Review: Simple, accurate, well-made, robust - Before buying this I bought a £17 digital calliper from Sealey which was so inaccurate (it drifted by as much as 40mm) and so poorly made that I sent it straight back for a refund and looked for an analogue calliper instead. Mitutoyo are a brand I know as I've encountered their large-scale industrial measurement instruments at work so I trusted them to make good quality kit. Having said that, I also trusted the Sealey brand too. This Mitutoyo calliper is almost 3 times the price of the Sealey digital one and it doesn't have the added cost of the digital readout so I'd expect it to be a lot better, but the truth is the two products are a world apart. This is a simple, well-made, robust, precision tool that allows you to accurately measure to within 0.02mm. None of this could be said for the digital calliper that I tried first. You could say this is simply a case of 'you get what you pay for'. But it's also the fact that it's easy to be lured by things like the ease and simplicity of a digital readout, but it's a false benefit. The simplicity and ease of use of this analogue calliper easily matches a digital one and it's far more accurate and not prone to error (at least only to human error). Thoroughly recommended, though if you're not old enough to remember slide rules, you'll need to read the instructions (which are very simple by the way). Review: Quality product - I chose a Mitutoyo product based on their reputation and on other reviews and I am not disappointed. Looks and feels like a quality tool, a pleasure to use. I have the eyesight typical of a sixty something, but have no problem reading the Vernier (with glasses!). My only criticism is the plastic storage wallet supplied: It really isn't going to protect it, I am looking for an alternative. I bought it primarily for use at home in my amateur radio / electronics workshop. It appears to be a genuine Mitutoyo product, if it isn't, its a very good fake! ## Features - Fine vernier reading supports precise manual measurement checks. - Metric and inch scales support flexible workshop measurement tasks. - Mechanical design requires no battery and is ready for everyday use. - Suitable for internal, external, depth and step measurement applications. - Robust Mitutoyo construction supports professional inspection use. - Hardened stainless steel construction - 4 way measurement, OD, ID, depth, step - Satin chrome finish - Slider clamp screw - Supplied in fitted plastic holster ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000VB6ZC0 | | Best Sellers Rank | 78,740 in Business, Industry & Science ( See Top 100 in Business, Industry & Science ) 124 in Vernier Callipers | | Brand | Mitutoyo | | Country Of Origin | Japan | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 240 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00603908141457 | | Included Components | holster | | Item Dimensions L x W | 22.9L x 7.7W centimetres | | Item Highlight | .001 in / 0,02 mm, inch/metric, vernier scale | | Item Type Name | Vernier Caliper | | Item Weight | 143 Grams | | Manufacturer | Mitutoyo Corporation | | Manufacturer Part Number | 530-312 | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Measurement Accuracy | 0.001 in | | Measurement accuracy | 0.001 in | | Model Number | 530-312 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Product Warranty | 2 years | | Product dimensions | 22.9L x 7.7W centimetres | | Range | 150 millimeters | | Set Name | single | | UPC | 603908141457 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Unit count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Mitutoyo - **Material:** Stainless Steel - **Measurement accuracy:** 0.001 in - **Product dimensions:** 22.9L x 7.7W centimetres - **Range:** 150 millimeters ## Images ![530-312 Vernier Caliper, 0-6 in / 0-150 mm | .001 in / 0,02 mm, inch/metric, vernier scale - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61FCDSotqLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple, accurate, well-made, robust *by S***K on 11 November 2019* Before buying this I bought a £17 digital calliper from Sealey which was so inaccurate (it drifted by as much as 40mm) and so poorly made that I sent it straight back for a refund and looked for an analogue calliper instead.
