Nice [Posted on 2000-09-08]
I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly suprised when it arrived. It comes with a nice wooden foam-lined case, and an extra battery. It has a nice operational feel to it, not like a cheap set of plastic calipers. Only caveat is the digital display part and battery holder are plastic, and probably would crack if dropped. The rest is stainless steel, and overall I would say it's a great set of digital calipers for the money.

Amazon/Chicago; value? [Posted on 2000-12-11]
This same caliper is available from Chicago Tools directly for around $60. (That's right; sixty---not one hundred-sixty---U.S. dollars.) Forewarned is forearmed.

BTW, it's a perfeclty fine cheap digital caliper; once you've owned one you won't understand how to get along without one.

May need to clarify the description... [Posted on 2004-06-22]
Greetings,

I ordered two of these unit for use in my architectural woodworking plant. The units seem well constructed, and I think they will work nicely for me.

However, someone may need to clarify the description of the case. The "wooden" case is a misnomer. One case was plastic with a woodgrain look, while the other was simply a plastic case. I would have prefered the wooden case, but c'est la vie.

Good bargain [Posted on 2008-07-27]
These were a good pair of digital calipers, I have used them for over two years now and have had no problems what so ever. I even purchased a second pair as a gift. They even included a spare battery, which I still have not used, and considering that I use the calipers five days a week, I find this impressive.
