Digital Caliper, Sangabery 0-6 Inch Measuring Tool with Large LCD Screen

Good value. I bought 2. They are consistent with each other and tested accurate at various ranges. Each one came with one battery already installed, and a pack of 2 spares. Comments: Strangely, the battery department requires a Phillips head screw driver. It is included. Be very careful not to lose these extremely tiny screws. Hint: Before using - always push the slide closed, take your finger off the slide, and then press the ZERO button to calibrate the readout. Hint: These are made from carbon fiber infused plastic. They are very sturdy, but they can flex. When measuring, do not use too much force or you can alter the reading. Hint: When the calibers are totally closed at 0.00, note the gap at the top of the measuring faces. They touch on the lower 3/4ths of the faces. When measuring, be sure to use the lower part. If you measure in the upper gap, you'll be off by about .04". ********** Accuracy testing: There is nothing more in this review except for technical details of the accuracy tests. Don't bother reading unless you are into this sort of thing. The accuracy tests had excellent results. The precision is supposed to be .01". I found they were about 10 times that accurate at about .001. That's as far as I can test with a readout that only goes to 2 decimal places. I used a set of Grade A2 precision gauge blocks to test. They are factory certified to be within 0.0002". For the .01 resolution of these calibers, these gauge blocks are WAY overkill. But I have them sitting here, so ... See the attached photos for measurement examples. Most of the measurements photographed were taken with the blocks left in the case, so the measurement shown in the case below them match the block used On a couple, I had to reposition. On these you can see the empty slot to the right under the caliber and read the measurement there. Sorry for the focus, I was hand-holding the phone. To make the numbers show, I was also hand-holding a flashlight. Most turned out OK, but at least one turned out pretty fuzzy. All measurements were done holding them properly with any multiple block wrung together. Only the photographed ones were done a bit sloppy. Luckily, at a resolution of .01, they could be sloppy and still be accurate. Very different from my normal measuring. To test for accuracy, test what a known item measures. Then, also test to see at what point a number rounds up. Then do these tests a various places along the slide. I tested 4", 2": 1" and .05". Then I tested to see where it rounds down/up. .105 measured as .10" .106 measured as .11" So, the rounding happened at precisely halfway between .10 and ,11. Perfect. Way better than the specs. Within .001 for a stated resolution of .01. Very good. In another set of tests (not photographed), I took the 4,2, and1" blocks and tested each with the addition of the .105, .106 blocks. They all rounded at the same place.

Pretty inexpensive and are quite accurate, there's really no need to drop a ton of money on calipers. They also come with spare batteries which is something you don't see everyday.

I’d give this Sangabery digital caliper 4 stars. For basic household and DIY measuring, it does what it’s supposed to do: the large LCD is easy to read, switching between inches and millimeters is simple, and it’s accurate enough for non-professional work. It’s handy for checking inside and outside dimensions and depth without dragging out more expensive tools. My only real complaint is the build quality—the plastic body and overall feel are clearly “budget,” and it doesn’t have the solid heft of a higher-end metal caliper. That said, for the price, it’s a perfectly serviceable measuring tool if you just need something affordable for casual and DIY use.

Cheap accurate light weight tool. Will it hold up to regular daily use???? No. But you aren't paying $130 for this. How's it compare to my works $130 calibrated one that's metal and reads to .000". Pretty close! I measured .805" on the $130 metal one at work and this displayed .80. So for occasional use around the garage this will give you a very close idea to .00". Being so light weight if used regularly I'd recheck it regularly against something you know the exact size of. I don't need exact....out of the box it reads extremely exact. For $7 my initial option is it's well worth the $7. BTW I have good eye site but still appreciate the big display. Works $130 has a smaller display that's still readable but not as easy to see from a distance as this. This is not professional grade by any means but nice for the cost.

Great quality and made of mostly metal which is a huge advantage....made a mistake with cheap one.

This Digital Caliper is a strictly middle-of-the-road tool. It serves its primary purpose of providing quick digital measurements, but it falls short in a few critical areas that prevent it from being a shop essential. Starting with the positives, the large LCD screen is a standout feature. It is clear, easy to read at a glance, and the auto-off function works reliably to save battery life. In terms of value for money, the price point is accessible for hobbyists who need a casual measuring tool for non-critical tasks. It is lightweight and fits comfortably in the hand, making it easy to maneuver during light projects. However, the build quality leaves much to be desired. While the material is adequate for light-duty work, it feels flimsy compared to higher-end mechanical calipers. The biggest issue, and the reason for my rating, is the design of the jaws. The tips and the interior edges are surprisingly sharp; I have noticed that they frequently leave small scratches or indentation marks on softer materials like wood,rubber or finished aluminum. This makes it a liability for any project where surface finish is important. You have to be incredibly careful with the pressure you apply, which defeats the purpose of having a quick, convenient tool. Furthermore, the fit and finish of the sliding mechanism isn't perfectly smooth. It has a tendency to catch slightly, which can affect the consistency of your readings if you aren't paying close attention. It’s a functional device for basic hobby work, but if you are looking for precision or need to protect the finish of your workpieces, this caliper likely won’t be the right fit for your toolbox. It is "okay," but certainly nothing special.

Two months in, this has been a solid pick for the price. Accuracy holds up well, whether I'm measuring bolts, pipe diameter, or general shop projects, the readings stay consistent and match what I'd expect from a much pricier caliper. The auto-off feature works as advertised, kicks in after a few minutes of no use, no battery drain surprises. Zero-setting is simple, one button, and it actually holds the calibration. I've barely had to recalibrate it at all over two months of regular use, which was a pleasant surprise at this price point. Inch/mm switch is instant, no lag or confusion reading the LCD, screen's big and clear even in a dim garage. For household and DIY use, this checks every box without the price tag of a professional-grade caliper. Solid buy if you want reliable, accurate measurements without spending a ton. Wouldn't push it for extreme technical-grade precision work, but for everyday use it's more than capable.

I’m kicking myself for not buying this a long time ago. For this price, and the accuracy that I need (not building a rocket ship) this is a must for your tools. How many times you want to know a bolt size and try to measure with a tape… no more. Great little tool at a terrific price.

Good product with reasonable price but not that much accurate as I need to measure in MM for small particals Even didn't got 2 extra batteries with product as mentioned

same product as i was expecting .

The caliper does its job. Althought this may not be the best caliper on the market, it is more than sufficient for the typical hobbyist/3D modeler. The only problem that I have had whilst using this caliper would be that the mechanism tends to become slightly stiff if not stored in a dust-free environment.

Very accurate, very lightweight, great for what I need it for - mostly household and random works with my cars and bikes.

This is a decent caliper for the price, however if you want absolute accuracy .x you should definitely spend a bit more for a more accurate one.
