Chatillon DFIS 100 digital force gauge — a handheld push-and-pull tester used on a bench to measure how much force it takes to move, seat or break something. The label gives three ranges: 100 x 0.1 lb, 50 x 0.05 kg and 500 x 0.5 N. Grey moulded case with an LCD window, four rubber keys reading UNITS, PEAK, ZERO and a reset, a threaded load shaft at the nose for screwing on hooks and compression plates, and a charging jack and connector on the tail. This is shop test equipment, not an aircraft part.
Sold AS-IS and UNTESTED. No calibration certificate, no calibration date and no accessories — no charger, no hooks, no plates, no case. Nothing here should be read as a statement that the gauge reads accurately or at all. Buy it as a bench instrument to check out and recalibrate, or for parts.

About the source of this item
From the leftover inventory of an aviation component shop that did inspection, repair and certification work. When the company closed, the remaining stock was sold at sale. That origin matters: this is not random scrap from an unknown garage, it sat in a professional aviation-parts environment. It does not mean the unit was finished, tested or released before the shop closed, and it does not mean it is approved for flight use today.
