Digital Vernier Caliper, Preciva 150mm Electronic Precision Calipers Measuring Tool with LCD Screen, Micrometer Stainless Steel with Mm/Inch Conversion, Splash Resistant, Silver and Black

I haven't reviewed anything for a long time, but this calliper is such a good buy, I have to say something! I'm starting to care about the accuracy with which I do metalwork. Callipers are one of the first measuring devices a machinist will need and so I did a lot of research. Mitutoyo is often regarded as the gold standard and their version of this calliper; their cheapest digital calliper in the UK, is 112 GBP; it costs seven times more than this Preciva calliper. For the DIY-er or hobbyist machinist, I reckon the Preciva calliper is every bit as good. Accuracy: I have two 'reference blocks': steel 'cuboids' with highly accurate dimensions and precise right angles. They are one of the best ways to check the accuracy of many things, including measuring instruments. This Preciva calliper measured my blocks to .02 of a millimetre, anywhere on the block. That's a guaranteed accuracy of two hundredths of a millimetre in your measurements, equivalent to the thinnest human hair. I don't need more than that! So it's accurate: good. And ... - Its 'frame' is made of stainless steel; this adds mass and dimensional stability. It also feels like a proper tool because it's heavier than plastic callipers: 'tool feel' is a thing! - The features built into it are pro-level and actually useful - The sliding gauge and digital readout can be moved up and down using the knurled part of the black plastic body, BUT using the small metal wheel allows you to move the scale much more accurately, even .01 mm at a time if you're gentle with it. - Then you can hold the slide in place by tightening the screw on the top of the slide. This is useful in ways you will discover as you use it. - using the often-rubbish 'inside diameter' jaws, I was able to measure the diameter of a 3mm hole I drilled with a cheap drill in my drill press. The diameter measured from 2.97 to 2.99 mm. Not only is that accurate, but I could measure such a small diameter with a reassuringly firm grip of the calliper on the hole. I suggest you buy this calliper. It has to be the best value for money calliper available on Amazon UK. PS: I hate Jeff Bezos!

Bought these to replace an old analogue set of vernier calipers that were worn and becoming difficult to read. First impressions: these digital ones are great! It makes it so easy to read measurements - internal, external and depth measurements, as well as length of 'steps'. Really easy to use. These ones come in a nice box with a spare battery, a small screwdriver and fairly decent instructions. You can turn them on/off at a touch of a button or just move the thumb wheel and they will come on. The battery cover just slides off using your thumb. What I do like is that you can zero the calipers on the current size at the touch of a button. So if you have a number of things that should be the same size, zero it on one and then when you measure the others you get a direct comparison without having to do the subtraction. They can also be locked in place at one reading using the top locking screw. I have checked them against my old calipers and they certainly seem accurate enough. Officially they are accurate to 0.02mm although, realistically, accuracy of 0.5mm will be good enough for me for most things. They can also be easily switched between inches and mm. I do like tools that just make the job that bit easier and these do that. While analogue scales are not difficult to read it can be easy to make silly mistakes and the very clear digital readout of these removes that possibility. These feel solid and well made. Very happy with them!

Decent ... bit flimsy but to be expected at this price point ... seems fairly accurate

Having bought some far cheaper ones of these that I didn't find much use overall, I wasn't really sure I needed it as a tool. Then a few days ago I got into a tangle and ended up with a pile of spacers of varying sizes and utmost importance - measuring by tape was impossible, my plastic tool was always out by a mm or two & when dealing with 0.5mm variances it wasnt cutting it, if I wasn't bald I'd have pulled my hair out. So, in desperation I decided to buy this, just hoping it was a bit more accurate... And Wow! Why did I ever buy the cheap plastic alternative, every measurement gives the same result, a couple of hours and I'm half way through sorting out my pile of spacers and they are all coming up within a good 0.02 of listed specifications (they are used so, may just be wear related) and I'm able to sort them out, suddenly a multi-day stress turned into a couple of hours of playing with my new toy and sorting with confidence. It also comes in a plastic box where it clearly wants to live to remain safe, it has a reassuring weight to it - certainly not cheapo tin or anything, this is a solid tool with a very clear display and clearly labelled/defined buttons and the precision wheel is quite good too just for ensuring it's right upto the edge and hold it there for an accurate reading, it's just overall it's a pleasure to use. Brilliant.

Machining is really impressive here, there is zero gap on the jaws when closed. The there is a button to zero the gauges if they end up out when closed but I've rarely had to do that, they zero up nicely when closed up. They measure up accurately each time to a test piece I have to make sure it's calibrated. For the money you can't go wrong.
