Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

This is well built and hefty. It is built like a tank, and should last a lifetime.

The starrett delivers with the usual starrett quality and accuracy. It is repeatable and accurate to 1/64th of an inch. The movement feels very solid, and the readout is very clear.

The fractional-reading dial is a boon, with conversions being unnecessary. The thousandths reading is also there on the dial, but you don't need to convert it. It's easy to eyeball 1/128 as the halfway point in-between the larger graduations.

Starrett, as an american firm making entirely superior products, deserves the support of all of us. This superbly made item is without doubt one of the most-used tools in my shop. Don't let a novice anywhere near this tool.

Great product, comes in perfectly useable case. The sturdy case makes this a job site tool. Its operation is smooth, and the case protects it well.



Cons

This (bad) review reflects pricing not functionality. Boy, i hope this instrument is accurate. Not clear in online material or caliper itself.

Quality


Good set of calipers accurate no issues so far


These fractional calipers are solidly built and accurate


I have used it for almost 9 months now, and it is very repeatable in its measurements, always returns to zero, and never drifts...  Read More


Smooth operation, easy to zero, has a locking knob.

Price


Buy a cheap, disposable, caliper for them to use.


I guess that's the trade off over a manual sliding caliper that cost $10.


My only complaint, is that it's too expensive to leave lying around or try to stick in my back pocket, so i have to always use the case.

Shipping


It arrived on time and in good condition.

Packaging/appearance


Item is perfect, packaging is for the long term, very well made and presents with the jaws not touching.


Comes with a very nice protective case.


It comes in a nice protective case.


The booklet enclosed was for a metric caliper.

Competitiveness


There are other brands out there for half the price but none are better than this one.


Starrett, as an american firm making entirely superior products, deserves the support of all of us.


I have compared it with other imported calipers, and find its workmanship and precision to be superior.

    As a metrologist and standards repair expert the fit feel and finish leave nothing more to be desired

    Rather than endlessly do the mental math however i printed out a 164ths inches conversion chart something that starrett really should include


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Have yet to use this for set ups on my tablesaw my original intent but it has found repeated uses i had not imagined when i ordered it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The latch will likely be the first failure point


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Its old school but extremely useful for woodworking or measuring imperial parts


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It doesnt replace an electronic metricimperial caliper but is a welcome addition to one
