Congrats - Plz let us know what you think after you have used it a few times. I’m betting you are going to be really happy at first and then more happy each time you use it to solve for something else as you do various projects. After your first half dozen or so projects with it you will wonder why it took you so long to adopt it and why everyone doesn’t have one. Just my guess - YMMV, but that’s the prediction.
OK, here's an update. I've received the iGaging caliper(s?) and have made a few measurements that I wanted to make - these needed sub-mm accuracy so the 0.01 mm accuracy that I get is currently irrelevant; however I needed the calipers for the jaws and depth measurement. They cost me about £37 including delivery.
1) the build and general fit-and-finish is good - no visible gap between jaws when closed; very smooth movement with no rough spots; returns to 0 when jaws are closed with almost 100% reliability (very occasional 0.01 mm error). The only noticeable weak point is the thumb wheel, which catches on the body from time to time when engaged, and a perhaps 0.01 mm discrepancy between end-of-outer-jaws and center-of-outer-jaws.
2) I've only ever used manual verniers before; I find that the real-time feedback of distance to an accuracy of 0.01 mm is slightly disturbing - tiny motions change the numbers and make me feel that I'm making an incorrect measurement - I think that, at the moment, I prefer the set/remove/read process of a manual tool.
3) I'm not mad keen on the added bulk of the display/control box - I feel that it could get in the way of jaw placement in confined spaces.
Overall, these are very nice, and I'm glad that I bought them...however, yeah, they're nice. A bit too nice to use in a cold garage where they could be damaged, maybe? So I'm now thinking that I want some cheap vernier calipers that I care less about, with say 0.1 mm accuracy, which will be OK for many measurements that I want to do. So I've bought, also, a set of the real cheap plastic calipers listed upthread, just to see how cheap you can go. (I got them for £1.89 including delivery, so yes, they're cheap - I also saw them being used on that Youtube channel where the Finnish guy crushes things with a press, which piqued my interest).
And, it's quite amazing (to me) but with a bit of care, I can get about 0.1 mm accuracy (as checked by the iGaging) with the cheapo plastic things - with the outside jaws at least - depth measurement is about 1 mm off, so useless. The smaller pink/orange one is actually better than the larger grey one - the larger grey one gives an error of -6 thou when closed, on the mm scale (yes, I only had an imperial feeler gauge to check with), but I can fix that up with a bit of aluminium foil or something. I've spent some time checking between the plastic junk and the iGaging magnificence, and I'm reliably able to measure to about +/- 0.15 mm with the plastic things.
So that's the current state of play - if I can find some 10 quid steel verniers that reliably measure to 0.1 mm, I'd be even happier, but I think that at that price point, you can buy unusable junk on the internet and simply be 10 quid down - hardly matters for £1.89 though.
