DPT 6" Dial Caliper

Joel Miller

Amazing for the price

At close to $40 US, I was a little skeptical about buying a cheap tool for a precise measurement but I think it was well worth the money.

As far as negatives go, there was a very small amount of play in the jaws but it’s pretty negligible and the thumb wheel for fine adjustment squeaks and does not sit flat meaning you have to push it down onto the scale to move it but again, it’s pretty negligible.

When I first unboxed it and compared it to my standards I was extremely surprised to see it was only 0.001 out. I recalibrated it and have been using it non stop for almost 6 months now and is still within calibration and repeatable. I’m extremely impressed with this product for the price. If you’re not a machinist and only need to measure to the third decimal place, this is an excellent product.
