Before drawing down, forming or pricing a job, confirm what stock you are actually holding. This circular gauge reads non-ferrous wire and sheet on the American Standard Gage scale, with the decimal inch equivalent stamped on the reverse of each slot — no conversion chart needed. Our wire gauge guide explains how the sizing systems relate.

The tool is cut from heavy-gauge stainless steel, and every number is stamped into the metal rather than printed, so the markings stay legible through years of workshop handling.

  • Measures non-ferrous metals from 0 to 36 on the American Standard Gage (ASG) scale.
  • Reverse face displays corresponding decimal inch equivalents for each gauge size.
  • Gauge numbers and decimal values are permanently stamped into the steel for lasting clarity.
  • Constructed from heavy-gauge stainless steel for durability in the workshop.
  • All stock is held in the UK, ready for same-day dispatch.

Who it's for

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Adam ★★★★★

The markings are crisp and easy to read, even on the smaller wire sizes. I've been using it to double-check my stock before pricing jobs, and it's already saved me from a costly mistake. Feels solid in the hand, too.

Harper N. ★★★★★

Finally, a gauge that actually tells me what I've got without guessing — the US Standard scale with decimal inches is spot-on for the non-ferrous sheet I use daily. The 0-30 range covers everything from thin wire up to chunky rod, and it's small enough to live in my bench drawer.

Julian ★★★★★

The numbered dial is crisp enough to read 30-gauge wire without squinting, and the circular design fits nicely in my palm while I sort scrap. Swapping between the US Standard and decimal scales on the same wheel saves me from digging out a conversion chart mid-project.
