They're great. Just remember to take out the battery once you've used it

How can it be a digital vernier guage?

A vernier is a scale slightly smaller than the adjacent scale that allows the next unit of measurement to be established by its alignment

Same as a hoover is a vacuum cleaner etc.

Nobody calls them calipers at work, just verniers.

I bought a digital caliper for a similar price, tested it on a shim, was spot on.

It looks identical to those sold by Clarkes so it should be fairly reasonable.

They are good but eat batteries so when u need it its flat :(

Got an analogue one for £12.99 at the stafford show last year much better.
