Pros & Cons
Pros
Caliper itself is definitely a step up from my old harbor freight cheapo model. It's an amazing difference and i wish i would have done it sooner.
Case is even a 8/10. Natural tendency is to place the battery with the lettering visible. Case is decent with a blow mold and a small pad to keep minor bumps from jarring the tool.
These clockwise calipers are more comfortable than any other set we have. Silky smooth movement. Not buttery smooth like a high-dollar professional set, yet still smooth.
Cons
When i close the jaws it almost never goes back to exactly zero, even after i just zeroed it. It seems to count down in increments of 5. When i turned it off and then tried to turn it back on again, nothing happens.
Very displeased with this product. Very unimpressed. Don't waste your money. There's two fatal flaw, one that is killing-me.
Highlights
Quality
Overall pleased with the fit finish and function of these calipers
Really nice feature with the fractions of in inch
I recently found out that my calipers display doesnt work anymore and which i decided to get in touch with the customer service
Unfortunately the lcd readout was blank so i assumed it was a faulty battery as it had just worked the previous week with the mechanic
Price
The cost was not at all bad for what you get
The dclr0805 is a great caliper at a very reasonable price
Shipping
Vick immediately offered to send a replacement unit and even held off shipping as i was going away before the unit would arrive
Packaging/appearance
Did not like the sticker that must be removed to see the screen
Competitiveness
This last time a professonal diesel mechanic was using it and a couple of days later i needed to use it myself
These seem much better on battery life when idle than much of the competition uses a cr2032 batt rather than an lr44 as many competitors do
Its no mitutoyo but it also just a percentage of the price
Seems very nicely made but im only a handy hubbies

If you have one of these you can not only roll open the jaw to see a visual representation of the diameter of your marble but you can select the fraction button and see that your marble is 7834
