non-magnetic mechanical stylus force gauge

Hi,
Need to get myself the stylus force gauge and after reading what other people say decided to buy the simple Shure SFG-2 but then realized from one of the reviews on Amazon (as well as here) that it is still a magnetic one? Just curious - if Sure does know that this feature can cause problems why they wouldn't fix it or is there already another one from them which is non-magnetic? I looked at Ortofon as well but that one seems a little too simplistic with only limited number of scale grades. Since I have some MC carts the magnetism I guess can cause a problem, just wondering if this is correct? Appreciate the feedback.
Thank you
Anatoliy

As has been pointed out here for many years, that canned response from Shure contains more errors and false assumptions than facts.

As Tobes asked, why buy a cheaply made, inaccurate tool when for very little more money you can buy a decently made tool that's more reliable and more accurate?
