This looked well-made at first glance only. The main rail had about 5mm of total curvature, the inner rail had about 1mm of play, and the end-stop was crooked. The motion is also rough and drifts unless you lock it down. I would only trust it to a few hundredths, getting worse as you approach the terminal length, because of the bowed rail.

If this is typical assembly quality, the carrying case is (relatively) the best thing about this product. They should downgrade the rated accuracy for slack in the rails. It’s probably based on the read-head’s potential on a much better frame.

Those who give this (and other cheap calipers) good reviews may not have used “real” calipers for reference. You can’t know something is “accurate” unless you have a benchmark. I just took a chance on it for simple shop work.

I recevied the caliper in a timely manor but it was defective. I sent a email to the supplier but never received a reply. At this time I would not purchase other products from them.

This product was well built and worked as advertised. I have no way to check its accuracy, however. For my applications I am not concerned with super accuracy. The inch and mm selection is useful for me. The unit came with a dead battery in the caliper but there was a spare battery in the case.

This is a Quality Digital Caliper at reasonable cost. Includes case to protect the caliper.

Battery was dead upon receipt…more an annoyance than a defect.

Digital display is large enough to read easily.

Case is padded and durable

Has a precision feel

Think it is made in China, without any loss of quality as best I can tell.

Product looked good on arrival, even with a spare battery. Immediately turned out to be junk. The display was erratic, constantly generating seemingly random numbers and obviously did not read accurately, not even close to the actual dimension. I cleaned the rail with cotton cloth as suggested in the manual but it did not help. It never returned to the original zero-gap value. Something probably wrong with the capacitive sensor. It is heading back to the vendor.
