Product Description
When you require exact measuring, you reach for a caliper. But an accurate measurement is meaningless if you can't read it accurately. This caliper takes an essential tool into the 21st century with an extra-large LCD digital readout for exact internal and outside measurements accurate to .001". Instantly converts from SAE or Metric, the display can be zeroed at any point on the slide. Machine-grooved thumb-roll mechanism and position lock for sure adjustment. Hardened stainless steel shaft with depth-measurement probe, precision ground jaws. On-off switch with auto-off, two long-life batteries included (one extra).

I bought this for my dad (to be used on his bike) and he definitely appreciates the product. We both would recommend it.

I bought these calipers because I didn't want to have to spend $100+ on calipers just yet, and was pretty excited when they arrived. They feel pretty solid overall and come in a decent plastic case. The LCD is nice and big and very easy to read. I had them for roughly a week and finally got to use them to measure a small part. I noticed that the wheel that moves the caliper head was very difficult to turn. I picked them up a week later while I was on the phone just to look at them, and the wheel assembly snapped right off! Screw that! The plastic holding the wheel on broke right off... and I don't have monster hands or anything. I was just observing the calipers and bam, no calipers... I might have had a lemon, but I keep remembering, "You get what you pay for".
Didn't work out of the box. November 23, 2008

When this arrived, I noticed right away it only had one scale on the rule, metric, in large simple numbering and crude scaling, NOT the dual SAE and Metric like in the photos.
I tried turning it on, nothing. Tried the new battery it comes with as a spare--and the digital read out came on for a few seconds, not giving any useful measurement information. Then the liquid crystal display kind of fluttered and froze up. I checked the instructions, which are crudely translated english, and found them to be worthless for troubleshooting this problem.
Putting some finger pressure on the battery case would cause the LCD screen to flicker a bit, but nothing.
The calipers then went back in the case, then in the box and off to the post office for a return...
great price and fast delivery October 31, 2008

I was amazed to find the calipers in the mail within a day of ordering. Exactly what I ordered without excessive packaging. I wont hesitate to order from this company in the future.
Great for even twice the price! July 15, 2008

I wasn't sure what to expect when I unboxed these. They come in a plastic hard-shell case with rigid foam inserts and something about the inconsistent sheen of that brittle-looking injection-molded black plastic case just screams, "Made in China." But the calipers themselves are more than true, sturdy and accurate enough for most hobby uses.
I bought these calipers for reloading, hoping that I could get accurate measurements down to the 1/1000 of an inch and was not disappointed. For my purposes, these work really well.
One thing I will mention, is that like many catalog pictures, the one in this item's description is a little misleading, as the blue background on the display in the stock photo somewhat hints that the display is backlit--which is not the case. Of course, nowhere is this promised, but it's still somewhat misleading.
