The four gauges measure from 5/16 to 1/2", 1/2 to 3/4", 3/4 to 1-1/4", 1-1/4 to 2-1/8", 2-1/8 to 3-1/2", and 3-1/2 to 6". Each gauge has two spring-tensioned telescoping plungers for uniform contact pressure. The self-centring handles are rigidly attached to contact plungers. Five handles measure 2-3/8" and one handle measures 3-1/4" in length. A lock at the end of the handle secures the gauge width for measurement with a micrometre (sold separately). The gauge set comes in a protective case for storage. The L.S. Starrett Company manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology and testing equipment, and saw blade products. The company, founded in 1880, is headquartered in Athol, MA.

They are either poorly made in China or they are fake copies, They are literally falling apart and have barely been used under hobby use. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by W***E on 1 March 2024* I have two other sets of telescoping gauges that even after spending a lot of time cleaning, deburring, oiling, etc, they still had "crunchy" spots and the lockup is inconsistent. This makes it difficult to get consistent repeatable measurements. The Starrett set has a very different feel to them. The lockup is very light and the same each time. This makes it easier to take accurate measurements that you can repeat 3-4 times in the same spot and get the same measurement time and again. This makes for more trust in the measurement you are getting on critical parts. The price is a little hard to swallow when it is about 10X the cheap imports and still 2X the Mitutoyo, but I've also heard a lot of complaints and bad reviews of the Mitutoyos as well as the Brown and Sharp offerings. I guess the extra cost is worth it if the fit, finish and function is top notch. ## Frequently Bought Together - Starrett Telescoping Gage Set, Self-Centering with Two Arms - for Determining True Size of Holes, Slots, Recesses - 5/16" - 6" Range, 2-3/8" - 3-1/4" Handle Length - S579HZ - Starrett Dial Caliper with Adjustable Bezel, Precision Measurement Tool for Machinists, Hardened Stainless Steel - 0-6" Range, 0.001" Graduations, Durable Multifunction Caliper - 3202-6 - Starrett Machinists' Level with Ground and Graduated Main Vial - Enhanced Accuracy for Perfect Surface Alignment - 6" Length, 1-3/16" Width, Without Case - 98-6 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/53775956-starrett-s579hz-self-centring-telescoping-gauge-with-2-telescoping-arms](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/53775956-starrett-s579hz-self-centring-telescoping-gauge-with-2-telescoping-arms) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
