PSA: Spent $75 on a "professional" hoof gauge from a fancy catalog - total garbage, bent after 2 uses
Got this stainless steel gauge from a big name catalog, seemed solid out of the box. First day out on a job in Davidson, NC, the little arm bent when I was measuring a draft horse hoof. Second day it just snapped off completely. Called them up and they said it's not covered under warranty since it's "improper use." Stick with the old school brass ones from your local supply shop, they're cheaper and actually hold up. Anybody else had luck with a specific brand that doesn't fall apart?

Man my buddy had that same issue with a no-name valve from Amazon.

Yeah that sounds like the same cheap import stuff that's flooding catalogs now, the brass ones are way more forgiving if you accidentally torque them.
