I really don't know where you received the idea that I think all Chinese precision instrumentation is junk. In summary to my statement that you responded to is this: I have found that Chinese precision instrumentation has failed, in my view, prematurely. And I said for that reason, I rely on these reviews to give me better insight on whether or not I will get lasting desirable use of the tool if I were to buy it. Of course I don't use all of it. Fact most of the time I just saved my money and buy either Japanese or American instrumentation. I have been more happy with that practice. Thanks for your comment
I have a few pairs of digital calipers but they are always dead. So I have several analog calipers, including ones that are fractional which are useful to me in woodworking. Especially as my eyesight is getting worse as I age. I can read something easily at 1/64" whereas on a scale it's just blurry to me.
Bahahahaha! Only below the Equator! Well played sir! You know there is a Japanese tool designer that works for Mitutoyo out there who just read this and is furiously doing searches for research into Coriolis effect and inertial dampening.🤣 by God, he will not be bested!!!
The chips in this type of calipers have three modes. One of those modes is a fractional reading. Depends on which the manufacturer turns on. Typically, it's used as an excuse to charge more for an essentially identical gage. Uncommon with professional tools. They're totally different designs.
I like big displays, it's easyer to read than with migraines. 🤔🤗 A led light would be also nice. 🤗 I wonder how accurate they are in Inside and depth measurements 🤔 and how they are done on the metal parts, are they sloppy or this ki d of things, that would destroy the precision totally.
Thank you for the showcasing. I thought I'd do a youtube search on the blue industrial caliper and came across this video. I own a set of the General calipers and have been mostly satisfied with them. In terms of fit, finish, and smooth runout, which of the three calipers on your bench would be the better selection?Thank you!
@@jones2745 you've cut and pasted this same comment on two completely different videos. Based on your English grammar, your name and profile pic, and your defensive nature of Chinese tools, I'm going to assume you work for this caliper company. Am I right?
@@smashyrashy Interestingly, about a third of the individual accounts I'd blocked on YT came from this channel. Not sure why. I'll think about it. Regardless, we won't meet again.
128th is irritating. if you need more accuracy than 64th you won't be using fractional measurements. 64th is what you need for woodworking and metal fabricating. for accurage machining you will need to use mm or imperial decimal notation, not fractional notation. 128ths makes these nearly useless for woodworking because it takes more time to figure the closest 64th which is what you need to know.
Pretty good looking calipers! I have a Chinese digital set that's served pretty well for at least five years now.
Yup! These Chinese instrumentation tools are really a crapshoot and I rely on these types of reviews to help me decide

@@jones2745 derrrrrp. Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, huh?
Thanks for the tip. Just ordered it :)
Great video and great information

yeah but does it have metric fractions?
No but it does have inertial dampeners to limit the impact of the Coriolis effect when using it left-handed.
@@lastbesttool ""The Coriolis Effect?" I'm in tears! :)

wish I could afford a mitutoyo kit, but that's not going to happen for a while. In the mean time, this looks like a good option
German brand calipers are also very good and cheaper than the Japanese ones.
do the qfun calipers have glass screens?
Just get a Wixey digital calipers. It has both read outs on one screen.
Hi Doc, any chance of that coupon price coming back around again? (I love your channel - so much to learn!Thank you.)

Discount Code?!?! 2 on order - Thanks Doc!

if you ever get to many free tools you can always send me your extras any one of those calipers would be appreciated lol

I havent seen fractions on a vernier before thats really neat
Vernier is a scale. If you're interested, run a quick search.
@@felixf5211 vernier callipers = digital calipers in my book but im really not bothered by who calls their tools what names i just use them
@@smashyrashy Facts don't care about personal preference. Good luck.
@@felixf5211 you must not have a lot of friends
