3.0 out of 5 stars It's great, if it doesn't fall apart ..., September 22, 2009

By	Robert Manning "The Old Professor" (Davidson, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've owned two of these over the past six or so years. The first was a wonderful addition to my shop -- reliable, almost idiot-proof, sturdy? Well, I thought so until I noticed that a small steel strap, whose function is to hold the slider in place on the far end, had come loose. It's supposed to be screwed to the body of the piece, but the screw had come out and couldn't be found on my otherwise immaculate shop floor.

Rather than go to the trouble of packing it up and returning it (after six years!) I just bought another. It lasted about six weeks before the same thing happened again! Ever try to find replacement screws of this size? Solution -- make one good caliper from two bad ones. Soon, pieces of two $17 calipers rolled about my worktable like fire ants. They were enough different in detail (the new one had, evidently, been re-designed to avoid the problem) that the screws weren't ... well, that's enough. You get the point.

I thought, for a long time, that this might be, dollar for dollar, the most valuable piece of equipment in my shop. Now it's the most useless, and promises to stay that way.

But I'm not going to buy a third.

No doubts about it... this is by far one of the best buys here. Comperable with similar calipers twice the price. I use mine for ammo reloading and it hasn't fail me yet. Strongly recommended.
