Mitutoyo Calipers
When it comes to calipers Mitutoyo is the real deal. You wont find your cheap brittle calipers that you find in Wal-Mart. These are made to be precise, accurate, and reliable. The Mitutoyo takes their products very seriously, as they come from a place of integrity and honesty. They do their work with the hopes to put their buddhist soul into everything they do. They claim one of their main principles is “To contribute to the wellbeing of society through precision measurement technologies”. That’s definitely something to trust in.
A nice feature of the Mitutoyo calipers is the fact that they all come standard with a nice LCD display so you will never have to eyeball what reading you are getting, it’s displayed for you in giant bold letters. That can be a constant source for mistakes when taking measurements over and over, you may slip up reading a number or have trouble reading the small scale numbers that are usually used on non display.
Some standard features that come with the Mitutoyo calipers are:
- Made to be safe when exposed to coolant, water, dust, or oil
- The scale is very easy to use, no need to wipe or clean after use.
- Functional, and stylish
- Incorporates an absolute measurement system
- Will automatically power itself on or off when used or left out
- Has the ability to output data
- Comes standard with a thumb roller
- Comes in a safe and protective fitted plastic case
There are several different qualities of calipers that you can choose from with many different features for each. You can buy industrial grade calipers if you want all the bells and whistles that come along with that, and insane precision and accuracy. If you just want one for the home or small business to make accurate measurements they’ll have that for you as well. No need to have only 1 for all jobs, it can save money to make a well informed decision. Also if you’d like to get some really nice calipers and not spend any unnecessary cash you can go with the calipers without the LCD display, and just the standard caliper that shows a point along a ruler measuring the width of the item in between the caliper arms.
There is also the choice of buying the dial calipers if you are into that. They offer a method of reading that is a bit easier to read than the ruler method, but may cost a few extra bucks. Another feature you can choose from on your calipers are the length of the caliper jaws. If you need to get into deep areas you can get the extra long jawed calipers, but if you want to do the standard measuring you can get the typical medium to short sized jaws. Plastic is also thrown in the mix. You can get an LCD plastic caliper that will be a bit cheaper than the metal LCD caliper, so if you don’t plan on being in a rough environment and you know your caliper wont get cranked on in any situation you can go with the plastic one to save some cash.
Overall the Mitutoyo calipers are a great brand to go with and have all the features and price ranges you can ask for. There’s not a whole lot to calipers but what features that are available, Mitutoyo has them. They’re well known for their friendly service and positive corporate outlook, which is rare to find nowadays, and we’re sure anything you get from them you will be quite happy with.
