📐 Starrett 950 225Mm Caliper with Superior Finish Review

This custom body is a great value with exceptional finish. I love it and would recommend it to others looking to purchase the same type of product.

Decent body, could do with a better interior. Not quite the old hardwood they used to make, but better than most. More cushioning and a slightly better catch would have made it a 5. Good for what it is, but I expected more. This is of course better than cheap plastic and protects the caliper quite well. Of course, don't attack anything heavy.

This review is for the 8" Starrett 950 Digital Caliper (798.799/8). The instrument once came with a wooden Starret case, probably birch, with a glossy transparent finish, lined with felt, containing the Starret Names in bronze, with brass hinges and locks. Below would be shock absorbing legs (maybe leather or felt). I'm going to put rubber feet on this box and consider it "just a box" to protect my caliper. I'll put it in hiding one of the bottom drawers of my tool chest.It's a bit overpriced…
