But I see they are no longer being made ... oh no!! I guess we'll all need to keep our eyes out. Precise charging of magnet gauss is ESSENTIAL to producing great sounding pickups!!!
Okay ... so With the spin Dr no longer available ... here are a couple of things I found that seem like they would work well and not be too expensive: https://www.amazon.com/Gaussmeter-Fluxmeter-Surface-Magnetic-Function/dp... This one is kinda clunky ... but it measures in mT (good) and shows N and S orientation ... only possible issue is it only reads to 2000mT, and some neo pickup magnets will exceed that ... but VERY few!
Gauss level is, in fact Soooooooooo important ti a pickup's tone. As a matter of fact, I just decided I'll post a blog on it's importance and details! So check the blog section out.
Wow ... I use (and LOVE) the Spin Doctor:

I'll report back if I find anything.

Thanks. Vaughn, I’m going to try the first one.
I’ll check out the blog.
Interesting. I have been searching the Internet for this and came upon your website. Fabulous . Now I gotta actually GET one .
