Seems well built. Measurements reproducible. Easy to read display. Feels good in hand.

I bought 2 of these for use at a remote warehouse. They do not get used very often. These calipers accuracy seems good but every time I go to use them they need a new battery. Very frustrating since they have an auto off feature. I own 2 Mitutoyo calipers and I rarely turn them off. They don’t have an auto off feature. The Mitutoyos batteries last for years. Not sure why the SHONSIN calipers burn through batteries when they are off.

So far I love this caliper, it is heavy, not too heavy but I can tell I have something sturdy in my hand. When I go back to zero the caliper says ZERO, not -1 or something else. Have had it a couple of days but so far so good!

I was initially unimpressed with this tool as the battery compartment is a lousy design, but once I got past that, I like these calipers very much. The display is larger, the buttons make sense and the auto on feature is convenient. Since I work with wood as well as metal, the fractional inch readings are also useful.

I got this digital caliper today and there was one battery new in its package so I opened the caliper to put in the battery and first thing I noticed is the adjustment wheel falls off! The screw that holds the battery cover also holds the wheel. Second thing I noticed there was a battery in it. That battery was dead. So what that tells me is if you leave the battery in expect it to die after some unknown time.Seems like a solid build heavy compared to my other 6”. Its a little off form my other digital caliper but I don’t have any calibration blocks to test with.Don’t expect much from the case, its cheap! Guess I’ll find out how it holds up over time.

I have used a Starrett 120 and use it to compare the Shonsin.I have to say, I'm impressed with the accuracy, the quality of the build, and the hefty feel of the stainless steel used. At first I thought the buttons were chrome covered plastic, but instead, they are polished aluminum, very nice.The over all quality is amazing considering the fact these are under $40.00. The case has medium thickness and it's not flimsy. The one thing I think that should be included is a date and time accuracy calibration certificate. But I don't think that is a deal breaker at $40.00 and it is maintaining its accuracy time and time again on my precision testing pieces. I treat my tools with a lot of care, and I anticipate I will be using these for a long time to come. I don't think anyone will go wrong with Shonsin at all, because these calipers rival units that cost 4 times more. Good job Shonsin!

This caliper is a great value. For general use measurements, the function is very reliable. I use this caliper at home for personal projects in wood and metal. I'm very happy with this product. I wish the latches on the case were a little higher quality. The fatigue hinge on one side is already beginning to tear.

The SHONSIN Absolute Scale Digital Caliper has an easy to read LCD display and it is as accurate as my $300+ "big name" digital calipers. It auto turns on when the jaws are moved, and it will either auto-off or can be turned off manually. When I put the calipers away, I leave the jaws slightly open, then turn the lock screw so that a bump to the case doesn't turn it on and waste the battery. The battery, by the way, is a common CR2032 (lithium) coin cell which has the advantage of lasting longer and not leaking like LR-44 cells do. All in all, I am 100% satisfied. Both thumbs up!
