Comments about Cen-Tech 24" Jumbo Aluminum Caliper:

This caliper is great for metric measurements considering its source the standard unit of measure. Considering its size and metal construction it's a good buy. If one needs hi-precision fractional unit in this size caliper get ready to spend $$$'s. If anyone knows sources for a more accurate caliper in this size/price tell us about it! It definitely beats a tape measure for building my model tall ships.

      Comments about Cen-Tech 24" Jumbo Aluminum Caliper:

      For the [$]price tag, can't go wrong - score 5. At 24", dead on (measured with tape going from 1' to 3' on the tape) - score 5. If the alignment of the main scale with the vernier scale is off, the stationary jaw can be adjusted by loosening two set screws. Downside is that the inside measurment by design does not correspond to the outside measurement(on mine, inside measurement reads zero at the minimum measurement, but is actually about 115 mm). Since that is by design, I'll not hold that against the tool - score 4.5. If I cared, I'd sand or file the inside measuring surface down to 100 mm...that would help. Incidentally, mine has both metric and English (inch/foot) scales. Both scales have verniers (To learn how to use the veriner, see http://science-experiments.info/2006/06/read-vernier-caliper/) All-in-all, it certainly beats $49.95 for the next best tool for my brake adjustment. (or cost up in the hundreds for some brake adjustment gauges).

      Comments about Cen-Tech 24" Jumbo Aluminum Caliper:

      As it comes from the store this is a useless product. It does not measure in inches, it is some imitation of an inch. I dont normally even consider buying a product like this, but after seeing it and holding it in my hands, I really liked the idea; it weighs practically nothing. It could be a great handy woodworking tool. I am a metrology engineer, so needless to say my caliper is very accurate now, but not withut allot of love (work). Its a cool design and I love the feel, but dont bother unless you enjoy fixing stuff...

      Comments about Cen-Tech 24" Jumbo Aluminum Caliper:

      Seems to be off by 1/16" at 24", checked with two tape measures and two metal rulers. Should be accurate to 1/128" or .005 cm for my intended use. Decimal inches would be easier to read like cm scale.

      Description needs a rewrite.

      By Al Dorado

      from Undisclosed

      Comments about Cen-Tech 24" Jumbo Aluminum Caliper:

      There is no thumb wheel, "easy to roll" or otherwise. The only way you could do a depth measurement is to maybe tie a string to it and throw it in the lake. But after a half hour with a file doing a little "alignment" I can measure PVC to a 32'ND! I'm happy.
