📏 Accurate Stainless Micrometer for Precise Measurements Review

Pros: * No battery * Simple, reliable design (vernier scale) * Millimeter scale is easy to read Cons: * Inch scale is less than 0.006 inch * Depth scale is about 0.4 mm short ( see photo) * millimeter scale doesn't go to zero (see photo) * inch scale difficult to read, even with reading glasses * no fine adjustment dial (expected at this price) See my recommendations at the end for something the best. I really loved this caliper because I needed a simple measuring tool with no batteries and a…

I bought these calipers for a very specific purpose that required them to be set in place more or less permanently, so I was looking for something cheap and wasn't too concerned with accuracy. They're surprisingly well made considering the price, so I measured their accuracy and repeatability. Both are surprisingly good. If you know how to read a vernier scale, they will read reliably to within 0.05mm and perhaps more accurately (nominally the scale reads to within 0.01mm and 0.001 inch, but…

I bought these for 3D modeling and 3D printing and will probably buy 2 more to make up for them to give to my nephew and son to encourage them to do the same. The caliper I received is well built and does not have the flaws I have heard complaints about and I am impressed with the quality for the price I paid. Most complaints don't make sense to me; perhaps they were written by people who have never worked in a machine shop and only know how to use a ruler. A common complaint I've seen is that…

The quality is excellent. My digital HF caliper also claims an accuracy of .001 inches and also reads to the nearest half-thousandth (.0005 inch). It almost always corresponded to this caliper with an accuracy of half a thousandth. And two other inexpensive calipers matched this caliper. The one I received appears to be correctly built, contrary to some other reviews. However - I thought I could read Vernier, I learned about surveying instruments way back before the advent of electronics. But…
