StarrettDial Caliper - Precision Measurement, Durable Stainless Steel - Black Color Dial, 0-6 Inches Range, .001 Inches Graduations, 1-1/2 Inches Dial Diameter - B120A-6

The B120A-6 dial caliper is from Starrett's made-in-the-US line of precision measurement tools. While the Chinese made tools are perfectly satisfactory for woodworking (I have the fractional-inch dial caliper), the B120A seems to be better made in terms of overall quality of work and finish. As a +/-0.001" caliper, it certainly is designed and made to a higher level of accuracy than the factional-inch caliper, which measures down to 1/64th. My initial trials with feeler gauges, drill bits, and other accurately machined items indicates that my new caliper gives accurate, repeatable results down to a thousandth of an inch. A great measuring device. Further proof that you get what you pay for, if you are willing to pay.

The build quality was mostly good except for 3 things. The upper jaws were .002 thou off. The dial shield was plastic (was worried about it scratching) and the needled rubbed on one part of the dial and I could see wear after just a day of use. But like I say the upper jaws were .002 thou off. That was a deal breaker. Returned for a refund. Not worth the price for all the issues. I have pairs that are a third the price that can read an accurate measurement with the upper jaws.

Well made. Accurate. Superb.

I've used Starrett measuring tools for year, the accuracy and quality are second to none.if you want the best in measurement, you'll want Starrett.

These calipers seem to be high quality. They wern't quite as smooth as I expected. Checked it on a 1/2" plug gage and a 1" gage block. It was spot on even after several months. Sadly, they had to be sent in for repair when someone dropped them and damaged the tip of the jaws.

A+

Great product. Thank you.

Very nice tool. Would recommend any starrett tool.
