Anytime Tools Premium Dial Caliper 6"/0.001" Precision Double Shock Proof Solid Hardened Stainless Steel

I have had this calliper for a little over a year now and it is still going strong. I am an aircraft parts inspector and accuracy and repeatability are very important. I have had the cal lab verify it a couple of times with no problems. Easy to read indicator is a plus. I can only think of one drawback with these callipers and that is it does not have automatic shut off. I have left them on for the weekend a couple of times but fortunately it has a strong battery and I have only had to replace it twice so far. The battery cover is excellent, put the battery in and slide it shut, not like those that have a little screw that doesn't clamp the battery in tight and works itself out usually breaking and then no more calliper . When it comes time for another one you bet it will be this one and hopefully they will have an auto shutoff by then

A friend of mine have a very expensive on, I am very happy with the quality of the one that I just got, I just use this micrometer for reloading custom ammo it seems to be very accurate I compare the $300 against this one no difference.

This is an excellent value. Not as easy to read is my digital caliper, but it never needs new batteries. I got a 4" because my 6" caliper did not fit some places. Accuracy seemed a little better than my 7 year old 6" iGauging absolute origin digital caliper. Every gauge block I measured outside size with this dial caliper was right on the mark all across the range (which probably means a bit better than +/-0.0005), very pleased with the accuracy. Accuracy will probably suffer if anything gets in the tiny gear rack. The iGauging is IP54 rated. I didn't test the depth or inside measurement. Seems very solidly made. Did not come with any calibration certificate, but I always check against gauge block set so for me no big loss. A little sharp on some edges, may take a stone and fix that. Only an inch scale, no metric scale like most digital calipers.

Caliper feels solid and smooth. Was dead accurate measuring my 1-2-3 blocks. I would definitely buy again if something happened to this one, or if I feel that I just need another one.

These are excellent for the price. I've used these everyday at work and have had zero issue with them. Not quite as accurate as my brown and sharps but still within 1 thou easily.i haven't dropped them so I can't say anything about the impact resistance. As an overall would definitely buy again if these ever decided to break, don't see that happening, but you never know. I'd put them a step ahead of fowler and Starrett calipers but below brown and sharp.

Easy to read dial face & use.

I bought this because I was in need if a dial caliper with .001" accuracy. I don't like the digital ones, and prefer the mechanical dial. I was working on a project and dropped my old caliper on the floor and broke it, so I was in a rush to replace it, and this was the one I could get the quickest and at a reasonable price.The performance of the instrument is fine, and the accuracy is as advertised, and it meets my needs, but I just don't like the ergonomics of the handle. I am accustomed to always using the wheel for fine adjustments, and the shape of the handle gets in the way of my thumb. It's probably just a matter of personal preference, but it feels awkward for me.

Inexpensive - made in China - but the tool is accurate.
