Why Choose HEMCO Gages?

Two simple reasons:

1. They last longer
2. They save you money!

Here's why:

HEMCOChrome gages provide a substantially longer life than plain steel or other imitation chrome
plated gages – almost 400% longer!

HEMCOChrome gages have a coating thickness that exceeds the competition by many times, as
seen in these photos:

HEMCOChrome gages can be restored to like-new condition through the Gage Saver™ Service at
very reasonable cost

HEMCOChrome gages do not require calibration as frequently as other gages thereby saving
calibration costs

HEMCOChrome gages do not need to be replaced as often as other gages thereby saving
overhead costs

 

In laboratory tests the HEMCOChrome gage outlasts the competitors plain steel gage or the imitators flash chrome gage 4:1
