging, lifelines and electric cables on my sailboat. Should have bought two of them to keep one as a spare.

I purchased a Riggers Gauge about 4- 5 years ago and think it is priceless, every boat should have one of these on it, it pays for itself the first time you use it! I replaced all the lines on my boat, and several smaller hoses spend several hundred dollars. It actually paid for itself many, many times over by saving me time and money, not to mention the frustration of purchasing the wrong size rope, or hoses, etc. Once cut, some supplies are a little hesitate to take back the wrong size rope. It's truly invaluable! John Halter is a true marine craftsman, he does what he says he will, often times more, and stands behind his products.

All the extra time you've spent trying to determine the stainless tubing, wiring, or rigging size is now effortlessly taken care of with this tool. Now you know the exact size and quickly!
