This stainless steel caliper is comfortable to the touch and has a 6.5 oz build quality. The slide feels good and the measurements have been very consistent. I don't have a Mitutoyo, but I do have a reliable (more expensive) caliper, the readings on this Preciva were accurate. My favorite features are the fractional measurements and the large display, and the backlight would have made that perfect. It is also nice that the battery can be changed quickly and easily without tools. The molded case is fairly basic, but is useful for protecting the caliper and housing a spare battery and included screwdriver.
