iGaging 100-333-8B IP54 Electronic Digital Caliper, 0-6" Display Inch/Metric/Fractions Stainless Steel Body

Good quality product, works as expected and arrived on time. Easy to use and good value for money. Very satisfied with the purchase.

I'm not an expert, and I can't vouch for the detailed accuracy of these callipers, but they are a very handy bit of kit if you do all your own bike maintenance. I use them to assess brake pad and rotor wear, tyre tread depth, etc. I take the view that if I'm using the same callipers all the time, even if they are a little out I can still judge the wear of important components.

Very happy. Cost-effective 6inch digital caliper that handles well. Easy to handle and holds zero repeatably. Easy to read in mm (2 dp), inches (3 dp with the half-thou) and fractions (of 128th of an inch). Bought to help quick reads in thous (of an inch) for checking string gauges on guitar and ukulele repairs (rather than converting a manual metric caliper). ASME (US) calibration included. Spare Batt (CR2032), batt cover plate screws and small crosshead screwdriver included. Nice case for the inspection gear shelf too.

According to the calibration certificate its tolerance is +-0.001" (+-0.0254 mm) for outside, inside and depth measurements. Outside test measurements: 0, 1, 3, 4, 6 inch. Inside: 0.2, 1 inch. Depth: 0 inch. Comes with a spare battery and a nice foam case. Also, it's rated IP54. Seems overkill for a caliper but if you need to do measurements outdoors in the rain... Why not.

RESUMEN Si buscas un vernier confiable, preciso, robusto (construcción de acero templado REAL), a un precio super accesible, no busques más. ¡Lo has encontrado! ------------------------- LO BUENO: • Confiable: La medida es siempre la misma sin importar si mueves el cabezal rápido en el cuerpo. • Material: Esta echo de acero templado. ¡Todo! Las mandíbulas, el cuerpo, la escala de profundidad, bueno el display es de plástico, pero es normal. • Acabados: El maquinado es de muy buena calidad, no es perfecto pues tiene algunos bordes afilados donde no debería. No son bordes que te pudieran cortar ni nada como eso, pero si podrían dañar tu superficie de trabajo si es por ejemplo de madera y lo arrastras sobre ella. • Robusto: ¡Nada se mueve sin que tu intervengas! Las mandíbulas no se mueven de un lado a otro como en los vernieres chinos. De igual manera, si fijas la mandíbula a cierta medida con el tornillo de bloqueo, no se moverá. • Legibilidad: El display es grande, y tiene muy buen contraste. • Escalas: Medidas en milimetros, pulgadas decimal y pulgadas fraccional. • Batería: Usa pilas CR2032, que no sólo suelen durar más que las típicas baterías super pequeñas que usan otros vernieres, sino que al menos para mí son mucho más fáciles de adquirir. (además incluye 2) • Precio: Por alrededor de 650 pesos (30usd) no hay ningún otro vernier que pueda competir con la calidad de este. Al menos yo no lo he encontrado (y estuve buscando por más de 8 meses). • Extras: Incluye un par de baterías además de un estuche de plástico duro (se ve bastante más resistente que donde vienen los otros chinos) con espuma recortada a medida para conservar el dispositivo. Se agradece que no sea el estuche genérico de todos los demás. LO MALO: • Es muy difícil ponerle peros a este vernier, pero si no considerara que cuesta 1/4 de un mitutoyo económico podría pedir que la rueda del pulgar tuviera menos juego, y tal vez que las mandíbulas superiores (para mediciones internas) fueran un poco menos afiladas.

I purchased this caliper just to try it out. I was wanting a somewhat inexpensive one for everyday use in my hot, humid, dusty, nasty shop and to help take some of the workload off my Mitutoyo. I must say, this caliper is very well-made and dead-on accurate. I tested it against a 1-2-3 setup block, and it read exactly the same as my Mitutoyo Digimatic. Looks like iGaging reads the customer reviews too as they put the isolation shipping plastic in the battery compartment on this one. Looks like they also addressed the battery tray issue by using a screw hold down. In addition to a spare battery, they supplied a small screwdriver and a couple of extra screws as well....very nice touch: Thanks, iGaging. The first couple of days with this thing have been great so far. I've quickly come to appreciate that large digital display, especially with my aging eyesight. The overall build quality for a tool in this price range is also pretty well done. IF I had any real con at all so far, it might be the thumb wheel....it's got some play which takes some getting used to, but doesn't affect the accuracy or functioning of the tool at all. It is certainly NOT a deal breaker by any means, especially at this price point. We''ll see how it holds up (including battery life) with long-term usage. And yes, I'd buy it again IF I had to. Overall, I'm well-pleased with it for my needs (cartridge reloading and general shop usage).

I only use it once in a while, so want it to remain in good condition and not lose fidelity when stored - the better quality case helps with that too. So far it's done that well - I'm by far no expert but feeling it has some weight to it and the moving parts don't wobble or jerk but move smoothly, that unlike the [identical looking] $5 knockoffs can sense it really is better made and of good quality steel and other parts. Note for others: if like me it is not used for longer periods do close the jaws AND lock (firm but not over-tight) the slider when stored.

I bought this to use with 3D printing and general use. I've been using it for about a month. I've been pretty happy with this caliper. It seems like good quality. It auto-turns off and it remembers previous reading when turning on. You don't need to zero it every time you turn it on. It can do mm, inches and fractions. Pretty handy device !

Anderswo schwer zu bekommen. Dieser Messchieber aus den USA (in China produziert) ist wegen des Re-Imports leider nicht ganz billig, hat aber eine ausgezeichnete Qualität und Genauigkeit, wie auch die vielen Rezensionen von Käufern in Amerika belegen (Amazon.com). Kein Vergleich zu den unzähligen billigen China-Teilen, die unter diversen unbekannten Marken verkauft werden. Besonders gut: Die Anzeige in Zoll als Bruch. Wer mit amerikanischen Maßen hantieren muss, weiß das zu schätzen. Einziger Kritikpunkt: Das Batteriefach schließt bei dem vorliegenden Gerät nicht so stramm wie es sollte. Das ist vermultich nicht bei jedem Gerät so, aber auf einen Tausch habe ich wegen der hohen Versandkosten verzichtet.
