Works great. I still have a few calipers from different brands, one digital and one with an analog dial. They're all very similar in sample size, and this sample is right there, so I trust it. Fast and easy to use with a large display. The only difference is that the inches I use have the first two digits very large, the rest much smaller. So 1.2345" has big 1 and 2 and small 3, 4 and 5. It takes a little getting used to and I'd rather have all the numbers the same size, but I can live with that. Hard plastic, keeps the calipers safe and tight. For the protective shockproof transport this is a great case. Difficult to open though, so in everyday use I keep it in a cheaper but more convenient case of another caliper. I recommend this caliper and would buy it again. no others.
