    Blake Coax

    I'm looking for a coax indicator. Is a Blake coax worth the extra money? I know you usually get what you pay for. Any other makes that are less expensive, but of good quality?

    Get the Blake. I tried a cheaper one, about 1/3 the price, in my home shop and it was useless; sometimes you had to move .005" to get the needle to deflect at all. I wasted much more than the difference in price in time fiddling around getting things true with it before I got sensible and bought another Blake.
    An open mind is a virtue...so long as all the common sense has not leaked out.

    Blake is the only way to go you will never be sorry buying a Blake. I have had 3 over the years sold all of them, but they were always dead on and have better attachments than others I have seen over the years.
