Tools and Hardware Reviews of Oshlun MTDCF-06 6-Inch Stainless Steel Fractional Dial Caliper

Customer Review: DISAPPOINTING
Summary: 1 Stars

I was really looking forward to getting these calipers, because I really liked the design of the dial. Still do actually.

Unfortunately, the rough operation and the fact that it wouldn't hold zero even ONCE in a row meant that I had to return it.

Problem list:

1. Poor machining leading to rough rack & pinion engagement.
2. A "gravelly" sensation while operating.
3. The sensation of a "hump" that the gear needed to get over as calipers were opened.
4. Operation: Close caliper & zero. Open and measure item. Remove item and return jaws to starting point. At this time the needle should be pointing exactly at the spot you "zeroed" it to originally. Unfortunately, no matter how many times I operated it and went through the procedure, the needle never returned to zero.

I'm afraid that I will have to give this tool a single star. I still like the design, but a measuring device is supposed to accurately measure. Aesthetics are supposed to be a bonus, not a sole redeeming value.

I blame myself really. I should stop being a cheapskate and just buy a Starrett.
