Me too, I don't do enough to warrant a Rimac so I was wondering about the accuracy of those mini ones that you compress in a vise.

For on the head stuff LSM is a great piece. As for bench top testing, the compressables that are sold through various outlets are fairly accurate compared to out LSM Benchtop and comparable to the Rimac we use. We used to keep one of those small compressable ones in the trailer for the track before getting the LSM one..

They sell on head stuff as well. IMO the best one out there..Well next to the Buxton stuff which is spendy and not as much coverage.

I noticed that on the LSM unit. Spend some time with those on your crew that will use it, you should be able to develop a method where you all get similar results.

You can get three different results yourself just placing your hand differently or pulling differently. They just need to have some consistency in using the tool. The Buxton stuff is the cats tit$ really. IF it will work with what set up you are using..Wouldnt work on my B1 stuff really at all. But as with all mopars offsets it takes some patience and practice using any of them.
