iGAGING Absolute Origin 0-6" Digital Caliper, IP54 Stainless Steel, SPC/USB Output Port, Inch & Metric Modes, Case, Manual

I purchased this item thinking it would not be as good a quality as the product description said but I was wrong. The thing was well packaged and functions exactly as described. The plastic case is relatively sturdy and I expect it will protect it just fine. I have used it several times and checked it against other instrument readings and it is always dead on.I have only had it a few days, so not a lot of use yet, but I am very happy with it. For the price, I think it is a great tool. It is easy to hold, easy to use, easy to read, easy to zero. All of that is fine as long as the accuracy is there and it certainly seems to be there. It came with an extra battery which was a nice plus. I can't image it using a lot of power so I think one battery should last almost forever! BUT, when it goes out, I have a replacement (if it will still be good months down the road!). If it uses batteries faster than that, then I may have to amend this review.So, mark me down as very satisfied and pleased.

There was a very comprehensive set of reviews written by someone else on the various price breaks/best caliper per group... and for the $30-50 this was the top ranker. I have worked manufacturing line jobs and had a digital caliper glued to my hand for the whole shift many times, and there are some things I look for when I buy a caliper.This one is a bit heavier than I expected. It is a little bit larger head, but it is solid. It came with an extra battery, and it's a fairly good feel and slide to it. One downside is the bar is just sort of marked by the ten millimeter groups, no scale where you could run an estimate manually if the battery was dead. Nothing to mark it off for though.It came with a little bit of oil to prevent corrosion on it (easy to wipe off) and a bit of paper between the jaws to protect them. The serial number was handwritten onto the accompanying paperwork including where calibration and accuracy checks were performed and handwritten the name of the inspector and date. (within 2.5 months of when it arrived in my hands). It was ready to go out of the case.Accuracy and repeatability, seems right on, even when I pulled the jaws to near max.I'd say I got very good value for my money; I will update if it warrants it. Overall, the other recommendation was spot on, and in this price range it's a very good tool, accurate and well made.

My Mitutoyo display stopped working so I ordered this one as a replacement. I was able to repair my Mitutoyo before this one arrived but I couldn't cancel the order and I was curious as to the quality in case I needed one for the future. I didn't use it but did give it a cursory inspection and it looked really really good. I am a hobbyist watchmaker and this iGAGING would have have been a better choice than the Mitutoyo for what I use it for. Maybe in a machine shop the Mitutoyo really excels but for my needs the iGAGING is more than enough.

This caliper appears well made and is a good value for the price. Weighty in the hand with very sharp points on the caliper tips. Out of the box it read "0" when closed. Easy to use, it activates as soon as it's operated. Display legibility is good and the size is adequate. A backlight on the display would be a great upgrade. Battery life is yet to be seen but 2 are included and they are a standard easy-to-find battery. Case & foam are poor. The points of calipers will snag on the cutout as it's pulled out of the box. And on day 2 the cutout portion of the foam detached due to the points catching on it. Not a deal-breaker but annoying. A better thought out home for the tool is needed. Also the case "could" unintentionally open as it lacks a secure closure clasp. I wouldn't trust this case to be thrown around in a box or bag. The thumb wheel has play in it but it's probably an intentional part of the design where the wheel is disengaged when the calipers are opened or closed without using the wheel. Overall a pretty good tool. Made in China.

The iGAGING Absolute Origin 0–6" Digital Caliper has quickly become one of my most reliable tools. The accuracy is spot‑on, and the measurements stay consistent thanks to the absolute origin feature — no constant zeroing like cheaper calipers. The stainless steel construction feels sturdy and smooth, and the slide action is precise without any wobble.The IP54 rating is a nice bonus, keeping dust and splashes from interfering with the electronics. I also love the SPC/USB output port, which makes it easy to log measurements directly into software when I’m working on detailed projects. Switching between inch, metric, and fractional modes is quick and intuitive.For anyone doing 3D printing, woodworking, machining, or detailed hobby work, this caliper is a fantastic upgrade. It’s accurate, durable, and feels like a professional‑grade tool at a great price. Now I just need to learn how to use my CAD software to be able to create more projects for me to 3D print. Made a few projects and this Caliper really helped making project simpler. And everything fit perfect because of the accurate measurements.

This is a very nice set of calipers. I went with the 6 inch ones. They are made out of nice stainless steel and feel plenty durable. I used to have a cheap pair of plastic ones, but they broke so i wanted to get something that wouldn't break the bank, but higher quality than the ones i owned before.The main thing i want to share is just how accurate these Calipers are. I was trying to think of what to test them on, then i remembered that i have a pair of accurate 1, 2, 3 Blocks and decided to use them to test the accuracy of the calipers.As you can see from the pictures, they read 1.0000 on the 1-Inch side, 2.0000 on the 2-Inch side and 3.0005 on the 3-Inch side. So they are more than accurate enough for most tasks.There isn't really much more to say about them.

Works fine

I have several of these in my garage by the lathe and in my reloading room.Good quality digital caliber, especially for the price.Will wirelessly connect to your computer for working in spreadsheets,etc.

Very high manufacturing quality, lot of extra-items provided (batteries, screws drivers, calibration certificate, etc...)Very satisfacted.

The movement is buttery smooth. Very accurate. Easy to read display. I recommend. M....

Excellent. 2 fois moins cher que le Mituyo

I purchased this electronic caliper to take the measurements of one of my bass guitars so I could send them to a bass builder to have one of my other basses redone to the same specs. He wanted these measurements befor starting any work.

I have used many different makes of calipers and these are the best yet.
