Groz 01304 4" Brass Caliper

sometimes i need a small measuring tool cause i don't have enough gray hairs in my beard to tell you how thick something is from ten feet away. this little guy will let those of us with degraded or degrading vision more easily tell how thick or thin a particular object with roughly parallel sides might be. it works well for that and the markings seem to line up with my more expensive mitutoyo scales so i trust it well enough for non-critical measurements

Works as expected, no issues

Numbers are hard to see with brass background. Would have like a contrasting numbers area

Bought to carry and measure small items in hardware, works well in a small package.

Needed a little polishing to get it to slide freely. I trust it to about 1/16 inch. Anyway, all brass looks cool.

Great and very handy. The price is great and fits in your pocket

I bought this to carry in my pocket. It's a little sharp, but in its case it's fine; I may fabricate a leather or 3D printed case for it to make it easier on the leg.The brass is nice, tho the engravings are kind of hard to read, but I just scribbled on it with a ballpoint pen and then smudged the ink into the hash marks, numbers, and other engravings, and it really pops now. You can see the 100mm and the numbers around the slider pin where I didn't get the ink in as good. Handy little tool. 1mm / 1/16" resolution.

Ever so slightly off on mm scale but still able to read, nicely made. Mainly use it for "in the ballpark" work, checking nut and bolt sizes, very handy
