NEIKO 01407A Electronic Digital Caliper Measuring Tool, 0 to 152 Mm, Stainless Steel Construction with Large LCD Screen, Quick Change Button for Inch Fraction Millimeter Conversions, 1 Count

These are good calipers for the price and perfect for home use. They are sturdy, accurate and the digital display is nice (in, fraction and mm). The calipers slide well when measuring and look great with the black background.

This review is for NEIKO 01407A Electronic Digital Caliper | 0-6 Inches | Stainless Steel Construction with Large LCD Screen | Quick Change Button for Inch/Fraction/Millimeter Conversions. Let me start of by saying that if you need a gauge that is highly accurate and highly precise, you are going to need to shell out some good coin for something like a Mitutoyos. I picked up this NEIKO caliper, because I wanted something that was quality and not expensive. This caliper has been excellent so far. It is stainless steel, which was a must. I want it to last, and I wanted something more precise/accurate than plastic. I also wanted something digital for ease of use. This gauge is extremely easy to use. You can scroll through millimeters, inches, and fractions of inches. The display is also easy to read. This also comes with a nice storage case, one battery installed, and a spare battery. The owner's manual fits inside the case, and there is room for a spare battery in the case. The only thing I can say remotely negative is that the installed battery arrived dead, but the spare battery was good. I've already used this multiple times around the house for various things, and I wish I had bought one of these sooner. It has been extremely helpful for multiple projects.

The Neiko Electronic Digital caliper is accurate and easy to use for measuring any thing that requires precise accuracy. The digital display is clear and makes it simple to read measurements without guessing. It feels well made for the price and has held up great with regular light use. Switching between measurement units is quick and convenient. However, the battery often loses connection, causing the display to flicker or reset unexpectedly. Reseating the battery usually fixes the issue, but it can be annoying when you’re in the middle of a project. Overall, it’s a good value and performs well most of the time, but the battery connection problem keeps it from earning a full five stars.

Great affordable calipers for basic hobby work and 3D printing. Obviously they aren't going to be as accurate or quality as machinist calipers that are 4x or more expensive, but they work for my purposes.

Honestly for the low price of $25 I didn't expect much out of these calipers. I figured they would be cheaply made with way to much play in the jaws or slide key... But they aren't! I couldn't believe how well built it was. There was absolutely no play in the slide even at full extension! I've had mitutoyos that had more slop. The measurements are dead on, it claims accuracy at +/- .001 and they weren't kidding. I used a .010 gage block as a reference measurement and the neiko calipers measured it at .0100 I mean if that's not dead on I don't know what is. The fractional readings are also an absolute bonus! finally no more wasting time having to convert a decimal value to a fractional number. Anyway with all those positives I can still point out a few negatives that should be mentioned... The slide itself has no play, with that being said it's so tight in the slot that you can feel it kind of dragging or just not sliding smoothly cause of the friction build up... No problem! Oil the slide with a few drops of air oil, clock oil, or a light gear oil. Do that once a week or monthly pending how often you use them and that slide moves like butter. The next negative is the buttons, they don't always register when you depress them... Again it's not really that big of a deal but if it doesn't work 100% everytime then regardless it's still a problem. The last and final issue is probably the biggest and this is going to really depend on the application your using these for... But the jaw tips are fairly thick, significantly thicker than the jaws on a set of mitutoyo this does limit your ability to get those jaws into super tight spaces. For instance if you need to determine the shank size on a small bolt say like a 1/4 - 20 the neiko calipers jaw tips will not fit between those threads. So in hindsight, that really does limit effectiveness. If you need that kind of flexibility and absolute precision obviously mitutoyo is the way to go... If you don't save yourself about $175 and buy a set of Neiko digital calipers! Last and final opinion... I was reading through several of the previous comments and alot of people seemed to be complaining about screen issues or zeroing issues.... Did yall ever happen to think "oh well maybe the battery is dead or dying"??? These calipers come with a battery already installed, and who knows how long they were sitting on a shelf before being shipped out. Batteries don't last forever folks! My best advice is when you get the calipers delivered first thing you need to do is just simply change out the battery with a new one. They take LR44 and will also accept SR44 batteries. So buy a set of neiko calipers today, go get you a pack of LR44 batteries tomorrow, stare out the window, and wait for that Amazon truck to roll on up!

I've had this Neiko tool for 3 years and have been very happy with the features of the caliper for my occasional use. It has all of the common standard measurements units at the push of a button. It can be zero-ed anywhere along the length. Although I can't comment of the precision of the absolute accuracy, measurements are repeatable. Easily perform inside measurements. Mine came with an extra battery, which was a nice touch.

