Going to be hit and miss. I still have my 12" $20 china brand calipers. They skipped a tooth, but still accurate to about .001" on a 6" gage block stackup.
Yes you get what you pay for but still when you can buy a hard drive that has electronics,
software, very small mechanical parts etc at $50-60 paying $150 for a vernier caliper is way
too much.
I would expect that they make way more hard drives than calipers. Economy of scale.
I am not talking about very low cost measuring tools. Those at $10-15 are not good and everyone
that uses such a tool cannot expect a good quality tool.
I am talking about the $25-30 and above.
I have received today a 5mm indicator with 1 micron resolution (cost about $35). Very nice, good quality,
heavy and sturdy.
I was wondering about Shahe, Terma and other digital calipers at the price range of $30 and up
Thanks,

COVID-19 overhead has priced PRC goods clear out of my market.
Tried Persian made?
Madagascar?
Papua New Guinea?
In all seriousness, buy a Mitutoyo Absolute coolant-proof. They're about $150 and worth every penny.
Well, I spent more than thirty years running exclusively Etalon and doing a lot of grinding. I bought an 8" dial caliper for the office a while back down on Beijing lu for $18. It's fine. It's not an Etalon but it's just as good as mittymoto.I pay $1 for coffee at the gas station. Tastes fine to me.
I pick up a Chinese made caliper that cost $35 and my skin crawls.
I guess it all depends on what you get used to and what the expectation is.

I missed it, what happened to Gordon?
