Absolutely Essential Aid to Setting Up Woodworking Machines [Posted on 2006-08-01]
My order arrrived quickly and perfect condition. This has proven to be one of the tools I keep closely at hand. It allows me to use the table saw, drillpress, and planer with confidence.

6" Dial Caliiper [Posted on 2006-09-01]
I purchesed this, because the marks on my steel rules are getting harder to see every year. This tool makes it easy to measure with more accuracy than a steel rule, and the dial is easier to see and read.

Digital for accuracy. [Posted on 2006-12-23]
I thought this would be a useful tool, but it is collecting dust in the bottom of my toolbox. I have 3 digital calipers, one with a resolution to half a thousandth of an inch. Most digital calipers measure to 1 thou.
1/128 of an inch is about 8 thou, though the inner scale is 1 ten thou. Not close enough for tight fitting joints. At least not in my book. My router table, planer, jointer and table saw fence all have digital readouts on them. My router table fence has a dial indicator with a "normal" thousandths scale. I guess it all depends on your mindset. I find it much simpler to do the math with decimals (whole numbers with a digit in them) than with fractions.
3/4 minus 1/64 or .75 minus .0156. You don't need a Construction Master calculator to do the second example. Though I can do both examples in my head, I still want to be closer than 8 thou in accuracy. The quality of this tool is fine and is good for the occasional woodworker. Build your next project with quality in mind. Make your joints perfect, not close, cause people will inspect your work.

Necessary Tool [Posted on 2007-08-07]
As a woodworker I find this tool very handy. The dial is easy to see,The tool small,easy to carry and accurate. I use it several times a day.
If you are working boards on the planer and want to get it right, this tool is a must.
I ordered the tool frieght and tax free, and at a good price. What more can you ask for?

Chinese, but good precision  [Posted on 2007-09-24]
I compared the precision with a digital caliper (also Chinese) that I own with only decimal digits display and I found that for a woodworker that works with fractions, is more than enough.
