NEIKO 01407A Electronic Digital Caliper Measuring Tool, 0 - 6 Inches Stainless Steel Construction with Large LCD Screen Quick Change Button for Inch Fraction Millimeter Conversions, Digital Caliper Measuring Tool

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.

bought this for use with my 3d printer. I like the storage box, it is very sturdy plastic and offers a lot of protection. These come with the battery, so it works right out of the box. the screen is easy to read, and the buttons feel strong. this should last a long time. great product

I bought this because I kept reading so many different thickness measurements for materials and I wanted to figure out if some of the materials that I had already purchased would work in particular machines. For instance, the Silhouette Portrait will only cut materials up to 0.8 mm so when I was looking at chipboard and whether or not it would work in that particular machine, people would have so many different measurements that I just couldn't figure out if a product was worth purchasing or not. I have a bunch of different materials that I have purchased over the past and did not end up working for me, so I got this to measure the thickness of those particular things. First, let me address the quality. It seems to be of pretty good quality. It is sturdy and moves easily (doesn't get stuck when trying to open or close). The digital readout is big and is extremely easy to use. There is a red button under the digital readout that you can push to turn it on or off, but it also automatically turns on when you slide it open. You can set the zero on it to any point which might come in handy for people that want to measure from a larger point (like comparing the exact same items to see if there is a difference or something). The case is OK... It is sturdy and it doesn't feel like it will break easily. It is plastic, but not a thin plastic. My only complaint about the case is that it looks like a tool case! haha. I will have to add some color to it and make it look less like something my husband might want to steal. It is also a little difficult to open at times for me but perhaps that's because I'm used to the easy girly tools. ;) There was a battery already installed and an extra one in the case. It uses a LR44 button cell which is VERY common in kids toys so I have a huge backup of batteries for this thing. Those batteries tend to be rather expensive if purchased from a local store for some reason. They are often times seen in watches and that's usually the department we would find them in when we used to shop for them. I actually found them cheaper on Amazon and ordered 100 batteries for less than the price of 2 at the local store. So, maintaining the battery for this should not cost a lot of money. I have one major complaint with the design of this and it has to do with the battery compartment. I realize that there is a spot to put your thumb to slide the blades open for use, but I tend to put my thumb directly onto the top which is where the battery compartment is. So, I almost always slide the cover off. I don't know why I do this and it probably has to do with the fact that I use other items that require that type of maneuvering, but it IS something that I do and other people might as well. Although it doesn't technically hurt anything to do that, the battery can (and will) pop right out of there if you don't catch yourself when you are doing it. For the most part I don't have problems with that happening, but I'm confident it will at some point. If there is any chance of this getting redesigned in the future, I would make it slide a different way so there is very little chance of accidentally sliding that cover off at all. It's a little irritating but not so much that I regret the purchase... because I really like this caliper! As for the price, I think it is well worth the money that I paid for it. I'll be using it like crazy to give some accurate measurements of items that I have seen incorrect information on and it will save me time and money on products that I try to create with my different machines. All I have to do is keep it away from my husband now!

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

Works well! Created some models from the measurements, and it came out accurate.

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.
