HORNADY Digital Caliper

Good product, like most things Hornady makes.

I am very pleased with the Hornaday Digital Caliper set. Nice hard plastic case with a spare battery and a cutout in the padding for that spare. Great heavy stainless steel set of 6" calipers, easy to zero out, nice large digital display for the aging eyes, easy to use buttons, US and Metric measurements, feel very rugged. These are a great addition to the a reloading arsenal or the general toolbox. Overall these are an awesome value that would be very hard to find a better set. I would highly recommend to friends, family or anyone wanting a good inexpensive digital caliper at an amazing value!

I searched around for the right caliper for a good minute, finding a lot of cheaper ones but with numerous dissatisfied reviews. I also found more expensive ones with awesome reviews, but I couldn't justify paying that much. This one after all my research seemed to be the best bang for the buck, and Hornady is a name I trust, so I got it. It does all I'd ever need a caliper to do, it's very accurate, easy to use, and is very well built. It came with a very decent protective case as well, I'd suggest it.

First the 1,2 and three star reviews where 95% talking about the electronic calipers which this IS NOT ! Now for the sad facts of life in dial caliper land: I have been reloading for over 47 years, go a late start when I was in my late 20s. I like Hornady press and dies because of off-set press and the great LNL die locking system and the fact that they make full length dies that make STRAIGHT CASES / NECKS! (straight rounds go straight). I have gone thru 7 dial calipers during this time, MOST being Hornady. They all die the same, namely they start jumping around in their readings; stopping to check, you open and close and no longer get the dial needle stopping at zero but anywhere it feels like. SOoo why keep coming back to them? I get tens of thousands of good reading before they die, (most of the time), and the alternative is to pay exorbitant amounts of money for some super-duper brand that dies in about the same amount of time and in the same way. Sad to say I know of no reasonable alternative! Get one, hope it works well for 4 or 5 years and get another, (PS: have two at any given time as you know not when one will die but it will always be when you are deep into needing it). Once upon a time one could spend good money and get one that last a life time, hand made in the USA no doubt...no longer. My older brother still uses our Dad's dial caliper, (He was a machinist), that is now in the area of 90 years old +/- , (a guess but close enough),and it is just as precise as these when new. I will not state the manufacturers name as you would go buy one they make now and they no longer make anything of that quality. Indeed, I paid a few hundred for one of their current models and it failed out in about the same time frame as the Hornady Chinese in-ports.. And yes I have loads and rifle that shoot .2 " and 300 yard test range so I do know what is required to get that done. I hope my time spent here helps some re-loaders out there face this sad situation....(PS: if it starts skipping around and not returning to zero try flushing it out with alcohol, sprained till it runs out see if it doesn't come back to life?)

I have used other brands for several years that cost much more than these. I have been pleasantly surprised with these. I couldn’t justify the an expensive set. I won’t use them daily and they seam sturdy and operate smoothly

as ordered

I got this for reloading, checking case length, overall length and comparing bell width to casing width. I compared readings to my trusty dial caliper and it's within 1/1000th of an inch.. It comes with a spare battery and a case. It turns it self off if you leave it on too long, has a manual on-off button, a zero button and measures in either millimeters or inches. I've been using it daily for 6 months and it's still going strong with it's original battery. The included instructions explain everything you'll need to know about how to use it for various ways of measuring things, outside and inside width, depth, etc..

Easy to use

Great price, top notch, nice digital caliper!

Tut was es tun soll, das auch ganz gut. Allerdings hakelt es beim schieben ob "warm" oder kalt. Braucht häufig Kalibrierung. Dann lieber für 35€ mehr einen besseren vom bekannten Hersteller aus Japan.Ist schon in Ordnung, aber für den Preis ist es einfach für saubere Messungen nicht geschmeidig genug. Daher kann ich den Messergebnissen leider nicht ohne Zweifel glauben.Positiv ist die Möglichkeit von imperalisch/metrisch. Gut verpackt und wertig, aber leider dem Preis nicht entsprechend.
