Tools and Hardware Reviews of Neiko Stainless Steel 8 Inch Digital Caliper with Large Display - SAE/Metric ConversionCustomer Review: Prudy them good Summary: 4 Stars
I use as much a caliper as I do use utensils when I'm eating. It's an extension of my hand. I only get the best (certify Mitutoyo) and I paid for the last one well over 450$ on special. Of Corse it's the have-it all with printer capacity coolant proof and solar power... Well I thought giving a shot to this 8" for 20$. I did carry around my first digital as much as my wallet (they are in the same pocket anyway) and it's getting old (I got it 25 years ago) I have this caliper for a day now. Well I did test it and I would say I'm impress.
Out of the box, un-adjusted, not calibrated or certify I do get the same read-out of different condition and length and it give the same variation or derivation as my fancy one. Mean inside of 8 1/8" I will have a measurement with in .0015" .0030"TTR for 20$. Wow, in't bad... I have friend who use these POC from china and I always smile. Well may be not that much any-more. No it's not certified and calibrated one but does the work. It's very likely will not last 25y but tomorrow I will have this one in my pocket because the display is twice as big...
Pro
-large display, good large angle of view
-fast dimensions acquisitions
-convert SI to inches in a flash
-Easy to zero and keep-it
-battery saver and come back fast and keep the accuracy
-good positive lock (doesn't change the nominal dimension)
-Has the same size and capacity as the "good price one"
-You drop-it or bad thing happened to it, you can afford to have a couple spare one...
Con
-Ruff and sharp, does feel flimsy
-Material quality (not as good as a 250$ basic expensive one)
-no memory
-no printer capacity LOL!!!
-the 4 point of measurement are not 100% associated (can increase the TTR to .005") mean, if you look at a shaft 6.124", the hole can read 6.126" and won't fit because they are both 6.125". If you don't mind at all a thousand, you are in business. Any way if you need to see thousand, you need to read a ten of a thousand mean 1000$ more expensive toys.
I will re-comment, if: The coolant disrupt-it, the battery doesn't last, lost it accuracy, the materiel degrades or gets damage too easily. But for a tool box precision tool, it's very good. Especially if .005" mean not much for you and .0010" dispersion is Ok. NB.: if I need a read-out with in of .0010" I will not trust my Mitutoyo anyway.
