Gurus:
I have a new tool toy. I needed to know the thickness of a tank wall ( steel ) with no ability to get to the other side of it.
Well, there's a tool for that! So I purchased an ultrasonic thickness gauge. Figured I would test it out and return it if I was not happy.
Well, I am very happy with its performance and price. $92.50 delivered to my door.

It is easy to test. We all have lots of stuff that we can put our vernier calipers on and read to a fraction of a mm.
You just apply a little conducive juice to the sensing head ( it's included ) and look for the icon that shows you have a good marriage of the sensor and your material and read the thickness. Sides need to be parallel for best results.
If I never use it again, it has paid for itself in peace of mind several times over.
I'll upload a couple pics below.
