Seem solid and well made, for the price point.
If I had only looked at the instructions I would have sent these back right away as they are for a metric micrometer so I thought that’s what I got. Fortunately I checked and the actual devices were imperial. If you know how to read a micrometer, the instructions will tell you how to calibrate the devices, kind of, but you have to know to use the included calibration pieces which is obvious but it doesn’t mention them. If you don’t know how to read a micrometer don’t expect information from the instructions. You will need to learn elsewhere, but they are more on how to operate them than on how to read them. The actual devices seem sturdy, mine were smooth to operate and easy to calibrate, assuming the calibration pieces are correct. They have a scale all the way to 10’s (10,000ths not “10ths”) as they should, but nothing I’m doing with them requires that much accuracy lol. I tried the 1-2” device on a new brake rotor with a known thickness and it looked accurate enough.

Nice tool, but be aware that the enclosed instructions show millimeters whereas tool is in inches.
This just arrived today. It appears to be a very nice tool, especially for the price. There is just one thing I would mention other buyers to be aware of. The micrometer is graduated in inches, which is consistent with the description. However, the page that comes packed with the item describes it in millimeters and shows a diagram graduated in millimeters. That should pose no problem. Just wanted you to not be surprised.

great tool to have in your box.
Good quality great price easy to use and a must have for any one needing to get reliable measurements really accrete.excellent Outside Micrometer set for only $40 bucks you can't possibly pass that up!

They're not Starrett, but they'll do just fine for most.
These micrometers worked wonderfully. They are indeed very precise and accurate. Repeatability is well under .0001" (one tenth). The only beef I have is the calibration standards. They should have spherically-ground ends, and be accurate! Instead, what they give you is bar shaped "standards" with flat-ground ends, which make it needlessly difficult to locate them between the carbide anvils properly. As far as accuracy, the 1" standard, using the zeroed 0-1" mic measures 1.0006". From there, the 2" standard, using the 1-2" mic, "zeroed" at 1.0006" against the 1.0006" standard measures 2.0009". Don't expect them to be accurately calibrated out of the box. At least with this set, one can discover and adjust for however much inaccuracy there is in the standards, and calibrate the mics accordingly. I have to think that actually supplying accurate, properly shaped standards really wouldn't be that difficult or expensive though, so I'm deducting a star for that.Of course, all of this inaccuracy could very well be due to not having spherical ends on the standards, and as such being so fiddly that I unknowingly never actually did accurately locate them between the anvils. I'll likely end up getting some better standards and update my review accordingly.The build quality (other than the standards) seem excellent. There is some rough finish on the sleeve of the 1-2" mic I received, but not enough to complain about. The ratchet stop works fine, and the thimble has a smooth, fluid action. The lock is precise and does what it's meant to do without complaint.For the price, I'm keeping them.

Accurate inspection
One of the mics needed to be adjusted a little bit but the other two was right on point. Great mics for the price

Great value.
Worked as expected. Good build quality. Included gauge blocks to check accuracy. I mainly used the 3-4inch for setting it to standard cylinder bore sizes for my 2AZ-FE engine.

Not right
When the reading is a dead 0 the . 000x scale should be at 0 also. In my pics this should read . 8750. If I use the 10 thousandth scale in this example I could conceivably come up with. 8759, especially if inexperienced or lacking in common sense. If that sounds nit picky remember these are micrometers advertised as accurate to the 10 thousandth of an inch. These sleeves are junk, rendering the instrument useless. Which is too bad, I would like to find cheap accurate tools.

Great tool to have
This helped me realize that my main journals were wore out.
