Overpriced and Inaccurate

The Fowler Xtra Value electronic micrometer is a disappointment in the world of dimensional measurement. When I tried this product, it failed to give accurate readings and was inconsistent with its results. Furthermore, the product is excessively overpriced for its inadequacies. As an industrial and scientific customer, I expected more from this tool. The one positive aspect of this micrometer is its user-friendly display, but that hardly makes up for its shortcomings. Overall, I would not…

Pros
  • Accurate measurements can be obtained quickly and easily.
Cons
  • Requires batteries which need to be replaced periodically.

This device is accurate but feels a bit cheap.

I have used hand held micrometers extensively and am used to the feel of them. This device differs from it in that the thimble is made of plastic and its diameter is quite large. Also, the ratcheting thimble rather than a smaller top piece that sits in the back than traditional mics. I'll keep them, they work fine, but most likely I'll get another set that I like better.

Pros
  • Ease of Use: The digital micrometer features a large LCD display that performs direct conversion from inches to meters and has a switchable resolution of 0.00005 inches/0.001mm; IP54 rating for dust and water resistance
Cons
  • I will add later

Good but cheap item for micrometer and accessories

Very accurate micrometer for the price but not very robust . I wouldn't buy this if you often drop mics on the floor. Good price but old stock; Mine arrived with lots of storage dust on the packaging, a cracked plastic case and a dead battery on arrival. It must have been stored for years before it was sent to me. Also, the packaging was minimal, so it's possible the case was hacked by the USPS.

Pros
  • Data output: Digital micrometer with RS-232 output allowing readings to be exported to a computer (cable not included)
Cons
  • boring packaging
