Revainrating 5 out of 5

You get what you pay for

Probably worth the money to use around the house twice a year but after a couple of months I smashed mine with a hammer and bought the Mitutoyo calipers I use in First should have had Key concerns include: Battery life: Like all cheap calipers with handy wake-up-on-move features, they're actually always on, so be prepared for your battery to die every few months, too if you never have one. use. Oh yes, because of the horrible battery door, I ended up breaking it. Good luck with the quick swap while you're in the middle of a project. Rough slide: If you've never held an old Starret or Mitutoyo caliper in your hands, you'll never notice, but they really are somewhere between $10 junk and real calipers. This becomes annoying after many repeated measurements. On the plus side, the accuracy was good enough for my needs based on a few blocksets I tested with. If you just need something cheap, take it. But if possible, do yourself a favor and buy a big brand.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
