OK for the price [Posted on 2008-06-06]
I got a pair of these calipers for those times when I have guests over at my shop. They have the virtue of being cheap and light weight. The lack of a locking screw makes holding a measurement difficult, and two decimal place accuracy means you can be off a few thousands either way due to rounding. For quality work, you will need to spend a whole lot more - my Central calipers were well over $ 100 and are considerably more accurate and feel better. These will get the job done if you are looking for an inexpensive alternative for woodworking, model work or similar, but I would not recommend them for precision layout. When the units arrived, the battery was dead in both, but since a spare was provided for each that was not a major issue. If not for the price, I would have given this tool two to three stars, but it does offer good value for the money.

Good product w/ discharged batteries [Posted on 2008-06-11]
I claimed new batteries and the seller sent 2 new batteries for the 2 calipers

wish it had physical measurements as well as digital [Posted on 2008-06-23]
These calipers work great. The only things I wish it had were actual physical markings on the body for measurements and a depth-guage at the end. Other than that, they work great for what I need them for.

not a bad tool for the occasional user. Takes accurate measurements and is good for tight spaces due to no depth measuring stick. However no depth measuring stick is the only complaint that I have about the tool.
