Good value, but...
The finish is a bit rough; German, Swiss, and Swedish tools have much finer finish. Sliding between surfaces needed some polish work and lubrication. BUT, these have a good weight and feel. Good accuracy for small jobs and measuring noncritical parts.

Solid Brass Calipers
Bought the set of 2" and 4" calipers. I'm very satisfied with them. Some folks have mentioned that they needed a little lubrication or that the edges needed dressing, but I did not find this necessary. A quality product at a very reasonable price. -
Solid Brass Calipers
Really?! Like there is actually a below grade item in your catalog. I have bought other tools from you before and they are ALWAYS top notch. There was no disappointment this time either. Thanks again for another quality item.
Thanks again,

a measured response -from a robot
Very convenient, easy to use, small enough to carry around while working. Solid brass is great as I don't have to be too careful with them - eg. drop them or something else land on them or whatever. Vernier works well, in metric only, which is OK, most of my small measuring is in metric. I have checked them, very accurate to the tenth of a mm (i.e. the vernier)

simple and effective
Nicely built brass calipers. Small enough to carry in your apron and very accurate. -
Buy These Calipers!
I love these calipers. They are solid brass and you can tell when you pick them up. I use them every day aboard the Navy ship I am Chief Engineer on. They are with me in my pocket every day for on-the-spot measurements of bolt/ nut sizes, wire diameter, small part dimensions and dozens of other things in either inch or metric. They save me so much time running back and forth guessing on wrench sizes, and writing repair specs that require precision measurements. And at the end of the day they just look and feel so much better than those crappy stainless steel calipers they sell at the "hardwarehouses". Thanks for stocking real quality tools for those of us who still care. Cheers! -
Convenient and handy, but. . .
I was disappointed to find that these calipers are made in India. The roughness of the finish and stiffness of the operation are not surprising given that fact. I had to dress the edges of the insert on the small caliper with a file and then give them a good dose of silicone spray lube to get it to work decently.They seem to be reasonably accurate.Overall, while quality is lacking, they are adequate for small jobs where tight tolerances are not an issue. -
Beautiful 2 inch, Solid Brass Caliper
This is a beautiful, tiny little tool, perfect for the antique tool lover, EDC enthusiast or jewelry maker. Came as described - solid brass construction, precisely fitted. -
Lovely Stocking Stuffer for the Tool Lover
I purchased this set of solid brass calipers for my husband. At 2 and 4 inches, these calipers are not the most user-friendly, versatile, or utilitarian tools for a woodworker's shop. However, I was not looking for a strictly practical or utilitarian caliper. Their miniature size and precise, solid brass construction were perfect for my husband, for whom quality materials, unique applications, and antique tools are appealing. I would have preferred that they come in a nice box as a set, but that is simply a personal preference, and does not detract from these tools' beautiful presentation. -
Review of brass calipers x 2, 2 inch and 4 inch.
I have purchased from you before; the objects I ordered were extremely well made and very useful. the brass calipers that I just received are very well made and extremely easy to read and utilize. The ones I had were excessively large, stiff, and difficult to read, and too make matters worse, were inaccurate.. Everything I have obtained from your company has been first rate. These calipers are solid brass, and extremely accurate. Thy are first rate and very easy to read. -
Small Calipers
Handy item to have in my Measuring / Marking Tool arsenal. Great for checking thread sizes, clearance holes, thicknesses, etc. Good bang for the buck! -
Useful Pair
Great for small thickness and width measurements. The small one is a fixture in my upper apron pocket and the 4in one is on my bench. Other than needing a drop of oil to loosen up the slide, and learning which direction to push the nib, they work like a charm. -
Great Calipers
These calipers will help immensely with precision woodworking tasks. Unfortunately I have not as yet received them. I am hopeful they will match my review once I actually get them on site. -
Brass Caliper
Be sure to check zero mark before using. Mine was off by about 3/32. Just need to make new zero mark. Easy correction. -
Beautiful calipers
These are beautifully made brass calipers. I bought these for a woodworking friend and he was blown away. Beautiful tools are a delight! Thanks for your great selection.
