I have the Galazan analog dial indicator gauge, and had to return the first one I received for Christmas. The design is excellent; it is a Chinese copy of the Chubbs gauge. I had a Chubbs many years ago, and sold it thinking "Why do I need this anymore, since I've measured all my guns?"
The Galazan gauge is not nearly so well machined as the original Chubbs, and can be very jerky as the wedge spreads the fingers, in both the inward, and outward direction. This can be a pain as you're withdrawing the gauge when the dial stops moving only to jump down 20 thous a 1/4" down the tube.
The Skeets gauge has a great reputation, and while the digital model is versatile because of the "floating zero" The price difference is ridiculous since the electronic dial indicator is $39.95 at Harbor Freight. (I know as I just bought one for my barrel wall thickness gauge.)
