We don't use the word "improved" lightly. Our new 6" electronic caliper produces accurate inside, outside and depth readings in three different modes: metric, decimal and fractional. Dispense with tedious calculations and convert from metrics to thousandths to fractions with the convenient push of a button. Setting it at a desired measurement, then zeroing it out, allows you to read size differences without having to add or subtract. This well-made stainless steel instrument has a large, easily readable display and comes provided with a sturdy case and two lithium batteries.

Unfortunately (for us, not for you,) we still have a few of our older model digital calipers around - perfectly respectable instruments, but lacking the fractional display - which we now feel it is only right to offer to you at a reduced price. Each of these older (but still not obsolete) units comes in a fitted plastic case with one included battery. Both new and old units are made in China.
