WEN 10761 Electronic 6.1-Inch Digital Caliper with LCD Readout and Storage Case

Although very inexpensive, it lives up to the WEN reputation of being a highquality tool. I will hardly ever use it and didn't want to invest a lot. I just need itonce in a great while, but it's proven to be very accurate and useful when I do. Iused it to measure the shafts on my mower spindles to buy new blades, andmeasured the u-joint caps on my truck to buy the right new u-joints. The 2 sizes of u-jointsoffered have only a 3 mm difference which makes a huge difference if they're wrong, andare impossible to measure accurately with a tape rule. This digital caliper made absolutelysure there was no mistake, and easily, the first time. So far, I'm quite pleased with it.

If you know — you know. This one has required precision for woodworking. It also has fractions display, so it can work as a unit converter. It’s very readable, not just because of a bigger screen, but also because of better contrast. None of the other plastic calipers in this category has these features.It’s great WEN it works. It properly resets the scale on the length test, it correctly measures a length gage. It has on/off button, so batteries aren’t drained. Battery cover is screwed on, so a battery doesn’t suddenly jump out. It’s good enough to keep a protective box. I’ve bought several for different parts of my shop.

Not crazy about the plastic body. I prefer the metal for longevity. But for the price and the ability to chuck this around the shop I can't really complain. As with most even the best these drift a little and require Zero out from time to time. Love the large display. Hate the protective case. It's junk. Battery life dunno not used it much yet. I have one that turns on at the slightest bump. Runs the battery down and it is never ready to use. Hopefully this WEN doesn't have this quirk. I have no intention of playing a mission impossible handling these with kid gloves hoping it doesn't activate and destroy itself in 2 min.

I like these Wen measuring tools. I bought a bunch of different ones. This one's plastic, but it has a nice readout. So, it's not the greatest one in the world that I own, but I like the readout.

They may not outperform $100 Japanese calipers, but they are east to use are accurate enough for most purposes. I have bought more of these as gifts.

It's plastic. I didn't know that because the written description doesn't say.Also advertised as .01mm, .0005" for "maximum accuracy".. Display resolution is not the same as repeatable accuracy. There is the photo of the back cover which says accuracy is +/- .01", which is not the claimed .0005" from the written description.If I had known it was plastic, I probably wouldn't have bought it... My fault for not looking more closely or reading any reviews, which all say "PLASTIC!".Now that its here, for $11, its essentially disposable & its fine. It works fine. Its fine.PROs:big displayauto-offfractionssmoothish actionCONs:plasticnot advertised as plasticalso falsely advertised as .0005" accuracyback label says accuracy .01"no thumb wheelno lock screw

First I thought it was a joke, but due to how easy to use and have an auto-shut off feature unlike my other 2 calipers, I use this one all the time. I actually had enough of the metal made ones, this one is full plastic, but don't let that fool you, large LCD and just ease of use, i am not concerned by extreme accuracy, even if it's slightly inaccurate, which i don't know.

I like it.. think it's a great value for 10-bucks and some change. I read a few reviews commenting on it being plastic effecting it's accuracy and I didn't have that experience at all. It is made of some type of plastic but its fiber reinforced or something.. light but of good quality and made with tight precise tolorences. No play or wiggle in the moving parts. I feel its accurate as I have a Harbor Freight metal one that often needs to be zeroed where as this one I calibrated or zeroed once and it's stayed dead zero after using and turning off and on four or five times in the few days I've had it. Also thought I would be bothered by it not having the rolling thumb wheel that most have but it has just the right amount of resistance when sliding that it feels controlled in use. Also it's nice that for this price it came with a case but even better is it taking the common 2032 batteries that everything takes and I keep on hand.. rifle scopes, garage opener, bathroom scales, key fobs.. etc. Another thing helpfull to me is having the fraction unit of measurement included with decimal and mm. Handy for woodworking.One thing that drove me crazy that I found an easy fix for is it rattled around inside the case to the point it seemed to be turning it on (it auto turns on when you start using it). Also the tiny screwdriver included for the battery just tumbles around all over inside.So.. here's the tip --If you look in the lid theres two small post one at each end that holds it in place when closed.. although way to loosly. If you cut three pieces of rubber 1/4 fuel line exactly 5/8" long, pushing one over each of the post adds just enough length for a rubber bumper to hold it in place with no movement when closed. You just have to slide it all the way to the right when laying it in the case. The third piece slid over the screwdriver handle makes it much easier to use (bigger and grippier) and it'll wedge in the oval storage area in front. See my pic if interested, it shows what I did.Also worth mentioning, if not noticed, there's a clear protective film on the screen that can be peeled off making the read out cleaner and sharper when reading.Good Value.. does what you bought it for well. I say its a good buy.
