HARDELLDigital Caliper, 0-8 Inch Measuring Tool Large LCD Screen,Stainless Steel,Auto-Off,Inch/Fractions/Millimeter Waterproof Caliper Digital Micrometer for DIY/Household/3D Printing

This is easy to use and the price was right.

Maybe I missed those 2 details but it was a pleasant surprise. I bought this because sometimes with crafting I have to measure little things ... and this came in handy for beads and baubles.

Does what it should and the accuracy matches my other much more expensive caliper. I use this to take out with me and leave the expensive one in the shop.Only con I have, and it may be just the unit I had received, but switching between inch/mm can be tricky.Switching from inch to mm, I have to hold down the button while turning off the caliper and then turn it back on and release. It doesn't always work on the first try as well. That may be the way it was designed or just a flaw with the one I received but for what I need this unit for, it works fine. The finish is better than expected and the measurements are accurate enough but I would probably buy a different brand if I need another budget caliper in the future.

Handy measuring tool , reasonable price point

These calipers are packaged in a nice hard plastic case with clearly written instructions and a set of batteries. I checked this set against the old (Cheap) calipers that I thought I could get by with as I don't use them a lot. These calipers are spot on as I threw my old set in the trash and checked against a much higher cost set of my neighbors'. I know you get what you pay for and with the accuracy (within .000) checked with a much higher cost set used on a lathe and for other measurements, I am happy I spent the money to justify the calipers.

If you need something that is not 1000% accurate 1000% of the time if you can use something that’s just a little off sometimes this is perfect. I wouldn’t use this on manufacturing of aircraft parts but for home hobbies and for laser engraving and the things that I measure it’s just fine in fact it’s magnificent value.

The display is very easy to read and the operation is smooth. This caliper is very useful for home use like checking the diameter of pipes, verifying the dimensions of a product like watches. It’s made of plastic and I think it’s not intended for machine shop operations. I have a poor eyesight and I have problems with purely mechanical calipers without the LCD display. For its price this is a great buy. I wonder how the company can sell it at this price. The instrument also looks attractive. I’m very happy with this purchase. It would be a nice gift to friends who have a need for precise measurements.

Not bad, using it for school where accuracy is important, but not critical. However, due to the design, this stops measuring at 7.9 inches.
