Neiko Stainless Steel 6-Inch Digital Caliper with Extra-Large LCD Screen - Instant SAE-Metric Conversion Review. When you require exact measuring, you reach for a caliper. But an accurate measurement is meaningless if you can't read it accurately. This caliper takes an essential tool into the 21st century with an extra-large LCD digital readout for exact internal and outside measurements accurate to .001". Instantly converts from SAE or Metric, the display can be zeroed at any point on the slide. Machine-grooved thumb-roll mechanism and position lock for sure adjustment. Hardened stainless steel shaft with depth-measurement probe, precision ground jaws. On-off switch with auto-off, two long-life batteries included (one spare)....
"Versatile, easy to use and accurate" 2007-02-13

If you want analog, this is not for you. I've got three calipers including this one. One is metric only. Another is inches only. And then here's this one which does both with very good accuracy.
It has a good solid feel and the digital readoutis handled by three simple button controls. I frequently use it in preference to the more expensive alternates because it's accurate and I sometimes want to do both inch and metric measurements without having to use a second tool.
It does not offer an alternatie analog readout except in the crudest terms. It shouldn't.

For the money, you cannot beat this product. I work in a Navy calibration laboratory and calibrated it with gage block standards and it was right on, dead nutz.

What a bargain? This product allows me to make high resolution measurements in multiple directions. It has a digital readout that switches from US to Metric redouts, and is very durable stainless steel fro an excellent price.
"Surprisingly well made and solid feel" 2007-07-10
By G. Lee (New Jersey)
I was surprised to see how well made this tool is. The actual calipers were machined with precision and fits together very well when closed. The moving parts all operate smoothly. The zero at any point is a good feature if you want to measure differences. Also, to have both metric and SAE on the same unit is just gravy. I might had gotten 800 on my SAT back in the day but now I can barely calculate changes at McD...

This is an excellent product. Everything worked as expected. It's very easy to read. The fractional option is seldom used but it's nice to know that it's there. I particularly liked the fact that it turns on and shuts off automatically. (No more dead batteries!) It's an instrument that you just use without any frustrations. I plan to buy another.
