I initially had my concerns about whether to buy it or not. The comments I had read here were mixed. I ordered it and after using it for a while, I can say that it's worth its money. Don't expect to see consistent accuracy between the same measurements, but the differences are very small, we're talking about tenths of millimeters.

Before we start measuring, my opinion is to zero the reading and make sure the tips are fully touching. Then, it's good to gradually open the two ends and not abruptly until the point we want to measure.

Of course, if someone is looking for a high-precision tool, then they should look elsewhere. It's okay for amateur use.

Terrible. The deviations are significant, resulting in unreliable measurements, especially if you work with millimeter precision. Additionally, it is poorly constructed, with wheel marks everywhere. Also, it is slightly crooked when closing the clamp, where it should fit exactly, light passes through. Furthermore, the component that measures depth should fit precisely in its channel, but it has a 1mm gap, causing it to move from side to side.
If it cost 3-4 euros like the equivalent Chinese ones, I wouldn't complain. Some may argue that it is good for its price, but I disagree. I bought a similar one from a well-known supermarket at the same price, which occasionally sells tools, and it is flawless.

  It came with a dead battery. I know why. It has a wiring problem. The slightest move will turn it on. For the money paid, it is not worth sending back I just remove the battery after use. It works fine otherwise.

  Overall, it is okay.
  I have tested the accuracy of this caliper with known length samples and even with hard samples it is spongey and results in ±0.1mm depending on pressure. With a steady hand, and very slow movements (as fast ones cause measuring errors), you can reliably get the precision to ±0.02mm which is worth the price. For student use it is perfectly fine considering the price but if you can afford it, invest in slightly higher quality. One flaw is the inability to accurately track fast movements so you must turn the dial very slowly until you reach the measuring surface, kind of annoying and easy to create deviations, especially if you zero on a surface first when checking the difference.

  Cheap material, lacks accuracy, measures the same dimension with different range, not big but different, and yesterday after less than 6 months with minimal use it broke. It doesn't turn off but remains in operation and the numbers on its panel go crazy. Cheap product, so... throw your money elsewhere.

  They sell the same in the market. Average assembly, rough-cut edges, hasty Chinese construction. It may measure, but its finish and its joints do not allow consistency. It's three stars and that's a lot.

  I believe that with a little extra money, I could have bought something more expensive and durable. It has significant deviations and after a few uses, its indications are all over the place

  Many calipers have passed through my hands due to work. I decided to buy a cheap digital one for simple use outside the laboratory. I didn't want anything special. I thought it couldn't be as bad as described in the reviews here. My mistake. It is much worse than they describe here. It is astonishing how it shows such inaccurate measurements everywhere. Of course, as soon as I got it, it didn't work because the battery was dead, and luckily there was another wasted one inside the packaging that fortunately worked... I kept it because it is impressively of humiliating quality and I will show it to colleagues to laugh...

  This particular caliper is fake. The original calipers are made by goobay, a reputable company in New Zealand, England, and Australia.

  Obviously, it is for amateur use and it has deviations. At this price, however, I expected it to be a little better

  Only for amateur use, very poor construction and because of this difficult to use (crooked wheels, uneven rolling, misalignment of ruler with display screen after zeroing, poorly aligned materials) at half the price it would be VFM.

  I did not expect this product to be so bad.

  Very crooked
  It does not run evenly along the rail. It tightens in some areas.

  Avoid buying it.

  The caliper is of very poor quality, but don't expect professional instrument quality at this cost.
  It requires a steady hand, proper calibration, and a lot of patience, as the contacting surfaces are not even and the instrument reacts very easily to pressure.
  However, with a little effort, the accuracy and repeatability can be improved from ±0.10mm to ±0.01mm (I tested it with fillers up to 0.02mm).
  For its price, it is good, purely for amateur use. If anything arises over time, I will come back.

  I think it's good for its price.
  Advantages:
  The clear digital display, readable even for me with vision problems who often don't have my glasses on.
  The 150-mm covers a wide range of measurements.
  Construction and appearance of a regular caliper.
  Disadvantages:
  Unstable movement of the mechanism. Maybe I'm missing something in its use. I didn't deal with it much.
  Poor measurement repeatability due to mechanism tolerances.
  If you press a little, even in a hard test, the digital display changes. This reduces the actual accuracy to about ±0.15.
  With good practice, you may achieve an accuracy of ±0.05

  The worst thing anyone could buy. It is so faulty that it gives a different measurement outside and a different one on the inside. I didn't expect to buy a cheap product for 6 euros, but not like this...

  For the money, it is average.
  3 different measurements, three different results - especially in millimeters (which is where caliper measurement matters to you).
