Great price if it works good. Not worth much if it doesn't. I would do some google seaches and try to find get some more info on and reviews on it.
It is not an ultrasonix thickness gauge but it is an electro magnetic instrument. This product has only one problem, that it is too large and two hand use. The externeal cable if you are use too much will broken near to probe or connector. Much better the interneal probe version forexample this! http://herbil.hu/elmatronicfn.jpg
