I have several pair. All crap. Inconsistent. All miss-function. Half died. $12 , $25, $45 seem to all be the same. Only one with consistent reviews is the Mitutoyo. OK, I'll pay for a real tool, but darn, it does not have a fractions function! ( Machinists don't care) The basic technology is the same in all. Probably the same chip but games played on support components, battery, and overall machining. Yes, I have read about the counterfeits.
Does anyone know of a 6 inch digital caliper of similar quality with fractions? Preferably smart enough to say 1/2 instead of 64/128 .001 is fine. Actually .01 would be fine of the darn thing worked reliably! ( but would still get the Mitutoyo for metal work) Do I have to revert to dial calipers just so they work every time?
