Review on πŸ“ Woodraphic Professional Function Calipers: Precise and Versatile Measuring Tool by Deejay Allard

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The vernier stinks!

It's a pity that there is no instruction manual for the vernier in the box. I spent about 6 hours watching YouTube videos back-to-back until I finally figured out how to use the vernier scale. The reason I say the vernier scale on this instrument stinks is because this one, like many other vernier scales used to measure inches, has its scale set to 1/128th of an inch. It's very common, but the pain is in the butt. Other instruments use a vernier scale to measure inches, but instead of a 1/128 scale, they use a 0.001 inch scale. It makes the math so easy you can do it in your head. It's like a vernier scale measuring millimeters where the math is easy to do in your head. But I don't work in millimeters; I work in customs. Therefore, I would like the vernier scale of this instrument to use a 0.001 inch measurement. Conclusion: This tool is well made and holds up reasonably well, but be prepared for some tedious math - if it were possible with a simple 0.001 inch scale.

Pros
  • βœ”οΈ MULTIPURPOSE (MEASURING AND MARKING) - A vernier caliper can do 5 different things! From measuring 45 degrees, 90 degrees, depth, width to drawing lines. You can measure the thickness and depth of an object like any other caliper, but you can also check angles using a combination of miter and square. You can mark an object using the main scale as a ruler. Make measuring and marking easy with Woodraphic Caliper!
Cons
  • Only available in white
