Starrett recently introduced the 765A Electronic Snap Gage. This new electronic product is designed to fill the same role that the very popular Starrett No. 1010 Dial Indicator Pocket Gage has filled for many years.

It is ideal for inspectors, purchasing agents, salespeople and others who need to quickly measure the size of materials up to 1/2" or 12.7mm thick.

As with the 1010, they are invaluable on shopfloors for production applications where the operator needs to quickly track the consistency of parts at the back end of an operation.

Features and Specifications:
• Balanced and compact for comfortable handling
• Simple, logical control buttons for ease-of-use 
• Easy-to-read LCD with .35" (8.9mm) high characters
• Single long-life battery with easy access
• Light-weight aluminum frame
• Inch/millimeter conversion
• Zero at any position
• Manual ON/OFF with auto-off after 7 minutes of nonuse
• Fitted plastic case
• Single, 3-volt CR2032 battery
• Range: 0-1/2" (0-12.7mm)
• Linear Accuracy: ±.0010" (±0.02mm)
• Resolution: .0005" (0.01mm)

As with the 3751 Height Gage and the 3753 Series Depth Gages profiled in the Summer 2008 Last Word, the 765A Snap Gage is based on the head of the smaller 799 Electronic Slide Calipers.
