Very useful item, bought initially for measuring beads. I use it daily and measure various items around the home. I would rate it as useful as a pair of scissors. Essential item to have in the craft box for various crafts. Stiff sliding at first but soon becomes smooth.

This is more lightweight and lower quality than the pictures suggest, and the calibration of the vernier was quite far off... also, I had to clean and apply oil before it would move anything like smoothly... but, for the price it's hard to complain. If it had been any more expensive, I would have given it 2 stars, but after carefully removing 0.2mm from the face, mine is reading reasonably accurately, and so it is a usable tool if you need something compact.

I keep a micrometer for the super-critical meticulous jobs but this is just fine, with a tolerance of 0.1mm for most stuff. Sturdy, well made, easy to operate, nice brass construction and just the job for that quick measurement.

I bought this so that I can measure sizes of beads and it suits my needs very well. It needed a little bit of lubrication before first use and could have done with the edges rounded slightly. Otherwise a very good for purpose item

Very portable, well made and easy to use. Initially a little stiff but lubricating oil resolved the issue and now works perfectly
