6" and 4" Fractional Digital Calipers

When it comes to measuring stock, fitting precise joints and setting up machines, a digital caliper is one of the handiest tools to have around. Both of these models read in convenient fractions so you don't have to memorize decimal equivalents or make conversions in your head. Unlike most fractional calipers, which read in 1/64ths, these read in 1/128ths for maximum precision. Best of all, you can switch from fractions to decimals to millimeters with just the push of a button.

Ultra-smooth sliding action allows you to dial in your setting quickly, then lock it down with the knurled knob. Measure inside, outside, depth and steps. Both calipers include a pre-installed battery, a spare battery and a padded plastic case. Aside from length, the 4" and 6" models are identical.

Technical Details: Large LCD numbers, convenient fractions, and read in 1/128ths for maximum precision. Switch from fractions to decimals to millimeters with just the push of a button. Features smooth sliding action and knurled kob. Includes pre-installed SR44 Battery and a spare battery. Includes padded plastic case. What's in the Box?

1) Submitted by Jim, from Scottsdale, AZ on 7/11/2011 Customer Rating: This is a well made product. When it comes to measurement tools, I need a reliable tool that I can trust for repeatability and accuracy. I chose this based on price and past experience with Rockler products. This one replaces a dial caliper and a vernier caliper. The best part about this tool is that I can make my measurement, then switch among fractions, decimal or metric to suit the application. This is much more convenient than picking up another caliper to measure again. Unlike some calipers out there, it comes with a padded case to protect it while laying around among other tools.

2) Submitted by John Hylton, from Salem, OR on 6/26/2011 Customer Rating: This is an upgrade from an analog manual caliper for me, so it was a major improvement. I doubt I will ever need down to 1/128" of an inch precision, but for the money it's a great deal. I am enjoying using it !

3) Submitted by Jim Arnold, from Easton, MD on 5/18/2011 Customer Rating: For the money, this is an excellent tool and it's nice to have the fractional ability. But as others have implied, a fractional reading to the nearest 32nd of an inch is usually enough for me... It would be nice to be able to specify a round off to the nearest eighth, sixteenth, 32nd, etc. Sorry...Give me something great and I always want more.

4) Submitted by Marc, from Detroit, MI on 3/13/2011 Customer Rating: This is a quality product...with good attention to detail in it's construction. I was pleasantly surprised to see it came with a sturdy shock resistant case and a back-up battery. I have used other digital calipers but none of them compared to this. The auto on/off feature is very nice, and the display is easy to read. A must have for any shop, and worth upgrading to.

5) Submitted by Tom, from Oak Forest, IL on 9/13/2010 Customer Rating: Good quality product...accurate. I like the large numbers and the ability to switch between fractions, decimals, and millimeters. I use it for a variety of measurements e.g. board thickness, table saw blade depth, screw/bolt and drill size determination. Agree with a previous reviewer that measurement to 1/128th of an inch is more precision than I need as a woodworker. This is an electronic piece of equipment and should be treated as such i.e. I wouldn't be 'tossing' it on the workbench.

6) Submitted by Larry Kettlewell, from Topeka, KS on 5/21/2010 Customer Rating: This is a really superb upgrade to old analog calipers which can on occasion be subject to misreading measurement reticles. Accurate, hefty and just plain handy. A really good value for the price.

7) Submitted by Mike O., from Caledonia , NY on 3/10/2010 Customer Rating: This just what I needed so I can take accurate measurements. It's so much better than trying to read a tape measure in many situations.
