FOW74-102-006 Electronic Caliper (AutoCal 6" Fractional)

As a retired engineer and an active shop guy, I've used calipers nearly every day of my adult life. These are a great set for the money. Are they Starrett or Mitutoyo? Nope, but they don't miss by much and only in unimportant minor ways. Are they 1/3 the price? Yup. Unless you just have to have the top dog pair, these are a super user set. The display is particularly good. Really clear. They open and move very well. Fit and finish are quite good, as is the sturdy plastic storage case. These calipers are much better than no-name imports, though $30 or so more. Well worth it - these are sweet spot value for money spent tools. Btw, checked them against gage pins and my micrometer. 100% dead on. Even come with a spare battery. I've used them for several months now with no issues so I can't comment yet on long term performance, but I see no reason to doubt they will outlast me. (Keep calipers from any maker clean, and don't drop them, heat them or use them in contact with unknown chemicals.)

I use this caliper to measure parts for 3d modeling and printing. I’ve used a caliper from my local hardware store. They work, but I find them to be less accurate and less repeatable. The Fowler rarely needs to be re-zeroed, measuring 0.00 when closed, even when opened and closed with the unit turned off. I’ve used these to measure inside and outside dimensions and depths of complex shapes and after designing parts found the accoracy to be good to 1mm or less.

Trying to learn/teach myself what the rest of the world knows when it comes to measurements. I have put it off long enough. Woodworking can make it easier for me...I think/hope...In the end knowing both source of measurements can help. I am 62 yrs old and getting better working in the shop. I like having [Ahh-ha] moments when finally seeing how its done or figured out a problem. I've been using it often to upgrade my precisions. Measure 3x and cut. So far so good. Material quality...well made. it measured a piece of paper. wow. Would recommend.

This is the second Fowler digital caliper that I've purchased. The first one is still going strong, but I needed a second caliper so I ordered another Fowler. The newer model has a larger screen, which is nice. It also added a fractional measurement, which I likely won't use much, but it doesn't hurt to have it there. The Fowler isn't quite as nice as a Mitutoyo or Brown and Sharpe, but it's significantly less expensive. It's also quite a bit better than the typical $20-30 offbrand digital Calipers that I've tried.

Thy work flawless. Great accuracy. Don’t like that they don’t have auto turn on when you pick them up or move slide

Has a nice feel in the hand. Not much slop. Really like this caliper.

Already had a digital one but it didn't show in fraction, which is nice so you don't have to keep Google the conversions

I say these are comparable with Mitchitoyo calipers. The build quality is great. The display is large and easy to read. Very impressed with these. Value for the money spent is very high. No complaints here.
