Moore and Wright Digital Caliper

A quick review of the Moore and Wright Digital Caliper MW110-15DBL. This is a 0-150mm or 0-6 inch caliper from their Value Line.

Must admit that I bought this after breaking the screen on my very old Machine DRO caliper. I have since replaced the screen.

I have always liked M&W tools and this stands up to the mark. It’s solid, clear screen, auto-off doesn’t reset the position to zero (this drives me mad on some of the cheap knock-offs). Only had it a week, but get the feeling this is going to live permanently on my workbench.

Conclusion

This value line Moore and Wright digital caliper is actually rather nice. It does help that I got this in the sale at less than half price from Machine DRO. However, it is a solid quality item.
