I like the metal housing with the secure battery cover. I had a plastic one before and the battery cover broke and wouldn’t stay on. One minor niggle is the display screen had some small scratches despite being in a poly bag, otherwise it would have been five stars.

Sharp edges on the outside of the jaws needed to be stoned to make them comfortable to use. Straight out of the box there is excessive play in the jaws. I previously bought a really cheap, Chinese, generic set of digital calipers. They lasted seven years of hard use and still had no discernable play in them when the electronics finally gave up - my fault I left them out in damp conditions. I still use them as comparitors. Wish I'd bought another pair of these, they're much better quality.

I wasn't expecting this item to be as good as it is for the price. It is lightweight for what it is and it's also as durable as can be expected for the type of tool it is. Only used it a few times but it is working great.

Feels and looks tougher than I thought from the pictures and is accurate enough to measure internal and external parts on my bicycles so I can be sure I'm ordering the correct size spare bearings and parts. It also sees use at work when fabricating things from sheet metal - great for quickly seeing what thickness off cuts are. Tends to switch itself on when travelling in its case,but easily sorted with a strip of foam to stop it rattling around.
