Electronic Digital Caliper, 100mm / 150mm, LCD

One tool that reads four kinds of measurement, right on the screen.

This digital caliper handles inside, outside, depth, and step measurements in metric or imperial. Pick the 100 mm (S) or 150 mm (L) range at purchase. A linear capacitive system gives 0.1 mm / 0.01 inch resolution with +/-0.2 mm accuracy, which fits general engineering, DIY, model making, teaching, and basic inspection. The LCD shows results at a glance, a mode switch flips between millimeters and inches, and a zero-set function lets you zero at any position for comparative readings. A small thumb screw locks the jaws so your reading holds.

Why we picked it

• Four measurements, one tool - Inside, outside, depth, and step, so you skip carrying several instruments.
• Easy-read display - The LCD cuts the misreads that come with vernier scales.
• Light in the hand - The plastic body weighs about 53 g and measures 245 x 80 x 12 mm.

Good to know

The body is plastic, about 53 g, sized 245 x 80 x 12 mm. It takes one AG13 1.5 V button cell, which is not included due to shipping rules. For critical precision machining a higher-precision metal caliper is the better call.
