Tools and Hardware Reviews of Carrera Precision 6-Inch Titanium Digital LCD Caliper Micrometer
Customer Review: ACCURACY FIRST
Summary: 4 Stars
First impressions are the most important. In the case of this digital caliper, that's unfortunate.
See the two attached images showing the entire Owner's Manual. It consists of one page printed on front and back and is for a different caliper. One image shows 2 screws on the front of the battery compartment. On the actual digital caliper, the screws are located on the back, side by side. The deep-well screw is for the battery compartment. The shallow-well screw removes the wheel and retainer. The Owner's Manual does not show this. Also, the battery inserts the same as in most watches with the positive (+) side facing out. This information is not included with this caliper, but it has been with every other quality digital precision instrument I've ever purchased.
The impressive product description on the product-information page sold me. However, none of this enticing product information is included with this caliper. No where on this caliper or in the Owner's Manual do the words Titanium or Stainless Steel appear.
I have two quality dial calipers. Both have "Hardened Stainless Steel" engraved into the metal just like the caliper pictured in the Owner's Manual.
With this digital caliper, it is left up to the consumer to completely trust all of the information listed on the Amazon.Com product page. In the past, I have found the product descriptions of other items made in China not to be entirely correct. I like to see important features like high-quality metal either embossed, engraved or included in writing along with the product.
The next thing I noticed was what seemed to be a slight bow in the scale bar. I measured it to be .050" or 1.27mm along the length of the scale. Luckily, it did not affect the accuracy or the movement of the slide bar. This suspected flaw might very well be designed into the tool for some unknown reason, but I seriously doubt it.
My other dial calipers are perfectly straight.
I tested the accuracy using brass objects of known dimensions and also against my dial calipers. All were in harmony. This caliper is accurate. It feels solid and is polished. The only blemishes and nicks I found were on the ridges of the deep well housing of the battery screw.
The plastic snap-shut case is durable and the shaped-foam interior affords adequate protection.
I will get good use out of this instrument. In many of my projects like reloading or clock work, I double check every measurement using two different calipers. Accuracy is the most important feature, however, this caliper is not 5-star precision quality.
