Tools and Hardware Reviews of Pit Bull 6 Inch LCD Digital Caliper with Extra Battery and Case
Customer Review: An other proof of chinese quality
Summary: 1 Stars
I have thrown it to garbage after three days of use (literally).
Battery compartment cover was sliding out all the time and battery
was falling out untill I fixed it with electrical tape.
Then the flat spring, which holds the sliding part of the caliper
shifted from its right position and unit became lose and lost "precision".
When I tryed fix it the depth measuring rod broke off. What a POS...
$18 for three days. I use Mitutoyo caliper at work for last 12 years.
Customer Review: Poor Quality
Summary: 1 Stars
I know it's not meant to be the best caliper in the world, but this is plain trash. I ordered two of them and one of the cases was cracked into several pieces. The caliper in that one would not "zero" itself when I hit the button. And the other caliper would not consistently go back to zero after using it several times. Both of them would not slide smoothly because it felt like some metal grit stuck inside the sliding parts, probably leftovers when the metal was milled. Don't waste your time with this.Customer Review: Surprisingly good for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
These calipers are surprisingly good for the price. This is about all you'd ever need to pay for calipers, it turns out, unless you need laboratory-quality results. I use mine for precision handloading and they're definitely good enough. The one minor complaint I have about them is that they tend to lose zero when you turn them off; close the jaws at 0.000, and then turn them back on later, and they might display as much as 0.002. Fortunately, resetting the zero is just one button press away.Customer Review: Good buy for the money
Summary: 4 Stars
The digital caliper is reasonably accurate and sturdy for the money. It does tend to go off calibration frequently but considering I bought it for a HVAC class it has done good work so far and I can live with having to reset it regularly. Also, the extra battery that was supposed to come with it got lost along the way, I never got it. Instead I bought a pack of ten batteries here at amazon for 2 bucks and I'm happy with that. I would say that for the money this caliper is a good buy.Customer Review: For my purposes it is great
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this caliper for about 7 months now. For my purposes I have been very happy with it. I needed the tips to be a little finer to get into tight spaces so I used a heatless stone to grind down the tips to make them more fine. I do not need it to be very accuate and 6 inches was a little long for me (wish I had gotten the 4 inches). I recently had to change the battery - but it came with a replacement. Overall - happy with my purchase and the deal I got!
