Great value, decent quality, as expected
Most of the other reviewers complains about various issues with this caliper: accuracy, oily, possibility of rust, roughness of edges. All right complains, but they need to be put in perspective. If you are considering the purchase of a vernier caliper you know at least something about mechanics. How many parts made such a device? Building that many, with highest quality material, to the highest possible standard for accuracy (hence sharp) on one side of the part (the "internal") and for user friendly (hence smooth) on the other side (the "external") cannot be made cheap. All manufacturing procedures have tradeoffs. So for the price, this is an excellent product. Is it accurate enough? Yes, mine is accurate to the level of the vernier scale, however a tiny bit wobbly at that level, hence one less star in accuracy. Easier to read. Is it oily? Yes, but for most use that's minor problem. Is it rusty? No, but the manual says that if you clean the oil completely it might become so. Is it smooth? No, it's a bit sharp. If I had time to spare and would use it more often than I do, I'd try to smooth it with a file. But for occasional use it's totally usable. At this price, it totally deserves five stars. Granted, if you compare it with a similar one costing 10x its price, it would barely get two stars, perhaps it'd get even just one. But that would be an unfair comparison, like a race between an accomplished world champion and a random kid in middle school.Ver másVer menos