I went years without one, now I love having the tool. Just buy one folks. Review 'Project Farm' Youtube page for a review on digital calipers to ensure you find the right one for your price range. IMO, this one delivered phenomenal results at budget prices.

There's some debate over whether or not the item arrived within the 2-day shipping window, but I'll put that aside for now. The digital caliper comes in a dark grey/black plastic case that snaps together (9 3/4" X 3 1/2" X 1"). Mine came with a hairline crack in the lower left section, next to the hinges. Upon further inspection, the crack became larger, and ended up being a piece of plastic 1" long in my hand. Nothing a hot glue gun couldn't fix, I guess. Still, disappointed a brand new product arrived in defective shape. Unacceptable. That's the negative. However, the working part of the package is actually quite functional. The Neiko Tools, USA digital caliper is accurate to within 0.03mm/0.001", and has a repeatability rate of 0.01mm/0.0005". The small, one page folded owners instructions advises the owner to take three separate measurements, then take the average of the three for greater accuracy. The LCD display screen (1 1/2" X 1/2") is large enough for almost anybody, but it is not back lit. It came with one silver oxide 1.5V LR44 battery installed (supposedly good for one year of continuous use) and a spare as well. The screen will flash to warn of a low battery. In addition to the inner and outer measuring caliper is the highly accurate depth measurement probe, made of the same hardened stainless steel. The caliper is equipped with a serial output for interface with a host computer or printer. I haven't tried that yet, but that should be interesting. Note: It does not come with the corresponding serial output cable. The screen has an auto off function to save battery life, and comes on automatically when being used, or you may choose to use the on/off button, and reset zero. The display can be zeroed at any point on the slide. The display can instantly be converted from SAE to Metric and back again with a press of a button. The caliper itself is made of hardened stainless steel. On the back of the LCD screen is a metallic, adhesive sticker with a couple of tables of screw thread standards for your convenience. I don't foresee these coming into play for me, but one never knows. More information, in the right context, is a good thing. As for ergonomics, the machine-grooved thumb-roll mechanism makes it easy to operate, and the position lock for sure readings works reasonably well. All parts are superbly crafted, from the precision ground jaws to the lettering on the back scale. This is a delicate instrument. One must be willing to take one's time and learn to operate it smoothly. It's ever so very sensitive, ready to measure the tiniest of things. If you're not interested in anything past the the first decimal, then maybe a tape measure will be more to your liking. Also, remember to give this tool a little oil maybe twice a year, if you're using it frequently. It will corrode eventually, like anything else. Overall, very pleased with it. Almost gave it a four because of the darn case being broken and all. If treated properly, it should serve you well for many years to come. All this for under $20!

Received goods as described, shipping is per planned arrive date and a well packed shipment

The materiality is great, it looks and feels like a quality item however I have owned it for approximately 6 months and in that time I've used it perhaps a dozen times. It is stored indoors in a steel work bench inside of its hard carry case. Now the digital display is glitching and does not maintain a reading. Edit: turns out a battery replacement solved the issue

Absolut schlechte Qualität, direkt zurück geschickt

No les mentiré, tengo un vernier mucho mas caro que es mejor, pero el precio de este vernier es muy bueno y las diferencias por el precio realmente hacen que este vernier sea ideal para aquellos estudiantes o profesionistas que quieren invertir en un instrumento de medición mas preciso con poca inversión. Tiene algo muy bueno en su display que es un conversor de unidades metricas a unidades standart, y te lo da en fracciones, por lo que es muy útil cuando quieres saber las equivalencias en brocas, etc. Su mismo instructivo menciona que no debes mover muy rápido el vernier para medir, porque se pierde y descalibra. Esto no es una desventaja si solo lo ocupas una vez cada cierto tiempo, pero si lo es si trabajas en una industria donde deberás medir una pieza cada 10s o menos y tienes que medir con rapidez y precisión. Una de las cosas malas, es que gasta mas batería que mi otro vernier, el cual me costo 10 veces mas que este, pero cambiar la batería es fácil y no son tan caras. Ademas de que la cambiaras 1 vez cada medio año si lo usas regularmente o quizá hasta te dure mas tiempo. El cambio lo haces en unos 30s. Excelente Vernier a excelente precio, si eres estudiante y lo utilizas definitivamente debes comprar este.

Comes with a hard case. Super easy to use quality product all around to cut some fine measurements on plastic came in handy for the price. It's pretty damn good and it was compared to very expensive ones on YouTube and still ranked in 5th or 6th which is impressive on its accuracy based on the price
