Adoric Digital Caliper, Caliper Measuring Tool Stainless Steel Vernier Caliper Digital Micrometer with Large LCD Screen, Easy Switch from Inch Metric Fraction, 0-6" Caliper Tool for DIY/Household

I really like these digital calipers. They are much heavier and tighter (i.e. no slop in the mechanism) than the really cheap ones I bought first. The very large digital screen is easy to read and is a huge upgrade over the cheaper ones. I strongly recommend paying the extra $5 or so to get this one.

These are available in plastic or metal for a few $$ more, well worth the extra cost. The display is bright and easy to read. It is well made and solid. I can't speak to the accuracy since I don't have anything to compare it to, but it works for me as-is.

Actually, I ordered these calipers to destroy them. I modified them to be used as a digital readout fixture on the tailstock of my metal lathe. The measuring jaws were cut off and the slide was cut down to half its length. That being said, I discovered in that process the steel is very hard. I presume it is stainless steel, so they are very durable. The digital readout is quite large and easy to read….which is perfect for my application, but if I was to use them as they are designed, I wouldn’t like them so much…the instrument is heavy and too large for my liking for hand-held work. I compared their accuracy against another pair of calipers and they matched up fine. For $15, they are worth it and probably more.

Great quality especially for the price. Recommended

It's solid, even more so than my stainless set I've had for decades. And so much easier to read. I like that came with a case so it doesn't get beat up in my shop.

Solid, very smooth SS digital caliper with case, screwdriver and extra battery at a very good price point.

Pros: • Has a large display (larger than most digital calipers) • Can display Fractions (along with mm & decimal inches options) • Units are displayed to the right of the number • Slides well, has a micro adjust wheel, and a lockdown pin on top • Uses commonly available CR2032 cell Cons: • Poor user interface (Zero and Power share a button) • Somewhat heavy • Too easy to accidentally zero out the caliper, resulting in wasted time I've had a plastic, Swiss made, General brand, dial analog caliper i've used to decades. It gets a lot of use, i treat it well, and it has held up well. I use it all the time to determine what size drill bit to use. I decided it was time to get a fractional digital caliper, to streamline my measurements. I have a non-fractional Harbor Freight digital caliper i rarely use, because it uses button cells (which i never seem to have on hand). I wanted a caliper which uses a CR2032 coin cell, and does fractions. I bought this caliper for use at a secondary location, and a more expensive Kynup (at nearly twice the price), to use as my primary. Ultimately, i decided to return this one because of its two-button user interface. The power button does double duty as a Zero button. Unfortunately, a short press on it zeros the device, whereas a long-press is required to power it off. If it were the other way around, i likely would have kept it. Since zeroing is something seldom needed/used by most people, and powering off will be needed by virtually everyone, a long-press should be required to zero. It may seem like a small thing, but it is far too easy to accidentally zero it when you don't want to (in part because of the position of the button on the device), which then requires closing the caliper, zeroing once again, then retaking your measurement. And it is incredibly annoying to have to do a long press simply to turn it off. This is especially problematic if you have other calipers with a proper user interface, as you have to remember that this is the one works differently. Engineers should be required to use devices they design. At the very least, the design team should consult actual users. (Think: Deming Quality Circles.) My Kynup has a dedicated Zero button (placed at the top, where it's unlikely to be hit accidentally), and the power button powers it off immediately. Proper design; what a joy! And because of its power button placement, i've never turned it off accidentally, but should i, it's a simple matter to turn it back on, and be immediately back in business. Definitely a keeper. Also, i like its display better. The fractions are bolder, and its use of smaller numerals for less significant digits actually improves readability over this caliper. However, unlike this unit, the units are displayed on the left side of the numbers; a design flaw, but minor enough i can live with it. Bottom line: This caliper has some nice features and will get the job done. If it's your only caliper, and you don't use it very often, it may be adequate for your needs. However the Kynup is much more of a joy to use, so was worth twice the price to me. Sometimes the little things really make or break a product. I still want a second, inexpensive caliper, so have the graphite-composite WEN 10761 on order to replace this caliper. It has a dedicated zero button, so am hoping it powers off immediately when the power button is pressed, like the Kynup. And being plastic, i'm hoping the weight will be more to my liking (i.e. similar to my plastic analog caliper). I expect its display isn't as large, but i can live with that. The photos below show this caliper, and the Kynup below it, for comparison. The two weigh approximately the same, thus both are heavier than i like. The maroon tinge on the display is an artifact of the camera and natural sunlight. Both display backgrounds, in real life, look like the Kynup's in these photos.

A lot better than the garbage plastics ones, Those are single use and disposible...
