Review on 🔧 Starrett 79B 12 Outdoor Spring Caliper by Brian Delgado

Some things are beautiful in their simplicity when they are well made. These calipers fit that description. Something so simple can easily be made cheaper and worse. Fortunately, Starrett resists this temptation. I bought a pair of these to use with my wood lathe about six weeks ago. Not only do they work well, they're fun too. The tips are circular ground and polished. This means little risk of spoiling the work. They hold the setting and can be adjusted quickly and easily. So they're easy to praise, like all my Starrett instruments. When I chose to pay the price for Starrett quality I was never disappointed. And that goes for more than a dozen of their products that I now own.
