A well-made appliance with excellent value for money and a plastic box to protect it. The most of the device, and the main reason why I bought it: it has a fixed "cap" and attached to the dial, this makes it possible to tighten the comparator in the chuck of a milling machine for example (very convenient to see if a piece is well flat). Most of the other commercial comparators do not have this cap, but directly the measuring rod that comes out on the other side, so it is impossible to keep in chuck.

Appareil de bonne facture, avec un excellent rapport qualité/prix et une boite en plastique pour le protéger. Le plus de l'appareil, et la raison principale pour laquelle je l'ai acheté : il a un "capuchon" fixe et solidaire du cadran, ce qui permet de serrer le comparateur dans le mandrin d'une fraiseuse par exemple (très pratique pour voir si une pièce est bien plane). La plupart des autres comparateurs du commerce n'ont pas ce capuchon, mais directement la tige de mesure qui ressort de l'autre coté, donc impossible à maintenir en mandrin.
