Review on Mitutoyo 505 738 TXWW Caliper Carbide: Precision Measuring Tool for Accurate Measurements by Ron Houston

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I used one for 20 years and then.

I used the same caliper for 20 years as a professional special effects model maker in Hollywood. This was my choice because I could draw lines with sharp carbide jaws and it didn't affect the accuracy of the tool. Fantastic caliper, in every way. (See what I did there? Never mind.) Now I'm mentoring a young master/artist and I wanted to set him up for success. A good tool inspires good work. I bought this for him and put it in the pocket of a Kevlar apron which I had also given him (along with an old Rabone and Chesterman machinist's angle!) and he was amazed. Do it for yourself and make it better! Just ask my Oscar!

Pros
  • Dial Caliper
Cons
  • I'll write later
