5The pump don't work cuz the vandals stole the handle.....
By Bill Zombie
- Dylan quote. Totally irrelevant. Anyway, I wanted a QUALITY Digital Caliper. I must have followed 100 links in Searches and at least 90 of them turned out to be variations on the generic caliper offered by Ha_bor Fre_ght. I quickly decided that those weren't for me.

Thank God I found the "True Power 6"(150mm) Stainless Steel Digital Vernier Caliper!" Sure, I paid a few bucks more for it but IT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY! Here's what I got: Sturdy, lined case. Detailed instructions, in English. (not "Chinglish!") Extra battery. And the Caliper itself is Solid and it is Smooth! Feature-rich, yet operation is remarkably intuitive!

I strongly recommend this Caliper to EVERYONE who wants a quality tool - you won't want to put this one back into its case!

5A quality value-priced caliper
By M. G. Griffin
The TruPower caliper seems sturdier than the Chineese (Harbor Freight) calipers every other cheap and mid-range caliper seems to resemble.

When I measured a 1/2" pin-guage the reading came right-in at 500 thousands. When I close and "zero" it, it still reads Zero after several repeated openings and closings.

The fractions option is pretty handy, and the automatic shut-down is a feature I wanted.

At $35 I'm not as attached to the TruPower as my Mitutoyo... which is probably a good thing when working around other people.

Update: After a few months, the TruPower caliper fell off my milling machine at the South Bay Machine school lab and that was the end of it. They were a champion of accuracy while they lasted. Would definitely buy another one.

5Great Product / Incomplete Instructions
By bwflorida
I received my TruePower Digital Caliper just five days after ordering it, and I agree with the 5-star reviews above; i.e., well made, nice case, easy to use, appears to be accurate, etc.

IMO, however, the exception to these great reviews is that the "detailed instructions" referred to by Zombie above suffer from some Chinese-To-English translation errors and two important omissions.

1) Fortunately, I don't need to use the data transfer feature, because the instructions (Item 4 under Functions) seem to be designed for those with an advanced engineering degree.

2) But the biggest oversight in the instructions is that they don't tell you how to open the battery compartment. At first I thought you pry it open by inserting a very thin knife edge in the gap just above the blade... but then I realized you simply use your fingernail to push the raised "circle" to the right to slide the cover open. I can visualize people damaging theirs by trying to pry the cover open with a screwdriver.

In spite of these issues, this device appears to be an excellent buy.
