These items won't interest everyone and I'm aware you can get cheaper 150mm digital vernier calipers but these are better quality units. Not quite Mitutoyo quality but you won't get Mitutoyo for this price.

Thanks

    OP, when you say "better quality", in what way is the quality better?

    Where I work usually buys the Jaycar digital calipers (the $30 ones, not the $10 ones) and they seem to work fine. The only time we've had to "retire" a set of calipers was when they were neglected for a couple of years, and the battery leaked in that time.

    The Jaycar ones are certainly not what I'd call "quality", so I'm curious to know how to compare digital calipers.

    For myself, I have a nice set of non-digital Mitutoyos that are about 20 years old. The best thing about non-digitals is that few people know how to read the vernier scale, so they rarely get "borrowed" from me. The other good thing about non-digitals is that there is no plastic in them whatsoever, they won't wear out in my lifetime, and are unlikely to break.

      Good question applicable to most things (appliances, food, service)
      Its probably a number of things that will vary per user and some of the cheaper ones are ideal for certain situations and just about all DIY.

      How they feel, you know when you pick up a set that just feels rough on the slide and your Mitutoyo is smooth as.
      Or the digital models, do the cheaper ones misread if you open them too quickly.
      Do they have carbide tipped jaws, hows the impact resistance.
      What about the environment in which you use them, will the cheaper ones perform reliably day after day near oil, dirt, water and temperature extremes.
      Its precision engineering, look at the build of your Mitutoyo's.

        Thanks for the answer! I didn't know that calipers with carbide tipped jaws even existed.

    Thats a number of positive votes.. I don't get it. Is this cheap?

    (I understand we're not talking about $10 ones here. But this still doesnt seem cheap for a good quality one?)

    • Russ on 14/01/2014 - 14:25

      Good-quality non-digitals start at $80 and go up from there. Digitals are more expensive again.

    It's still on sale.
