    Best Coaxial indicator to buy?

    Whats the best thing I can get for $200 or less? Not trusting my dial test anymore for certain things.

    Okay you asked for it!!!!!!!

    Don't be so d****d cheap!!!!! Get one from Blake manufacturing in the Los Angeles area. Approximately twice your $200 figure but worth every penny. I would not consider buying anything else and I am not a US citizen.

    I haven't checked lately but I sure hope they have not been forced out of business by people go for cheap and crappy knock-offs.

    ok. I dont know much about coaxials except how to use one and read one. I just looked on the Blake site and $290 is what they get. Not bad at all. Ill gladly support a american company.
