Gets good reviews.

Amazon is a little "sneaky" about their reviews, and makes it hard to find the more objective or less positive reviews.

From the reviews for this item:
"A piece of junk. "
"usually it just produces random numbers, measurements that are impossible (22 inches?!). "
"I've yet to get this caliper to work correctly. The numbers/measurements go all over the place! "
"I know it's not meant to be the best caliper in the world, but this is plain trash."
"When I received the product the display randomly changing numbers"
"I have thrown it to garbage after three days of use"

Normally we could dismiss this as a few difficult people, but when more than 22% of the reviews are negative, that often means it's a product issue.
