"First off, at this price you can't expect Brown & Sharpe or Starrett quality."
"Purchased this set to check the cylinder bores on a v-twin engine that needed rebuilding."
"They work pretty well in that the spring action is good and they lock down very well."
"A few were a little sticky right out of the package."
"They're not the quality of Starrett, but they're not the price of Starrett."
"Mostly met expectations...they continually shrank the dimension while tightening the thumb lock...so consistency was the saving grace...otherwise they never would lock onto the bore dimension for variable thumb screw tensions."
