Readings change by +/- 0.0025, that's 0.005!

Zero randomly changes to 0.001 and my measurements randomly jump 0.005 - 5 thousandths - what a bummer trying to get a reading less than a thousandth. I have other calipers that can sometimes show a change of half a thousandth and usually this is fixed by lever wear or my bad clutch, not a caliper. Those Frankfurt Arsenal calipers are crap and gave me a lot of headaches until I discovered random measurement jumps.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

The calipers are good, I have blocks to test them.

Calipers are a good deal, I have blocks to test them for accuracy and they are within acceptable limits after a few months of constant use. In the aircraft industry I have used much more expensive calipers. It's up to work to restart. Delivered on time. Note----Never buy from RELIABLE VALUES. They will make you sleep like a baby. You sleep two hours, wake up and cry, sleep two more hours, wake up and cry and so on and so on for 17 days.

Pros
  • Solid construction
Cons
  • No automatic

2 of 2 arrived broken - vernier wheel held by brittle plastic

Although the photo shows it is a full metal caliper, the vernier wheel is held by a plastic clip. I ordered 2 and both arrived with broken plastic and a floating wheel in the box - I didn't even take them out of the clamshell packaging. Based on the positive reviews and photos I suspect this product has been modified - avoid. I just received a similar replacement from Anytime Tools. and it seems to be more durable (so far).

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Great price
