Value Collection PDG/6 Protractor and Depth Gage 6 Inch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PDG/6 is a combination protractor and depth gage designed for layout, inspection, and measurement tasks in shop and field environments. The tool features a half-round head with a 0 to 180 degree angle measurement range and a stainless steel rule that measures 0 to 6 inches. Angle graduation is marked in 1-degree increments, with accuracy to 0.5 degrees. The stainless steel rule resists corrosion and wear, while the steel head provides a stable reference surface. Machinists, toolmakers, fabricators, and maintenance technicians use this type of instrument for checking angles, measuring depths, and laying out work on metal, wood, and composite materials.

The PDG/6 is suited for bench use in machine shops, fabrication shops, and maintenance facilities. It is appropriate for both production and one-off layout tasks where a quick, reliable angle or depth reference is needed. The compact 6-inch rule length makes it practical for measuring shallow depths and smaller workpieces. No hook is included on the rule. The single-piece packaging makes it convenient for individual technician tool kits or toolbox storage.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Clean the reference surfaces of both the rule and head before use to ensure accurate readings. Store the tool in a dry location to protect the steel head from corrosion. Handle the stainless steel rule carefully to avoid bending, which can affect measurement accuracy.
