Don’t buy cheap plastic calipers, get these instead!
I bought these digital calipers to replace a plastic set I got from Harbor Freight years ago. Those calipers worked ok for many years, but I always regretted not getting a better stainless steel set. Now I have a good set of digital calipers that are more precise and hold zero much better.These are well made digital calipers. They weigh 6.8 ounces on my postal scale. They are made with thick, milled and polished, hardened stainless steel. They have a set screw and a thumb wheel for ease of use. The size is perfect for precision measurements and portability. The calipers came with a plastic case, a set of instructions, and a small screwdriver for the battery compartment, which are all adequate but unremarkable. I am very pleased with the quality, versatility, and value of these digital calipers.This digital caliper set came with batteries installed and a spare set in the case. It turned itself on right out of the box when I opened the jaws with the thumb wheel. It instantly zeroed out when I pushed the ZERO button and with one exception stayed zeroed out while doing some accuracy testing. I did some checking with a set of feeler gauges and a General No. 300 6-inch metal ruler. I found these calipers to be accurate, well within acceptable tolerances.With the push of a button you can switch this digital caliper between MM, Inches, and Fractions. It shows millimeters to the hundredths, inches to the thousandths, and fractions down to 1/128th. The display is not back lit, but it is easy to read in low light as well as direct sunlight.I haven’t found anything negative about these calipers to comment about. There are several identical stainless steel calipers listed here on Amazon, some generic and some branded, that are obviously made by the same manufacturer in China. I chose this one based on price, fast delivery, and reviews. Is one better than the other? I doubt it! What I don’t doubt is these stainless steel calipers will out perform the plastic ones and they are worth the extra few dollars.
