    Does anyone know the difference or can recommend which one of the High line paint gauges to get?
    First gen or the 2nd ? they both seem to be the same. Thanks guys. Bob

    I'm getting the second gen because its smaller and appears easier to stash in a pocket...

    I have the 2nd generation one. Just keep in mind, it will not read paint depth on plastic abs or fiberglass. On metal it works average.

    Do you find them to be accurate ?

    I would say after calibration there is about a 5% range of error. This is based off the test strips they provide.

    I've found that the lower the reading, the more accurate it is, which is a good thing.

    +1 on the Highline II. Excellent gauge for the money and it appears to be within the stated accuracy specification when measuring the supplied foils :thumb:
