NEIKO 01407A Electronic Digital Caliper Measuring Tool, 0 - 6 Inches Stainless Steel Construction with Large LCD Screen Quick Change Button for Inch Fraction Millimeter Conversions, Digital Caliper Measuring Tool

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.

So far so good. this thing accurately measures even wires down to .007 inches. came in handy for a bunch of projects. Good to have on hand, so fast standing up to the test of time.

UPDATE 2: They apparently mailed a replacement caliper to my old address from the original order, but because I moved it got returned to them and they finally reached out to ask for my current address—a month later. I didn’t even realize they were sending me a whole new caliper. Not complaining (giving back a star), but better communication would’ve helped. Original review stands, it's a solid budget caliper. UPDATE: I emailed them about the issue, and they asked for a video and the order invoice. I provided both but have been ghosted for nearly two weeks now—no reply at all. On the bright side, I figured out the issue was the battery and not the caliper itself. For hobby 3D printing, this caliper is precise enough. However, compared to my iGaging caliper, the jaws are less precisely constructed, and the body is made of plastic. It’s nearly impossible to get accurate readings without the digital display. The supplied battery lasts about a year (less with heavy use). There’s no clear sign the battery is dying until the digital display starts acting up: numbers bounce around randomly without touching the calipers, the buttons make things worse, and the power button stops working. A fresh battery fixes this, but it’s an annoying quirk. Overall, this is a solid budget option for hobby use or occasional tasks. Just make sure to have spare batteries on hand—they’re cheap and will save you some frustration.

I got the 12in caliper, and this thing is much bigger than the 6in or 8in. While reading that, i know that you're probably like duhhh. But no, it's literally a scaled up version of the 6in one. You can tell that someone created the 6in caliper, then in the software, they just 200%'d the 6in one and called it a day. I figured the 12in caliper would be the same size, just longer, but it's literally 2x as big in every aspect, the head is 2x as big, the screen, etc.. QUALITY: So the quality seems top tier. It feels really tough. This thing is going to last a while, for sure. Slippage / Accuracy: So I've noticed that if you move the caliper quickly, it will have slippage, way more than the plastic 6in one I have. I could zoom the plastic one back and forth and it would never lose accuracy. But this one you can not. You HAVE to use the wheel or it will throw off the measurement. Weight: It's heavy af, way heavier than it looks, which is probably why it feels sturdy and feels like it's going to last forever. Overall, it's 8.5/10. If it didn't have slippage, it would be perfect. But there's no reason why you can't just always use the wheel. When I say it has slippage, it's not bad or anything.. it only happens when you zoom it back and forth a few times. I could never get my plastic one to slip, whatsoever, no matter how fast you went. This one, not so much. But again, as long as your using it at normal speed, it's perfect.

Very nicely made Caliper. The added bonus of it showing fractions has already been a handy feature I have used a few times. The bottom line is this, if it became non-functional through my own carelessness, I would buy another no-question HOWEVER..... after two months of use I am finding the two font sized readout very annoying, Otherwise it has worked well but I do not understand why it was decided to make the second, third and fourth numbers after the decimal half the size . If someone only needs it for coarse measurement then having the first two numbers predominate makes sense but I personally find the two sized readout less than Ideal and I am looking at other calipers that show the readout all in full size

Buen calibrador, mide en milímetros, milésimas de pulgada y fracciones de pulgada. Comparé su precisión contra un Mitutoyo análogo y es bastante preciso, por el precio está muy bien. Lo que no me gustó fue que la pila venía ya dentro del vernier y pues ya estaba descargada cuando lo encendí por primera vez, me marcaba error. Solo tuve que cambiar la pila y problema resuelto. Recomendable producto.

La mejor opción barata, este ya es de por sí sensible entonces una opción más barata seguro se rompe con verlo. Con cuidado y precaución de seguro dura otros 10 años más y por ahora lleva 6 meses funcionando perfectamente. Buen producto, sin quejas por el precio.

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
