Use it for any measurement within it's range. Specially great if parts must be precision made and fitted precisely.

Unit was shipped by placing inside the box of a portamate mega vise, and unprotected from the vise. Caliper case was crushed in transit, I now need to test the caliper for accuracy. Not satisfied with how the product was shipped!

I mainly use this to get an accurate thickness of lumber when planed and when I need joining boards to be equally thick. It is also good for getting accurate measurements between open spaces such as daddo slots. The on/off switch is level with the top of the top panel which makes it harder to turn on and off. However, that also makes it harder to accidentally turn on or off. I would prefer to have the button to protrude a little to make it easier to turn on/off. The tool appears to be accurate, and the fractional display is OK but over rated. The tool is also a little bulky compared to my old 6" caliper due to its larger size. This may be a good thing for those with larger hands. I am short and have small hands. Over all, this is a good tool and very easy to read. The auto off is also a very good feature to save the battery when you forget to turn it off as I often do. My major complaint is that it quit working after I droped a C-clamp on it. I wish it had legs so it could have gotten out of the way. Don't be this careless unless you love replacing perfectly good tools especially a nonreplaceable gift from your granddaughter)

I have only used it a few times so far but it seems to be a good, well made tool. I like the fractions.

I like the fractional readings, but you only get them when the reading is exact, as advertised. What would be useful would be to see something like a fractional reading with a + sign to indicate when you're between fractions. E.g., 7/64+. Otherwise you've got to roll back and forth to see where you are or convert the decimal.

The fractional display feature is definitely useful. I have checked the accuracy against Whiteside setup blocks and my tool is accurate.
