Review on πŸ“ Accurate and Reliable Plastic Caliper for Metric Measurements: The Essential Tool for Students by Prettyboy Capers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Measures both OD and ID

I was pleasantly surprised that it measures both ID and OD! Accurate for a plastic caliper - I'd say 1/32 inch accuracy or 1/2 mm accuracy if using the metric side. This is normal for my purposes (measuring hoses and pipes). Product description says 1/128 inch accuracy - kidding. Yes, you can use the vernier scale on this caliper for more accuracy, but it's not easy. You can watch this video to learn how to do it: https://youtu.be/vkPlzmalvN4 (If Revain removes the link, just go to YouTube and search "How to read a metric caliper". If If you need that kind of accuracy, it's much easier to buy more expensive digital calibers.Maximum measurement is about 6"3 for $7 - it doesn't get any better than this!

Pros
  • Test, measure and verify
