New at Summit Racing: Chicago Brand Precision Measuring Tools

Building a well-running vehicle demands attention to detail—the kind of detail that Chicago Brand Precision Measuring Tools can deliver. As a leading manufacturer of measurement and specialty hand tools, Chicago Brand offers engine builders and machinists a collection of tools accurate enough for pro shops, yet affordable enough for the home garage.

Chicago Brand Electric Digital Calipers deliver instant readings of inside, outside, step, and depth measurements. The oversized LCD readout is accurate to 0.001 inch and can be configured to display metric or standard units. The calipers’ measurement surfaces are made from hardened stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance. Multiple caliper sizes are available. Chicago Brand also makes calipers designed specifically for taking disc and drum brake measurements like rotor thickness and runout. 

Perhaps no measurement is more important to an engine build than the cylinder bore. Chicago Brand Dial Bore Gauges measure with 0.0005 inch accuracy. Precision construction delivers fast, easy sets, while hardened ball end anvils ensure long-term durability. Chicago Brand makes several gauges with different ranges depending on the application, and each dial bore gauge includes a measurement chart.

Micrometers have a place in every machinist’s tool box. Chicago Brand makes a wide range of micrometers for inside, outside, depth, counter, and other specialty applications. Each micrometer has smooth, ratcheting dial action with a carbide-tipped measurement tip. Micrometer sets are also available with interchangeable anvils (e.g. flat, spherical, disc, pint, etc.) for added versatility. The Electronic Digital Micrometers come in several ranges and provide precision outside dimension readings to 0.00005 inch with 0.0001 inch accuracy.

Chicago Brand Flex Arm Dial Indicator Kits include a gauge with an accurate long range dial indicator with revolution counter and continuously settable zero. The indicator’s base has a strong magnet for easy use around engines and shop tools. The dial indicator gauge, flex arm, and base come packed in a rugged, foam-padded, double-wall poly storage case. 

Chicago Brand makes a wide range of other tools, including squares, radius gauge sets, dial protractors, adjustable angle blocks, and ratcheting combination wrenches—available now at Summit Racing.
