kernow Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Thanks for the heads up. I've just bought a pair or five. If all goes well I'll post a few up here for other members benefit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ordered half a dozen for a community workshop I'm involved in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natas78 Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Looks to have the exact same measuring/lcd unit as my 42€ ones I bought locally... Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraggle42 Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Got a set of these at home I bought a few years ago. Work ok but the plastic parts are fragile and break easily. If you snap the little wheel off the measured distance sometimes jumps like mad. Also turn on VERY easily, so the battery doesn't last long.

alligoat Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Looks just like my calipers from Harbor Freight for $15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 For what it's worth... In my experience cheapo digital calipers are Ok for measuring cases, dials etc but may not be accurate enough to use for machining parts, fitting bezels, crystals, and other things that require precise measurements. I own a couple sets of Harbor Freight calipers and they may or may not give the same reading on the same part over and over so I use Mitutoyo calipers for precision measurements. I have a steel standard made to calibrate mechanical micrometers and the HF digicals will not give the same exact measurement of the block every time but the Mitutoyo calipers will.

Cheapo calipers are handy, but I wouldn't use them for anything which absolutely needs to be precise. Plus, in my experience, they burn through batteries like nothing else. There are some good teardowns and comparison videos on youtube for these sorts of calipers.

Sogeha Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Horses for courses really. I have three sets of calibrated and certified digital calipers for work, but we still use Verniers for precision stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Understood Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 My succulent salmon it is not the size of the boat it is rather how deep one fishes. Calipers are not required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogeha Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Since this thread has resurrected I will mention that Amazon still hasn't delivered my calipers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 I got mine, go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernow Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Nope, mine never arrived either. I messaged the seller twice but never received a reply so I contacted Amazon and got a refund. Shame as I also ordered a thermometer - which never arrived either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
