Excellent tool, suitable for calipers and parts

Works as described. The only problem was the magnets which kept coming loose. Nothing can be fixed with a little glue unless you lose them. I recommend it.

Pros
  • Spare parts
Cons
  • Not bad

GOOD IDEA BAD QUALITY CONTROL

This tool is a very good idea. but when i got it it didn't work. The side with the screw worked fine, but the side attached to the ratchet didn't spin freely. I had to take it off and clean it to make it spin freely. It works now, but when I buy a tool I expect it to work right away.

Pros
  • Calipers and parts
Cons
  • Some problems
