Worth spending more on Mitutoyo

Bought these after buying the cheaper version at about 1/3 the price. This caliper was inaccurate and poorly designed. I left a review with photos. This is beautiful, slick, easy to read and finely crafted.

Pros
  • Hardened stainless steel construction with a satin chrome finish to protect the caliper
Cons
  • Doubt it

Nothing beats the analog scale

I wanted a digital scale but prefer a learning curve to a vernier scale and would like to learn how to read analog measurements before going digital . I haven't had a good chance to use it yet, but I know I'll be glad to have it when the time comes. Feels sturdy, stiff and doesn't have a lot of sag. And for the price I paid to get the Mitutoyo name on it, I can't complain at all.

Pros
  • Meets Federal Accuracy Specification GGG-C-111B
Cons
  • A few minor things

Poor finish of the caliper

As one of the previous reviewers noted, Mitutoyo clearly has quality control issues or just plain low standards. My god this is a precision tool, how can it be asymmetrical and poorly machined?! The lower caliper tips are asymmetrically contoured (see figs 1 and 2), the spacing between them is asymmetrical (although this should not affect the measurement). One side of the top ruler is poorly finished with a rough, uneven edge (Fig. 3), the edges are not flat all around and most of them haveโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Raised sliding surfaces to prevent damage and wear of the graduations
Cons
  • Long delivery time
