6 Inch/150Mm Stainless Steel Vernier Caliper Measuring Tool - High Precision And Durability For Accurate Measurements Review

Real Vernier calipers take a little longer to read than digital calipers, but if your measurements matter to you and you don't like the way the digital ones fluctuate zero points after you zero them, then this is for you! No Batteries, no gimmicks. Learn to read it, and it will be dead on, every time!

I am also very happy with the hard case that came with the calipers; I will be using them for fieldwork, and feel confident that the case will provide ample protection during transport.
