Questions & Answers

Can you tell me if this is made in the U.S.?

My understanding is that it is not the case. In spite of that, this caliper is of much better quality than others. Plus, it is in a better case, and the fractional feature is a great feature. In terms of value, it is superior to many similarly made Chinese

If it's in fractional mode, is it only displaying If not, then do the numbers display in 32s, 16ths, 8ths, etc when necessary?

You can see the proper fraction (reduced) on this page The 8th, 16th, 32nd, and 64th It's the 64th.

To flip the caliper, flip the digital display so that it is facing downward. You only need the top screw to be removed. Remove the bottom screw that is near the adjustment roller, but do not remove the bottom screw. As the screw appears to be captured by the housing, you should be careful not to misplace it. 1. 2. 3.

Buy this product and don't get your money wasted! In short, nbsp You should steer clear of any calipers manufactured by General Tools
5/5

They do not seem to be very good, according to others who have had them. There's a lot of inaccuracy in this report! 0 will appear on the display if the jaws are closed. The measurements are accurate when they are closed, but when you open them up and move them around, they are I get readings between 5 and 80 (mm) when you close the jaws again. There is always a point when I have to check to make sure that when I measure something, the scale reading is somewhere near the display reading. My return date has passed and I would like to return. You can view the video to see how it works.

It's quite common for me to use many different types of In the past, I've used expensive materials as well as cheap ones
5/5

The caliper shown here is by far the best in the middle class for the money. When the screen turns off, if you turn it back on without moving it, the screen will begin from It is not a defect it is made this way so the battery does not die when it is removed from a drawer and it can still be maintained at zero or whatever its time is. The fact that he still pays for dead batteries bothers me deeply he might not even like it. In another article, it was mentioned that the scale showing the last two digits in half size could change the accuracy, but this doesn't change it at all since the scale is still accurate up to +/- 0. 5% The thickness of a human hair is about five You can bring that pretty close to 2 if you know how to use a caliper. The ten thousandth of a percent. Then again, if you are a nuclear engineer or think you are one, maybe you ought to have more accuracy than Buy a caliper for $300 to $500 or more if you are happy with it. No, I don't make man-carrying rockets or anything like that. I build things out of metal and make wooden things, so 64ths and stuff like that. It is fine with me to use 0005.

This is a great With calipers you can make fractions and I really appreciate this tool's ability to do so
3/5

I have other calipers (which are several) that remember their position on the scale when it is turned on. When I called the manufacturer, they told me these simply reset to zero when turned They do not consider this an issue. The fact that it is not easy was expressed to him, but he did not care about it. It won't matter to me if they are better, but it can make sense to me if they are The first review is as follows I like this tool a lot. Whenever I converted from fractions to decimals and vice versa, I was confused. The conversions are now easily memorized (after I have almost memorized them). This is a great tool!.

There is only one major problem, otherwise it's What an amazing tool! I love it
5/5

As I mentioned, I have a second one, and I like it because it doesn't measure to the 128 th, which doubles the number of numbers to display and makes it confusing when a tolerance of 32" is I really like the feel of The weight is appropriate. A durable material. Can you tell me what's It's good to hear from you. There's no way to change the battery without making an enormous mess. Just a letter is displayed in the instruction sheet indicating where the battery can be found. There are no instructions provided on how to get any of the battery's components, which just happens to be a counter-measure I wish you the best of luck. Throughout my years in the automotive field, I've seen many designs for battery compartments. It's the worst one by far. There's no logic to it at all. It did not come with Adding insult to injury, it comes with a fake battery. You have to replace it with the real one that is so tightly packed in the foam padding that you end up having to tear the padding apart in order to get right to the battery. Then I would rate this great tool five stars if it at least includes clear battery instructions.

It's finally here
5/5

It's terrific to be able to split fractions into smaller numbers. You don't need to convert decimals into 1/4 or 1/16 or 32nds anymore the app does that automatically. With all metal construction, it appears to be very well built. Plastics from this brand are different from those from other There are no bumps in the action. The fact that all three format readouts, decimal, fraction, and metric, are available is fantastic. There are three buttons (switches) for Mode, On/Off, and Zero. They have excellent click-type Despite the flat and clean scales, the metric and inch scales are.

Then they will It came in handy while I was making a double shifter for a np203 (I bought it when I needed something more precise than a tape measure) and when I was in my High School robotics class, I understood its use
5/5

The reason your machine is inaccurate when you close it and zero it usually stems from something else dirty between the rails, and if you don't keep your equipment clean (I didn't so I discovered it that way) worked fine after cleaning afterwards. You can use the fractions setting quite a bit. As well as the depth gauge, it has a picture of the inside surface.

A good value for the price
5/5

This is the second one I have purchased, and I was a little disappointed to discover that they have changed the design so that when the unit is plugged in, it doesn't turn on automatically. It was better the old way, so I am taking one star off the rating for "easy to use. ". Apart from that, I don't have any.
