This easy-to-use measuring tool allows for reliable and accurate readings with the slim, streamlined design and large LCD. This calliper is IP 67-certified, which means that the electronic components are resistant to debris, and are resistant to submersion under standard conditions for up to 30 minutes. The calliper can be used with one hand through operating the fine adjustment roll with the thumb. A lock screw can hold the slide in position. The hardened stainless steel measuring surfaces offer corrosion resistance and long life, while the heavy-duty bar and slide are a sturdy 3.5 mm thick. Single battery is easy to access, on the front of the plastic casing, next to the LCD. The last measurement position is retained when the calliper is shut off, and it is simple to zero the calliper at any position with the clearly marked zero button. It is simple to zero the calliper at any position with a push of the zero button. Easy-to-read LCD is large, with 0.310” tall characters. The calliper shuts off automatically after 30 minutes of nonuse. Linear accuracy meets the internationally used Deutsches Institute fur Normung 862: Vernier Callipers Requirements and Testing (DIN 862) standards. Induction-type linear encoder system offers high precision in measurements by tracking small movements in position by using a conductor moving through a magnetic field. The outside measuring jaws on this calliper are approximately 1-7/8” (47.6 mm) long, while the inside measuring jaws are approximately 3/4” (19 mm) long. Review: I don’t think I can answer that, honestly I’m not sure anyone can, but I’ll give you my personal experience with both. I had the mitutoyo 8” digimatics for about 11 years and they served me well, but with quite a bit of use in less than optimal environments, they started to become a little sloppy and I was having a tough time getting repeat measurements, so I decided to try out these starrett 8” calipers which were a little more in price. As soon as I took them out of the box I noticed how smooth the action was and once I put them to use I noticed how much easier they were to get repeat measurements, this could be due to the fact that I had a wore out pair of mitutoyo’s, but honestly I wouldn’t go back and thats personal preference I’m sure. But I am very pleased with the performance and have no regrets spending the extra money on this amazing tool. I’d highly recommend getting these if you’re on the fence between the two. Review: This is an excellent digital caliper. It consistently returns to zero and hold .001 inch accuracy. I wish I had purchased it a long time ago. The only drawback is price. This kind of quality however demands a higher price and this caliper is well worth the cost. ## Features - Measures 0 to 8" and 0 to 200 mm with 0.0005" and 0.01 mm accuracy - IP 67-certified, to ensure protection against coolant, water, dirt, and dust - Easy-to-read LCD with 0.310" high characters - Hardened stainless steel bar for corrosion resistance and long life - Linear accuracy meets international DIN 862 standards - IP67 - Complete protection against dust/dirt and withstand up to 1m submersion in coolant or water for 30 minutes - Hardened stainless steel measuring surfaces for long life - Resolution: 0.01mm/0.0005" Linear accuracy meets DIN862 - With RS-232 Data Output ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003YL3A8Q | | Batteries | 1 Lithium Metal batteries required.
