Customer Review
- Reviewed in Canada on January 2, 2023This is a great set of calipers that will fit in your bag and be there when you need it. The only criticism I have is with the quality of the finish on the edges of the item, but this is very quickly remedied with some sandpaper, and mine now look like quite an expensive little item.
I noticed that another reviewer was upset that the centerpiece came with a bend in it, but I would suggest that this is a feature which provides spring pressure that helps the centerpiece to not slide freely. To slide the caliper jaws simply put your thumb on the knob, press it to get rid of the bend, and slide to the desired width.
The numbers on my enter stamped deep enough to read easily, and the movement is passable. I may or may not put some grease on the rails so it slides more smoothly, but honestly I don't think it probably needs it.
My main criticism is at the solder joint which attaches the jaw to the centerpiece is not very attractive.
This is a cool, quaint little item, and I'm going to be putting it to good use often.
By the way, if you didn't know, this will measure accurately to a tenth of a millimeter. What you do is you read to the leftmost mark to see what the full millimeter count is, and then you count up tenths until one of the notches matches on the centerpiece perfectly-- that corresponds to the 10th of a millimeter and explains why the smaller gradations are a different size than the centerpiece.
