Perfect Starrett caliber

absolutely perfect. Watch Adam Booth's video on how to use them (He's Abom79 on YouTube). I use Adam's technique and get repeatable results to the nearest thousandth every time. I suppose if I had the ability to work with tenths these sensors wouldn't hold me back.

Pros
  • caliber

  • I don't remember but there was something

Good transducers but expensive

Starrett instruments are known for being excellent quality instruments and maintaining that quality comes at a price. I have several Starrett tools and I think they are worth the price. However, my first impression of these sensors was different and if you have the opportunity you can compare them with others available. However, the telescopic mechanism works well. No binding.

I love Starrett products and my store has a lot of them.

Ordered the first set Smallest caliber, didn't quite work out, exchange received. I received a replacement, opened the box and there was a spring and one of the ends of the smallest caliber! I love Starrett products and my store has a lot of them, but this is just crazy. I have read reviews from Brown and Sharpe and Mitutoyo and they all say they are great quality. I don't care about the cost and they don't have to be gold, they just have to WORK. They won't ship a replacement so I have to wait

Pros
  • Measurement
Cons
  • Long delivery time
