The heading says it all. I have three of these. The more expensive metal ones just aren't as convenient for my purposes. If you work in metrics, look elsewhere. If you work in US decimals, this works well but you have alternatives. For fractions this is the best thing going... They did get cheap and dropped the conversion table (from 64ths to smaller denominated fractions e.g. 32 64ths = 1/2 inch) from the back of the caliper. For the 1/2 cent this saved them, they lost a measure of respect from me. I made my own conversion table using Excel, and taped this on the back of the two newer calipers.

I study oysters at Louisiana State University, and these calipers are perfect for measuring shell size. They are durable and plastic so they do not rust in the salty Gulf water.

This is a truly precision instrument. Although it is made of plastic the instrument does provide accurate measurements. A Best Buy.
