FWIW, I used a Loos gauge for my rod rigging this past spring to equalize the tension of my upper and lower shrouds. While sailing in a breeze, I noted that the lower shrouds were loose compared to the upper shrouds. Go figure.

Didn't think Loos gauges were terribly inaccurate. Now I question them. Found this article: https://l-36.com/loosaccuracy.php Guess a good rule is to use the same gauge only to return your rig to settings based on your experience on the water. I might borrow a neighbor's gauge and compare it to mine. -- Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA
