The Rex RX-BF Big Foot Durometer Foot Adapter is designed to increases the diameter of the foot from 1/2" to 1 3/8" diameter. One of the most common problems durometer users experience is false readings due to pressing too firmly on the gauge and imbedding the foot of the gauge into the test specimen. To make durometers a good instrument for testing in hard to reach areas, we designed our gauges with the smallest foot possible which is 1/2" diameter. This small foot makes it easy for an inexperienced user to imbed the foot of the gauge into the soft specimens thus obtaining false readings. One simple way to prevent this operator error is to install a Big Foot attachment onto the lower barrel of the gauge.
