Review on πŸ“ Enhance Precision with General Tools 1433 Fraction Fractional Caliper by Tom Lantz

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Big budget caliper

Is this the best caliper you can buy? No, far from it. But for a budget caliper it works great! Handles metric and inch both decimal and fractional values. The battery lasts long enough. I believe this one turns off automatically after a while. The plastic case is good if you're measuring something and are concerned that a carbide caliper might scratch it. The small size is useful when measuring objects in tight spaces. The numbers aren't particularly big, but that's the price you pay for a small device. You can carry it in your shirt pocket. It has a pen-like clip on the back and is short enough to fit and light enough not to weigh down your bag. Accuracy is good, maybe to 5 thousandths of an inch. Need more precision? Buy a larger, heavier, more expensive caliper. Do you need a cheap, small and light caliper? It's a good choice.
