Many years ago, when I was "turning wrenches" for a living, I found that the most common use for a dial indicator (in the auto repair business) was for checking/setting the backlash for the rear end ring and pinion setup. It can also be used to check for bends in items like pushrods, throttle shafts, etc., but that's usually easier done by rolling them on a piece of glass.
