For < £5, I think these are "reasonable". Checked tolerance against a high quality stainless steel set that I also own, and they're pretty close, I tend to agree about +or- 0.2mm accuracy. They are NOT carbon fibre as advertised but made of high density plastic! DOWNSIDES: Turns itself on with the slight movement. No case (I made my own makeshift case - see pics. You need to zero the calipers "regularly", + I suggest taking 2 measurements each time you measure. DON'T use them where "extreme" high tolerance is "important". PROS: Cheap to buy. Good for working with something you don't want to scratch like e.g. watches and jewellery. Quick reading nice big digital display. Handy lightweight.

It's not a bad caliper for the price,as it's mainly plastic I didn't like how the slightest touch switched it on, I almost get the sense that there isn't enough weight in it for the sliding bevel to stay in situ. It is ok for the price, but as it's my first one, I know next time to spend a little more and purchase a metal one with more robust features.

I bought this to use on my guitar making, its perfect for this , its accurate enough for wood, very lightweight being made from carbon fibre . It switches on as soon as you start to measure with it, has all the features of an expensive one, measures in mm and inches , great as i work in both !! great value too . well worth it for under £5 .

Good value for money. Not stainless steel, just plastic largely, so a bit flexible and won't be too durable, use with extra care. Want a more robust product, go for the more expensive stainless types.

I was surprised that the product is as accurate as it is. The display is easy to read and shuts down when not in use, saving the battery. All round a good little tool and very good value for money.
