Only £8.99! I bought three...of which one was faulty so they exchanged it. Very good value with a case, read in metric or imperial, and a spare battery!

I already own 2 of them (exactly the same) with different brands; I paid the first 20€, about 3 years ago and the 2nd 10€, last year, in a supermarket in Poland. Both work well.

I also purchased two from Aldi here in The Fatherland several years ago. Outstanding value and both have delivered sterling service.


Cheers,

I presume that model is Chinese-made and is essentially identical to one that is sold through Harbor Freight & Tool and several other outlets in the U.S. HF&T puts them on sale for around $15 USD from time to time. I bought one and liked it so well that I went back and bought another on the assumption that the first would have a limited life and eventually need replacement. That's been nearly three years and the second is yet to be taken from its box.

The instrument is accurate and repeatable. If I were using a caliper professionally, I'm sure I would pay ten times that amount for a device which could be certified, but for a reloader, this one does everything you could ask and more.

I think they are a great value too, the only suggestion I have is to remove the battery if you are not going to use it on a daily basis, as they will drain them pretty quickly even sitting unused and even when you replace the batteries with a quality one.


for every hour in front of the computer you should have 3 hours outside

Loaded up some 280 cartridges last night and it was a real pleasure to be able to simply check correct OAL on these things! And I used to use the old type (with no digital read-out just a comparison scale) and squint and stare to see which line corresponded with which!
