(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } As the working surfaces are hard plastic, care must be taken with it's use. I've found it to be accurate for most purposes. I have steel ones for when I want to measure machine work, but I use this for generalmeasurement for my model making projects which are mainly wood. A very useful tool at a very goodprice. Can quickly change between metric and imperial but remember to zero it before taking measurements. Very nice large, clear LCD readings and the unit takes standard SR44/LR44 1.5 voltbattery. All in all a nice useable cheap unit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fine budget calipers

These calipers are fine for a budget friendly product.The body is a somewhat flimsy plastic but I dare say robust enough for infrequent or light use. No good for heavy engineering or decent sized pipe fittingThey're largely accurate within a millimetre or so so can't be relied on as a close to accurate measure.The display is led style and easy enough to read in good light.It's a small round battery (like a watch) so easy enough to replace when the time comes.For around £5 you can't go wrong.

Does as it should. Easy to read, Feels very lightweight but I’m not going to be putting it under stress.

Set of measureing calipers.They're a bit plasticy the lable sayes they contain carbon fiber so decent plastic but not as good construction as stanless steel. The measurements on the side of the device are stuck on as in, its a sticker and visibly inaccurate. Other than that with a battery in the digital display is accurate enough for my needs and easy to use converting between UK and European measurements and having a zero function. All in worth the money for general around the home measurements. If you need "real accuracy" then you'll need to spend over a tenner for your equipment.On a side note whats with Bolo drivers just abandoning your delivery on your front lawn and leaving? I have a porch, its unlocked, stuff can be left out of sight of the road!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great value and frustrating

They look like they are entirely made of plastic but it seems this plastic is strengthened by the addition of Carbon fibre. This should add strength whilst keeping them just soft enough to not mark the surface of whatever it is you're measuring. You can measure internally and externally and can set the scale to zero at any point, great for measuring differences. You can also switch from mm to inches at the press of a button even after a measurement has been taken. I have two gripes with item. One is that even the slightest movement of the jaw activates the display. This means carrying it in a bag or tool box is not great for the battery but I can see why they did it. The biggest gripe is the battery cover. The caliper takes an LR44 button cell that resides behind a slide-off cover. I say slide-off, what I mean is fall-off. It has no mechanism to hold it in place and is not a tight fit so it is forever falling off if you catch it whilst taking a measurement. It is a real frustration.Gripes aside these are really handy calipers that are lightweight, accurate and terrific value for money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for field use.

Amazing value, love the digital display as it’s dead easy to use. The quality is reflective of price, it’s perfect for use in the field as it’s a simple design. Battery cover slips off every now and again, as it’s a push off design but in the same direction as you push open the callipers, hence four stars. Battery still going strong, dead easy to change😉.
