Read the top Amazon reviews, and get educated on these calipers. the 6" is the most comoon counterfeited caliper you will see.

Also, they retail for about 150, but they generally go for about 100 for 6" not the greatest deal/ but eh

Anyone find any other sizes on sale? Wouldn't mind picking up an 8" or 12" version.

I love the idea of having something that accurate. Unfortunately for me it would just be a waste of money. I haven't done anything that needs to be that accurate.

Digital calipers are $8-20ish elsewhere on amazon with a comparable level of precision. Can I ask what these do that make them worth 5-10x the price?

When you're working in thousandths you need to trust your tool. Those calipers can't be trusted.

They also burn through batteries and start acting flakey when the battery is at low voltage.

Cheap calipers are OK only if you're not relying on them.

Same here. Having said that, I am in the market for one. Any suggestion of a good cheap one?

I've had mine for 7 years and it has served me well while rebuilding engines. Mitutoyo is a very respected name in measuring devices. If you do not already know why you would need this vs. a $10 caliper, then you probably do not need it

Good price OP, I paid $115 back in the day

My assumption is that most people won't need or necessarily appreciate Mitutoyo calipers and the quality and accuracy of Japanese craftsmanship that they offer. The previously cited $8-$20 range is where downvoters should be looking for their calipers Smilie

The only concern with buying from Amazon for an item like this is as others have mentioned is the proliferation of very well executed counterfeited/fakes in the Amazon supply chain

Mitutoyo (along with Starrett) is one of the top dogs for machinist tools. This is the real deal.

Cheap chinese digital calipers can be adequate for a hobbyist, but aren't going to remotely compare to the precision / repeatability / longevity of this caliper

I have been very pleased with these:

I am a hobbyist woodworker and it is great to have the option for fractions. The Mitutoyos are almost surely more accurate, but I would still miss the fraction display, and for my purposes I don't need that level of precision. 1/128 is more precision than I generally need - much less half a thou.

Not sure why this is downvoted, I'd want to know I didn't buy a fake.
