I have the short Standard-Hydraulic model without the red peak needle.
The gauge is thicker than the cylinder body so I had to stick a 1/4"
spacing plate on the back to use it lying flat, as it was meant to go
between spotwelder tongs. It was last calibrated in 1992.

Instruments that require calibration to be commercially useful can go
quite cheap as surplus. I have enough to cross-check them, to see if
any are broken. So far all have worked fine, they're simply old and
analog.

Sadly Harbor Freight no longer offers the 65613 Big Game Scale which
weighed to 440 Lbs. When I checked and reported on it last August it
agreed with a doctor's scale to one division at 248 Lbs. Y'all just
didn't run out and buy enough of them.
