These Mitutoyo digital calipers are an absolute game - changer. We initially thought they'd be just for electronics, but once we got our hands on them, we started measuring everything! They're virtually indestructible, a must - have in any toolkit. With their ultra - precise measurements, they're great for measuring components or even picking the perfect blueberry size. The calipers feature a capacitive sensor instead of a rack and pinion, so they stay in alignment even if dropped a few times. One - button conversion between millimeters and inches is perfect for component measurement. We've used the same pair daily for 5 years without replacing the battery. As of February 12th, 2016, they have a slightly different look and model number, but with an improved sensor and the same great functionality. They come with a large, clear LCD readout, and useful keys for zero - setting and unit conversion. Measuring range max is 6 inches, with high accuracy and resolution. Made in Japan, these are truly The Best Calipers On Earth.
Using these Mitutoyo digital calipers is easy. Just open the jaws to place around the object you want to measure. You can use the ZERO/ABS key to set the display to zero at any position on the scale for comparison measurements. The In./mm key quickly switches between inches and millimeters. When measuring, make sure the calipers are properly aligned with the object for an accurate reading. As for maintenance, keep them clean and dry. Avoid dropping them, though they're quite durable. The expected battery life is 3.5 years, but as we've experienced, it can last even longer. If you notice any issues with the measurement accuracy, it might be time to check the sensor. Overall, these calipers are a reliable tool that will serve you well for a long time.
