Exceeds Expectations

I needed 12" calipers that weren't too spendy and these fit the bill. I didn't really need the DRO as I am used to dial calipers, but after using these calipers I'm liking this DRO and its ability to toggle between inches, fractional inches and millimeters. One of the buttons is an On/Off button, but I found that the DRO turns on automatically when the jaws are opened. The calipers seemed a little dry out of the box. After a good wipedown and a drop of oil in the thumb wheel pivot, the feel of the movement is excellent. The box that comes with it is commendable for the thoughtfulness put into its design. It does more than just provide a case to protect the instrument when it is not in use. It has a long well molded inside which is useful as a steady rest for parts being measured, very helpful when using long calipers such as these. Assuming the DRO lasts (why wouldn't it?) this is a lot of bang for the buck. I like it.

Nice little digital caliper

This cheap caliper has saved my bacon over and over in my 3d printing escapades. As far as I can tell it is accurate, it measures every which way, and the case it comes in has not failed yet. i hav dropped it from my table a couple of times, no trouble. YMMV. I have used it to determine the exact diameter of filament, used it to do set up measurements when I built my reprap kit. You need one of these or something exactly like it to make 3d printing go well. Excellent buy, excellent tool. Mine came with a battery installed and a spare,

A Few Oddities, But Fully Satisfactory

Works perfectly. I have several other calipers of different brands, one digital, one with an analog clock-type dial. They are all very close in their measurements of a sized sample, and this one is right in there, so I trust it. Quick and easy to use with a large display. Only peculairity is that in measuring inches, my usage, the first two digits are very large, the rest much smaller. So 1.2345" would have a large 1 and 2, with 3, 4 and 5 small. This takes some getting used to, and I would prefer that all digits were of the same size, but I can live with it. The case it comes in is heavy, sturdy plastic, holding the calipers securely and snugly. For protective, anti-shock transport, this is a great case. It is difficult to open; however; so in daily use, I keep it in the cheaper, but handier case of another caliper. I do recommend this caliper, and would buy this one again, in preference to others.

The big display is very easy to read

I usually review products I have purchased after 2-3 months, but going to review this one the same day I got it. I tested it on a few test objects and compared to my dial caliper it seems even more accurate. The big display is very easy to read, and although I thought this low cost caliper would probably just have good resolution but be less accurate than my more expensive caliper, it actually seems to have the accuracy to make full use of its two decimal place mm resolution. The price is really good. It comes with a great hard plastic case, with foam padding beneath the caliper, but only two circular pieces with thin firm padding that press down on the caliper when stored. The case looks sturdy enough I can drop the case or even toss it around on hard surfaces and not worry about the caliper. The case has a cutout for putting in a pen and a cutout for storing another battery (this product includes 1 battery already inside the caliper, and 1 additional one inside). If the seller or manufacturer is reading, I think the case would be much improved by cutting off a bit of the hard plastic circles and replacing it with a thicker piece of foam, that would reduce the amount of shock that can be transferred to the caliper even more, but maybe wouldn't make a difference, I don't know if shock can damage digital calipers. I can't find any fault right now after about 20 minutes of testing accuracy and examining the product, but will update if I find issues in the future. Thanks Clockwise, the price is really great, and the product is also really great.

Pretty Darn Good Quality

I just got this today to replace the beater HF one that I've been tossing around in the shop for years and finally lost this past month. I've been making due with a plastic caliper and an oversized caliper that I bought for bigger stuff, but I really needed something this size that's accurate to a thou or so and so decided to get something off of Amazon with good reviews. As soon as I opened the package, I could tell the difference in quality between the HF one and this. Much nicer. I like that it has position memory (wherever you zero it, it keeps that zero, and remembers its position when it shuts off then comes back on at some point). It also comes back on automatically when you start running the slide back or forth, which is pretty convenient. Most importantly, it reads the exact same every time I close the jaws. No half thou variations with this one, just dead on every time. And it's really easy to get it to make fine adjustments. No jerkiness. Not quite as smooth as a Mitutoyo or Starrett ones I've held, but others have said they free up as you use them, and for the price, you can't expect the moon. We'll see how it holds up, but considering that I used the super cheapo one for 5 or so years without issue, I think this one will last just as long. Long story short, haven't used it much yet, but so far seems absolutely fantastic for the price. Can't go wrong, especially for the home shop.

Amazing quality for the price!

Way more accurate than what I would ever need. I moved the slide all the way from one end to the other several times, and with different amounts of force, and it always came back to exactly zero. (unless I pushed it a little harder when returning it back to zero, then it showed -0.001 but it went back to zero when I released the pressure on it) I had purchased one of the $8.00 plastic dial type, but I sent it straight back because it was pure junk! This one is built to a whole nother level of quality! I wanted a dial type caliper, but apparently you have to pay big bucks to get one of those that is decent quality. (An added benefit of the digital ones is you can easily switch from mm to inches with the push of a button.) For $4.00 more than the plastic junk this is a steal! It came with a nice case, and it even included 2 batteries though the listing said batteries were not included. VERY HAPPY!

Definitely buy these, but remember to do this . . .

These are an amazing deal at the price, so definitely recommended for accurate woodworking. When I first had them, I'd find that they'd turned on in the case and had a dead battery when I needed to use them. So I bought a pack of 12 batteries to make sure that never happened again, but then I found that they weren't turning on because of being bumped in the case, but because the jaws had moved. They're designed to turn on automatically when they see any opening of the jaws, rather than having to push the (pretty tiny) on button. So now I turn the locking screw before I put them away and I haven't had the problem since. Anyone want to buy 11 batteries? :)

Killer price, decent quality

This is no Mitutoyo, but for the price you could not ask for more. Honestly, this thing is solid, reasonably hard, and more importantly pretty accurate (more than enough for my needs working with 3d prints). You’ll want something harder and higher quality if you want to scribe on hard metals, but for low end non-precision work, this is way more than you’ll need. Measuring against gauge blocks, it was spot on up to the furthest extent of the measuring surface. I liken it to the difference between a chinese multimeter and a Fluke. Yeah, the chinese meter is going to measure just fine, but it’s not certified, will likely go off calibration sooner, and isn’t built to the same quality as the real deal, but it’ll do well for the home gamer messing around in their garage.

Great for $20 Calipers

This is a really nice caliper for $20 bucks. If your spending $20 on calipers dont expect it to be great or last long, they are considered a throw away tool at this price. But to my surprise I was expecting some Harbor freight type calipers that are cheap but can get the job done if maybe only for a little bit. I only need these to measure some things every once and awhile and they will sit in its case on my desk the rest of the time. The frame is really nice and sturdy the digital display is where they cheap out. Its cheaply made but works fine for me at least. It has a nice feature other cheapos I have had do mot and this is the automatic on when you start to measure. Ild recommend these not for a student traveling or a professional but for a hobbyist or occassional use these are nice.

Best calipers for the price range

At first I didn't expect much from these calipers for the price. When I got them I was pleasantly surprised with their quality. Repeatably with measurements is spot on, they glide smoothly along the track, and feel of a higher quality in your hand. After using them for a few months I would say for certain that I would buy them again. I like how they turn on automatically when you open the jaws as well. They have an attractive design that is different from most that have a "cheap" appearance, and for a tool is nice to look at. At first I was unsure on this one because it lacked the finer measurements on the body, but they arn't really needed, long as it doesn't die on you. It also comes with a spare battery as well which is nice, and a reasonably good case. Display is large and easy to read as well. No complains here.
