01407A

These are good calipers for the price and perfect for home use. They are sturdy, accurate and the digital display is nice (in, fraction and mm). The calipers slide well when measuring and look great with the black background.

This review is for NEIKO 01407A Electronic Digital Caliper | 0-6 Inches | Stainless Steel Construction with Large LCD Screen | Quick Change Button for Inch/Fraction/Millimeter Conversions. Let me start of by saying that if you need a gauge that is highly accurate and highly precise, you are going to need to shell out some good coin for something like a Mitutoyos. I picked up this NEIKO caliper, because I wanted something that was quality and not expensive. This caliper has been excellent so far. It is stainless steel, which was a must. I want it to last, and I wanted something more precise/accurate than plastic. I also wanted something digital for ease of use. This gauge is extremely easy to use. You can scroll through millimeters, inches, and fractions of inches. The display is also easy to read. This also comes with a nice storage case, one battery installed, and a spare battery. The owner's manual fits inside the case, and there is room for a spare battery in the case. The only thing I can say remotely negative is that the installed battery arrived dead, but the spare battery was good. I've already used this multiple times around the house for various things, and I wish I had bought one of these sooner. It has been extremely helpful for multiple projects.

The Neiko Electronic Digital caliper is accurate and easy to use for measuring any thing that requires precise accuracy. The digital display is clear and makes it simple to read measurements without guessing. It feels well made for the price and has held up great with regular light use. Switching between measurement units is quick and convenient. However, the battery often loses connection, causing the display to flicker or reset unexpectedly. Reseating the battery usually fixes the issue, but it can be annoying when you’re in the middle of a project. Overall, it’s a good value and performs well most of the time, but the battery connection problem keeps it from earning a full five stars.

These are great, the display is easy to read, they are accurate and don’t feel cheap. Very sturdy feeling in your hand.

The caliper work well and good quality. Super easy to use, read and easily adjustable. The caliper are sturdy and stable.

There's some debate over whether or not the item arrived within the 2-day shipping window, but I'll put that aside for now. The digital caliper comes in a dark grey/black plastic case that snaps together (9 3/4" X 3 1/2" X 1"). Mine came with a hairline crack in the lower left section, next to the hinges. Upon further inspection, the crack became larger, and ended up being a piece of plastic 1" long in my hand. Nothing a hot glue gun couldn't fix, I guess. Still, disappointed a brand new product arrived in defective shape. Unacceptable. That's the negative. However, the working part of the package is actually quite functional. The Neiko Tools, USA digital caliper is accurate to within 0.03mm/0.001", and has a repeatability rate of 0.01mm/0.0005". The small, one page folded owners instructions advises the owner to take three separate measurements, then take the average of the three for greater accuracy. The LCD display screen (1 1/2" X 1/2") is large enough for almost anybody, but it is not back lit. It came with one silver oxide 1.5V LR44 battery installed (supposedly good for one year of continuous use) and a spare as well. The screen will flash to warn of a low battery. In addition to the inner and outer measuring caliper is the highly accurate depth measurement probe, made of the same hardened stainless steel. The caliper is equipped with a serial output for interface with a host computer or printer. I haven't tried that yet, but that should be interesting. Note: It does not come with the corresponding serial output cable. The screen has an auto off function to save battery life, and comes on automatically when being used, or you may choose to use the on/off button, and reset zero. The display can be zeroed at any point on the slide. The display can instantly be converted from SAE to Metric and back again with a press of a button. The caliper itself is made of hardened stainless steel. On the back of the LCD screen is a metallic, adhesive sticker with a couple of tables of screw thread standards for your convenience. I don't foresee these coming into play for me, but one never knows. More information, in the right context, is a good thing. As for ergonomics, the machine-grooved thumb-roll mechanism makes it easy to operate, and the position lock for sure readings works reasonably well. All parts are superbly crafted, from the precision ground jaws to the lettering on the back scale. This is a delicate instrument. One must be willing to take one's time and learn to operate it smoothly. It's ever so very sensitive, ready to measure the tiniest of things. If you're not interested in anything past the the first decimal, then maybe a tape measure will be more to your liking. Also, remember to give this tool a little oil maybe twice a year, if you're using it frequently. It will corrode eventually, like anything else. Overall, very pleased with it. Almost gave it a four because of the darn case being broken and all. If treated properly, it should serve you well for many years to come. All this for under $20!

Great affordable calipers for basic hobby work and 3D printing. Obviously they aren't going to be as accurate or quality as machinist calipers that are 4x or more expensive, but they work for my purposes.

Perfect for 3D printing or general around the house/car projects. Great build quality.

Very nicely made Caliper. The added bonus of it showing fractions has already been a handy feature I have used a few times. The bottom line is this, if it became non-functional through my own carelessness, I would buy another no-question HOWEVER..... after two months of use I am finding the two font sized readout very annoying, Otherwise it has worked well but I do not understand why it was decided to make the second, third and fourth numbers after the decimal half the size . If someone only needs it for coarse measurement then having the first two numbers predominate makes sense but I personally find the two sized readout less than Ideal and I am looking at other calipers that show the readout all in full size

Received goods as described, shipping is per planned arrive date and a well packed shipment

The materiality is great, it looks and feels like a quality item however I have owned it for approximately 6 months and in that time I've used it perhaps a dozen times. It is stored indoors in a steel work bench inside of its hard carry case. Now the digital display is glitching and does not maintain a reading. Edit: turns out a battery replacement solved the issue

Absolut schlechte Qualität, direkt zurück geschickt

El producto ha llegado en el plazo estipulado, bien protegido y en perfecto estado. Valoro su precisión en función del uso que le requería y hasta el momento responde perfectamente (para un uso profesional de mucha precisión entiendo que hay que ir a otra gama de precio). Me ha desconcertado que ni en el embalaje, ni en pequeño impreso de instrucciones, aparezcan referencias de la marca más allá del nombre y el logotipo. Me he informado en internet y NEIKO es una marca China de herramientas conocida, especialmente en EUA (que también fabrica en Taiwan). Buena relación calidad-precio.
