Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I ordered this tool via Amazon's Gold Box for hobby use (wood ship modeling) - I figured it might be cheap (or at least, very inexpensive) junk, but more accurate than I need for the purposes intended. However, from the moment I first opened the case, I was extremely impressed with the tool.
The quality of manufacture seems to be very fine - good "fit and finish," with smooth operation and crisp button response. It has a *solid* feel to it.
The performance is far better than I expected. There is an ON/OFF button, but the gauge turns on automatically when the calipers are opened, and turns off after a period of inactivity. There's a button to toggle between inches and millimeters as well, but more interesting and potentially useful is a ZERO button, which allows the user to set any particular measurement point as the zero from which the next distance is measured. Nice.
The repeatability also seem to be quite good - I tested several times with some machined brass bars, and the measurement was accurate and consistent.
If I had to say anything bad about this tool, it would be with regards to the extremely weak documentation that accompanies it. For instance, it does not accurately describe how to open the battery compartment with the included screwdriver. Indeed, the illustrations in the "manual" are of a slightly different product... but then, if you are the kind of person who buys calipers, this is not a significant obstacle to overcome.
I don't know if I'll ever be able to wear it out to the point that it needs replacing, but I would buy again.
