- Compared to other inspection tools, they are quite economical and do not require heavy investment.
- They can be easily assembled within a couple of minutes by the inspection personnel.
- They can be used with holes of various dimensional specifications and in different applications.
Plug gauges do not consume either energy or electricity. Depending on minimal resources, the task can be undertaken manually thereby reducing dependence on other expensive inspection tools and equipment.
