Standard and Metric Digital Micrometer with 0 in. to 1 in. Range, 0.00005 in. Accuracy, LCD Readout and Storage Case

This WEN Digital Micrometer is very nice. This is a precision instrument that has some capabilities that only those in very high tech machining like aerospace, etc. might use. It reads in both metric and English scales, with accuracy from 0 to 1 in. or 25 mm, with resolution down to 0.00005 in. or 0.001 mm, much more detailed than I (or most any DIY ot home shop types) will ever need. It can be set for reading incremental differences in measurements and putting those incremental differences into a computer (through the included USB SPC output port) for graphing. Changing scales is a matter of simply pushing the button. Calibration is just as easy. Simply hold the on/off button for a couple of seconds. It comes in a good plastic case with a place for everything, even the the battery compartment tool. The instructions are good. It includes a spare CR2032 (very common) battery. It also includes a ball bearing tip for use with irregular shapes. I found it very easy to adjust with the ratchet and thimble, and the lever type lock works well. I have other micrometers, but I really like this one with the Digital Readout which makes it much easier for my old eyes to see. About the only thing that could make it better would be a backlit display, but I'll never be using it in dim lighting anyway. There are much more expensive micrometers out there, but I see no need to invest in them for my purposes. It’s hard to beat the quality and usefulness of this micrometer at a price anywhere near this. An excellent tool!

Precision at a fraction of the price of the S & M brands. The switchable inch/metric display is easy to read. Includes a USB port for direct data collection, not tested. Attachable ball bearing tip enables measurements of tubing wall thickness and other irregular surfaces. Powered by the widely available CR2032 battery. Remove battery if not in use for extended time. OFF setting switches off the display but circuitry is not fully off. Black parts of frame, thimble, and ratchet are plastic. It’s too soon to assess durability. Includes a protective hard plastic carrying case. Significant drawback: Lacks a mechanical vernier scale for backup if battery fails and for checking LCD accuracy. Two year warranty.

Seems to be a great instrument. I was thinking about buying a premium brand, but after seeing how many fakes are on the market and high prices from legit distributors, I decided to buy WEN. So far so good for my DIY projects.

Battery terminals was getting crushed and pushed inside the housing which made the battery in inoperable. Never had a chance to use it, it was returned the same day I received it.

Very impressed. Bargain price. Superior quality.

The mics are off by .003. Thats a lot when the tolerence could only be off by .003/ I was extremely disappointed. I had to go to Starrett.

Easy to read, use and store!
