Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
This caliper is low on price but strong on performance! There is nothing really cheap about this, it is lightweight, due to the fiberglass reinforced nylon framing. But it is accurate, with an easy reading dial and a thumb roller with friction grip stop. The dial has both .01" and 1/64th" increments on the dial, with mm on the bar scale. It's best feature is the 4 way measurement. It does inside measurement, outside measurements, plus a "step/graduation" measurement (height of table saw blade, or router bit) and depth measurements (hole depth). This is a very versitial caliper. I have found it to be very accurate is its readings, it can easily be re-calibrated by turning the glass case cams. This caliper is made in Switzerland for General Tool. A great product that I am very happy with, recommended for all.
