Tools and Hardware Reviews of Pit Bull 6 Inch LCD Digital Caliper with Extra Battery and Case
Customer Review: Nice caliper...specially for the price!
Summary: 5 Stars
It is no Mitutuyo (which retails for about $90+) and it has one less digit...BUT for most applications this nice little caliper is more than you need. You can have eight of these around the same price! The price figures as a big plus in ranking it, of course, but it works well and it does what it is supposed to do. One small footnote, the steel in the jaws is not very hard (as in a more expensive caliper); it will bend and distort a bit more than you would like it to. But, then again, if you need a top-notch caliper, look at a Mitutoyo or the like. For the price, you can not beat this one.Customer Review: Good value.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this unit mostly because I figured I couldn't lose much for so little money. I have since figured it was a great deal. I even recommended my company to buy one for the shop. They were glad I told them. Everyone I have shown this item has told me they are impressed with the quality of build and the very very low price. It came with everything necessary, such as the hard case (good quality) and extra battery. The instructions are all in English and clear. No need to worry about this one. This vendor shipped my caliper on time and I got it in good shape.Customer Review: Cheap and looks like it.

This was a very cheap caliper and it definitely shows. Functionality-wise it is perfect for my Graphics Communication class but the case came in a white cardboard sleeve with nothing written on it. The inside of the case had slots for accessories that weren't included (they never said any accessories would be included but it's unprofessional in my opinion). Also, the caliper was covered in oil, presumably as a lubricant but even the digital read out was oily, I had to take a cloth to it before I could use it.
Overall, you get what you paid for.
Customer Review: Great so far!

sometimes i need to design templates to hold coins. i got tired of using my old, partly rusted caliper from Sears. i've only had a chance to test it out with a few coins but so far it is accurate to within .02mm! i can't belive (at this time) it was only 11 bucks! a coworker saw it and instantly became jealous. i love that it comes in a well-built HARD plastic case with an extra battery. it even has a line-out slot for something. (no, i didn't read the instructions.) if you need to replace you old busted caliper, i would suggest doing it with this.Customer Review: Worth what you pay for it - no more!

If you think there's some magic and you're getting a precision digital caliper for $9, think again. This is a steel ruler that happens to have a digital readout. I guess the precision would be enough for some applications (e.g., wood carpentry) but I would not recommend it for precision mechanical or electronic applications. In particular, the depth gauge feeler on mine was slightly bowed and did not fit precisely in the guides for it, making accurate measurements with it impossible. Lesson learned, I'm coughing up $85
