Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)PROS: Three tools and a case, nice steel rule, Amazon customer service excellent.
CONS: Terrible quality - both cosmetic and functional, see below.
I received the first set of these excited I was getting a caliper, a steel rule and a scibe, but it arrived either used or poorly manufactured, as there were scratches and fingerprints all over the place. Not only that, but the slide on the caliper was bent so it made a little grinding noise, and the steel rule was also bent a little. So, I decided to send that set back for a "new" set, and lo and behold, another used or poorly cared for product. This one also has fingerprints and scratches, though nothing is bent. I could live with these cosmetic issues, as they're going to happen through regular use, but the calipers aren't even accurate. When simply sliding them back to zero at a slow speed, you get a difference of +/- .003" every time, which is simply unacceptable. Needless to say, I'm sending these ones back for a refund and finding a different set of calipers. Amazon, by the way, has been great about returning the first set (for free) and sending me a new set (for free). Go find a better set of calipers and DO NOT BUY THESE.
