Hilka 76915000 6-Inch Vernier Calipers

Service:Item was dispatched about an hour from purchase and arrived by DHL the next morning. The item was well packaged in a generous amount of bubble wrap and was still sealed in plastic.Enclosure:The caliper comes in a plastic box. Unfortunately the rear side of the box was broken on arrival (which is not clear in the images because its broken but still connected and fell off when i closed it again), but doesnt really effect its ability to snap shut - however the thinner end of the caliper does slide through the hole! Other than that the plastic is sturdy, has a nice space for your thumb to go in to open it, and needs a good amount of force to open - meaning the seal is very good.The inside of the enclosure is lined with a thin sponge on the top and bottom. It is a little on the thin side and the caliper sits on top of it rather than inside, so the caliper can move/ rattle around if it isnt sandwiched between the sponges.Caliper:The caliper iteself is of very good quality - it has a good feel to it and a decent weight. The markings feel like they are engraved (but in all honesty I can't tell because it feels raised with my fingernail!).I used a feeler/ thickness gauge to test the accuracy of the calipers and its pretty good (see pictures). The gap and depth gauge also seem aligned by eye.The caliper has a maximum measurement of 15.24cm as stated and sits exactly at zero when fully closed.All in all im very happy with the caliper and would recommend. I havent used it enough yet as I only received it today to comment on its durability.

Product was ok but arrived with the box that holds the Vernier brokenFrom reading reviews I am not the only one to receive their Vernier with a broken container.It means the Vernier is now more costly as I will have to purchase something that I can keep it in.I will make temporary repairs to the box in the meantime.Bit disappointed by this as I'm sure carelessness was to blame for the damage.

If I was doing precision work it would be a failzero reading is a fraction off to negative and it definitely fails light test.but compared to other brands I've seen lately and intended use it's a passcase insert could have been moulded for snag fit so caliper doesn't wobble in itgood sturdy steel construction - hence 4 stars

Very happy with these calipers, they are lined up perfectly fine for my needs. Box is ok with foam padding.

Tool is of nice quality and is quite accurate. Unfortunately, faded markings make it difficult to read.

Ok

Great quality, easy to read, high precision

Good price, smooth action, accurate
