The caliper has a good weight to it and it appears to be well made. Appearance can be deceiving, since it did not work when it arrived. I replaced the batteries (which tested fine with a multimeter, but hey why not try the easy fix) to no avail. Just save yourself a headache and get a Mitutoyo. These were cheap for a reason.
I received the product and it was completely dead. Replaced the battery, but still no fix. Wouldn’t turn on. Looks like I am not the only one with this problem. Other amazon reviewer had same issue. I also checked the batteries with a multimeter to confirm they were good but I couldn’t get it to work no matter what.
I called Max Tool and asked for an exchange. They gave me an RMA and said a new model would ship as soon as they received the defective unit. A few days later, before shipping it back, I decided I wanted a full refund instead. I called customer support and changed my RMA to full refund. They collected my credit card info to process the refund. 3 days later I get an email from Fed-Ex showing a new caliper is heading my way. What??! That’s not what I asked for. Calling customer service was no help. They stated that I *ordered* a new caliper on my last call and refused to help. Their answer was for me to refuse the package when Fed-Ex shows up. Now i’m stuck with a 15% restocking fee for a junk product that I didn’t order.
Really poor service!
If it had worked, I agree with the other reviewer, the product feels really cheap. It does not have smooth sliding action and the thumbwheel has poor traction. I guess you get what you pay for.
