WEN 10761 Electronic 6.1-Inch Digital Caliper with LCD Readout and Storage Case

I like it.. think it's a great value for 10-bucks and some change. I read a few reviews commenting on it being plastic effecting it's accuracy and I didn't have that experience at all. It is made of some type of plastic but its fiber reinforced or something.. light but of good quality and made with tight precise tolorences. No play or wiggle in the moving parts. I feel its accurate as I have a Harbor Freight metal one that often needs to be zeroed where as this one I calibrated or zeroed once and it's stayed dead zero after using and turning off and on four or five times in the few days I've had it. Also thought I would be bothered by it not having the rolling thumb wheel that most have but it has just the right amount of resistance when sliding that it feels controlled in use. Also it's nice that for this price it came with a case but even better is it taking the common 2032 batteries that everything takes and I keep on hand.. rifle scopes, garage opener, bathroom scales, key fobs.. etc. Another thing helpfull to me is having the fraction unit of measurement included with decimal and mm. Handy for woodworking.One thing that drove me crazy that I found an easy fix for is it rattled around inside the case to the point it seemed to be turning it on (it auto turns on when you start using it). Also the tiny screwdriver included for the battery just tumbles around all over inside.So.. here's the tip --If you look in the lid theres two small post one at each end that holds it in place when closed.. although way to loosly. If you cut three pieces of rubber 1/4 fuel line exactly 5/8" long, pushing one over each of the post adds just enough length for a rubber bumper to hold it in place with no movement when closed. You just have to slide it all the way to the right when laying it in the case. The third piece slid over the screwdriver handle makes it much easier to use (bigger and grippier) and it'll wedge in the oval storage area in front. See my pic if interested, it shows what I did.Also worth mentioning, if not noticed, there's a clear protective film on the screen that can be peeled off making the read out cleaner and sharper when reading.Good Value.. does what you bought it for well. I say its a good buy.

Although very inexpensive, it lives up to the WEN reputation of being a highquality tool. I will hardly ever use it and didn't want to invest a lot. I just need itonce in a great while, but it's proven to be very accurate and useful when I do. Iused it to measure the shafts on my mower spindles to buy new blades, andmeasured the u-joint caps on my truck to buy the right new u-joints. The 2 sizes of u-jointsoffered have only a 3 mm difference which makes a huge difference if they're wrong, andare impossible to measure accurately with a tape rule. This digital caliper made absolutelysure there was no mistake, and easily, the first time. So far, I'm quite pleased with it.

Pros:- The product is accurate and reliable thus far.- It has the ability to calibrate itself with a single button.- Standard and metric measurements.Cons:- Cheap plastic but overall decent.

If you know — you know. This one has required precision for woodworking. It also has fractions display, so it can work as a unit converter. It’s very readable, not just because of a bigger screen, but also because of better contrast. None of the other plastic calipers in this category has these features.It’s great WEN it works. It properly resets the scale on the length test, it correctly measures a length gage. It has on/off button, so batteries aren’t drained. Battery cover is screwed on, so a battery doesn’t suddenly jump out. It’s good enough to keep a protective box. I’ve bought several for different parts of my shop.

I like these Wen measuring tools. I bought a bunch of different ones. This one's plastic, but it has a nice readout. So, it's not the greatest one in the world that I own, but I like the readout.

I have been on the market for a new digital caliper and this one looks nice, but I was very surprised by the very cheap feel when I unboxed it. All light weight plastic, it feels very easy to mar the jaws on the outside measuring contact areas and even more frail on the inner measuring contact areas. My current caliper is not plastic and has a nice weight and feel with an actual thumb wheel for fine adjusting. This one is all flimsy plastic, with a thumb pad instead of a thumb wheel. There is also no knob to lock the position of the caliper in place. I won't return this as the cost was low enough, however I will most likely spend a bit more and get a higher quality tool, as I don't expect this one will last very long in a shop environment.Having said that, it is very inexpensive with a large, easy to read display. It has MM, inch decimal and fraction and it was spot on accurate with my higher quality digital caliper. Could be great tool for the right use case.

First I thought it was a joke, but due to how easy to use and have an auto-shut off feature unlike my other 2 calipers, I use this one all the time. I actually had enough of the metal made ones, this one is full plastic, but don't let that fool you, large LCD and just ease of use, i am not concerned by extreme accuracy, even if it's slightly inaccurate, which i don't know.

For a really inexpensive caliper, this works very well. Since it's so cheap, I don't worth about using it outdoors or in dirt. I needed to measure a in-ground rain gutter drain pipe inside diameter. Wiped it off afterwards, and it was fine.
