Question:	degree adjustble bezel? Knurled thumb roll
Answer:	I believe user error and not reading the manual. DC current measurements are quite straight forward. Place function switch in the A position, LCD screen will show DC and some value -004.3 as mine does. Now you must clear or reset by pressing the delta/range button. To read current open clamp and place over a " Single" wire. Negative wire will be slightly higher in value then the positive wire.

User questions & answers

Question:	does your caliper say "shock proof" in the dial? I just got mine, and and it does not say shock proof anywhere on it
Answer:	I bought the caliper when we were at our home in Tampa FL and left it there so I can't look at the dial, but I do not remember it saying shockproof.I am satisfied with the operation and accuracy of the instrument. Do you mean electrically shockproof? It is metal and surely if exposed to a wire with voltage on it you could be shocked. If you are worried about the utility of the tool in a rough physical environment I would say it is fairly shockproof that way. Does the product description say it is "shockproof". And even if so it would not necessarily have to have that written or stamped on the instrument.
Question:	Country of Manufacture? Think Amazon would get the clue to put this info on the product description
Answer:	Really? That isn't even necessary any more. There is very little doubt that it's made "in Asia" (the actual country being both immaterial and ambiguous) just like everything else in your life is made "in Asia" because people in North America and Europe are too greedy to work for small paychecks. Even those very rare things that are final-assembled in North America are built entirely of parts made somewhere in Asia, from Asian raw materials..
Question:	is anyone able to shed some light on what this tool's resolution might be? nothing is listed on this page by the manufacturer
Answer:	The scale is in 0.001 inches or 0.02 mm, so you should be able to read anything to the nearest thousandth of an inch or 2 hundredth of a millimeter.
Question:	Are these accurate and durable? How's the quality of construction
Answer:	An excellent buy for the money and well built. And yes they are accurate. Like any precision tool, they need to be handled carefully and kept clean. I've had mine for several months and having 40 plus years experience in machine shop, would recommend them. Are they as precision as a high end Mitotoyo? Probably not, but they don't cost $200 plus. So and excellent buy for the money.

User questions & answers

Question:	Should the caliper come pointing at 0? If not, how do i calibrate
Answer:	Set it to 0 before measurement
Question:	Is this coolant resistant
Answer:	I can't imagine that it would NOT be resistant to any automotive coolant. It might not hurt to rinse it off with plain water, if you expose it to one of the typical coolants. Doesn't that stuff get a little gummy when it dries?
Question:	is this metric or SAE scale
Answer:	Sae in 100th graduations
Question:	what is the diameter of the dial
Answer:	The dial outside diameter is about 1.5 inches.

User questions & answers

Question:	The System of Measurement listed above is metric. Isn't this model and English or inches model
Answer:	The details and description on this page indicates inches in both measuring range (0-6") and on the dial unit of measure indicated in the upper center of the dial (.001"). Both using the " symbol abbreviation for inches. I JUST ordered one of these and certainly hope it is not metric when it arrives. js
Question:	Is this American Made
Answer:	It says on their website that the only calipers made by Starrett are the 120 series. Everybody says it's disappointing, but why do you think they are so cheap? The 120's are like $200

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it true the roller wheel is stationary. ? does not move, Looking at the picture it looks like it does. This are useless
Answer:	The wheel moves with your thumb and allows for precise controllable pressure between the jaws that measures what is between them. Nice instrument as long as you receive the same one I purchased with a red case.
Question:	Is it true the roller wheel is stationary. ? does not move, Looking at the picture it looks like it does. This are useless
Answer:	Unfortunately, the roller wheel was stationary on the one I purchased in 2017 (Accusize P920-S214).
Question:	Made in USA
Answer:	Nope
Question:	Does this product have any certification paperwork
Answer:	I don't recall receiving any certification paperwork other than the advertised calibrated to 0.001". I would also point out that the "roller" is stationary, does not roll, and as a result it's more difficult to get accurate readings.

Product description

The Fowler Shockproof stainless steel dial caliper has dial graduations of 0.001" with 0.001" accuracy, shockproof anti-backlash control, a sliding jaw with a lock, and a covered rack. This caliper is used for measuring inside dimensions (ID), outside dimensions (OD), depth, and step. This product has a 1 year warranty offered by Fowler High Precision. If you experience any problem contact Fowler directly for warranty claims.

Shockproof spring anti-backlash control with a heavy-duty spring offers increased accuracy over standard gear configurations. Backlash is the amount of clearance between mated gear teeth in the caliper controls that prevents the gear teeth from jamming. It is undesirable to have much backlash due to the lack of precision offered by the increased amount of play between gears. Certain gear designs can minimize or eliminate backlash; spring anti-backlash systems use a spring to add a compressive force, thereby minimizing backlash.

This caliper has a knurled lock screw to hold the sliding jaw in position and help ensure a consistent measurement. A covered rack prevents dirt and debris from clogging the gear, and helps prevent measurement errors. A thumb-operated fine adjustment roller allows for one-handed use.

The caliper measures 0.10" per revolution of the dial. The dial has 0.001" graduations, and the beam has engraved 0.1" graduations. The hardened stainless steel components, including the beam, measuring surfaces, rack, gears, and depth rod, offer corrosion resistance, increased accuracy, and long life. Self-contained movement eliminates gear misalignment, while the dual pinion drive mechanism reduces wear on the rack and pinion. An adjustable dial enables setting zero. The hardened stainless steel is polished to a satin chrome finish, to help prevent glare. This caliper comes with a fitted case.

Dial calipers are measuring instruments commonly used for inspection in manufacturing to provide the precise measurements of an object. A pair of jaws attached to a long beam with a marked scale is used to measure inside, outside, and step measurements in standard or metric units. An additional depth probe slides along the beam to take depth measurements. One jaw is fixed to the end of the scale, while the other jaw slides along it to take measurements. A circular dial indicator is fixed to the movable jaw on a toothed gear rack that transfers movement of the jaws to the dial needle. The base measurement is taken from the long beam, which provides the initial whole measurement in inches or centimeters, and added to the dial reading, which provides fractional measurements in inches or millimeters. A locking mechanism provides the ability to take differential measurements for determining the difference in measurements between two objects. Compared to digital calipers, dial calipers are more durable, but are more susceptible to shock damage and prone to getting dirt in the gears, which can cause accuracy problems. Vernier calipers are more durable than dial calipers because they do not have internal moving parts, but they can be more difficult to read. Dial calipers are commonly used in fields such as metalworking, mechanical engineering, machining, and carpentry.

Fowler, an American company, manufactures inspection and measurement instruments such as electronic indicators, calipers, bore gages, and digital scales. The company, founded in 1946, is headquartered in Newton, MA.

Answer:	Measures lengths up to 6.5 inch. Tool is 9 3/8 inches long.
Question:	Does this caliper have a fine knife edge for measuring od of small groves? (i'm not talking about id
Answer:	There is a finer edge along the inside of the blades. How fine? Not sure if fine enough for your applications. Otherwise their a great set of calipers. I use the Fowler’s more often then my very expensive digital ones.
Question:	It's a Swiss style but doesn't read in mm's
Answer:	Does does not measure in metric.
