    Plastic? That has to be about as much use as a plastic vernier caliper

      These are great for electrical isolation. Measure batteries and electronic components.

        Irrelevant, it's exactly the same as the calipers in your post. So whether they slap a brand name on it or not, you're still getting the same calipers.

    This is not a vernier caliper, just digital caliper, there is no vernier scale.

    • Spam Service on 21/10/2017 - 18:49

      You're right - there is no vernier scale - but 'digital vernier caliper' is a common term used for digital calipers that are used in the same way as vernier calipers. If you google 'digital caliper' most of the items listed will be listed as 'digital vernier calipers'.

  • ozturtle on 21/10/2017 - 19:50

    I got the exact same one from Aliexpress (minus the rebrand printed on) and its horrid. You open the calipers to measure something and the screen units go up into the hundreds of millimeters and changes randomly. I ended up getting my money back.

    Its nice as a ruler with two endpoints that can grip though.

    • endotherm on 22/10/2017 - 02:58

      I find the all metal ones start to creep the more you open and close them in a session. I can't trust the reading on these without resetting the caliper and measuring 3 or 4 times and take the average. The carbon fiber ones that use capacitance seem to be very stable and accurate to a very small fraction. Being carbon fiber they are a lot stronger than just plastic ones, and I've never damaged one. They shouldn't be tossed around in the first place.

  • AustriaBargain on 21/10/2017 - 19:53

    Okay can anyone recommend a good one around this price if this one is so bad?

    • silverrat23 on 21/10/2017 - 20:38

      $2 at Super Cheap Auto. Sure it's plastic, but at least it won't give out awfully inaccurate measurements.

        Thanks, pretty sure my uni used the same ones, ha.

    • trongy on 22/10/2017 - 00:12

      Good quality vernier calipers will be accurate to 0.05mm and prices will start at $100. They are made of steel.

      These calipers will be accurate to around 0.5mm - the same as a plastic ruler, but can be more convenient to use. Anything around this price will be about as good.

    • Jackson on 22/10/2017 - 00:23

      I would recommend any that has a vernier scale on it, cheapest one I found in full metal was about the 7 buck mark on ebay when I got mine (actually 6 something). Otherwise get the plastic ones from SCA.

      Reasons are:
      -always ready
      -never buy/ change batteries
      -more accurate/better limit of reading on vernier scale
      -at just as easy to read if half a mm is accurate enough for your measuremts
      -more robust, don't have to worry about plastic of electronics breaking

      • Russ on 22/10/2017 - 01:05
        +1

        There's another good reason to get a non-digital: very few people know how to read them, so it tends to not get "borrowed".

        I have two vernier calipers, neither are digital. One at work, one at home.

      • JMC on 22/10/2017 - 15:01

        Agree with most of what you say, except for 'more accurate'. Typical vernier calipers are good to 0.02mm, while digital and dial calipers are usually good to 0.01.

        For a fixed budget, I'd go with verniers just because you'll get better quality. If money isn't an issue, a set of Mitutoyo digital calipers is hard to beat.

        • Jackson on 22/10/2017 - 20:45

          I was going g off the fact that all the pictures I have seen of these show 3 digit screen, and only one decimal point. I could be wrong, but thats what it looked like

  • scepticpsych on 21/10/2017 - 19:56

    Would these work for measuring car rotors?

  • burkey on 21/10/2017 - 20:59

    I have a bunch of these - they are accurate enough for what I do (only need to 0.1mm accuracy).
    However I've found that even though it's composite, the plastic does damage easy.
    Pretty much the old 'you get what you pay for', so don't expect amazing quality.

    Defies logic…these products from China, sigh. Only reason you would get a digital caliper is to measure things super accurately. Being plastic that will flex, bend, dig in and chew through the material….c'mon people. (I am twitching here…need my medication). Pay a few dollars more and get the proper stuff. Can someone find the steel variant and link it here to save our friends on Ozbargain from ordering these Gearbest and Banggood rubbish tip fillers.

    • nereus on 22/10/2017 - 10:58

      These aren't as bad as you think. For bike components i tested on a seat post that is 27.2mm, and my cheapo digital calipers measure 27.2mm. Measured handlebars which are meant to be 25.4mm and got the correct measurement again. I also use a pair at work for recreating 3D printed parts for repairs.

    I have a plastic one like these and would not recommend.

    It doesn't slide nicely like the metal ones. It doesn't have the thumb wheel either. It flexes and really feels like a cheap toy.
    I would pay a few dollars more to get a metal one with thumb wheel.

    • tsimop on 21/10/2017 - 22:44

      Also, remember to buy a battery.

  • sillycattle on 22/10/2017 - 08:11

    This post encouraged me to spend a little bit more and get a stainless steel manual version as it's actually a handy thing to have, but not something I'd use often enough for the digital version to benefit over the drawbacks of a battery and being plastic at this price point.

    Sooo I'm saying if this interests you and you're going for very occasional use you're probably better off with a non electronic version with a vernier scale- even if it's a $2 SCA one.

  • turbodude on 22/10/2017 - 10:55

    I am aware that what I'm about to suggest does not come close to competing with these on price but for those who want something that is accurate and repeatable I would suggest the igaging absolute origin calipers for $59 plus post (https://thewoodkid.com.au/shop/igaging-absolute-origin-digit…). I have both the igaging and an 8 inch set of Mitutoyos (about $300) and have compared them both to a micrometer and a gage block and the igaging is equally as accurate and feels just as good to use I terms of quality. My "non-negatiable" after using may different digital calipers is that they must be "absolute". This means that no matter how quickly you move the caliper it does not lose it's position and will always return perfectly to zero when closed otherwise you can never trust the reading.

  • bryans on 22/10/2017 - 11:20

    Are these good enough for measuring rotors?

    • sillycattle on 22/10/2017 - 13:14

      Yes, but you're arguably better off with a $2 manual one from SCA- cheaper and you can pick it up anytime. As I mentioned above I'm not convinced of the benefits of digital at this price point given manual ones are so accurate.

      Ps: I'm assuming you're not planning on using this often.
