Omex New Spring Caliper 8" / 200Mm - 3 Piece Set Inside Outside Divider

Over my many years, I've often needed calipers. But, I've needed them for the job at hand and always found a workaround so that I didn't have to run out to the store or wait for them to be delivered.However, I recently needed to know the size of a large hex nut (on my RV's wheel covers) and my workarounds twice caused me to order the wrong size. Amazon's liberal return policy meant that I could send them back without a penalty (other than having to take them to the UPS store). Before I guessed again, I ordered these calipers, and then measured the nuts before I ordered the right size socket from Amazon.The quality and size of the calipers was more than I expected. They are well worth the money.

Easy to use to match size. Use them on lathe work. They work for what I wanted. No complaints.

So, they aren’t precision tools. I didn’t pay for precision tools. They do what they should. Needed a little straightening and a lot of cleaning. Will rust without a shot of dry coat.

works long time

For what I'm doing with them (wood lathe work) they are fine. Thanks.

For the money these measuring devices are good. I use them in my home shop and they will work fine.

Nothing fancy here. Just a solid set of spring calipers that work as intended. Ends come fairly sharp which is typically a good thing for machining purposes but as I am using them on wood lathe projects I had to round them off.

Like the other reviewers, they are a bit stiff for use, especially for people with old hands. It takes a while to unscrew and it is not a smooth mechanism. So if you have 5 minutes to spare to unscrew and rescrew to adjust these, go for it
