"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."
"Wide variety of sizes however small size gauge DOES NOT fit 5/16 hole."

The only thing you can't measure is wrist pins :) On smaller engines with journals smaller than 2" +- a few tenths (mitsubishi 2.0 rods, for example, if I recall correctly) you won't be able to fit this tool."
"I run a small hobby custom shop at home part time building rat rods, street customs, and do welding on the side. Old time boring bar, valve & seat grinder, etc."
"Once you get the resting size; the actual gauge reads very accurately in action and when subtracting the reading from resting size I was able to verify its high accuracy compared to a couple other gauges, telescoping gauges and mics."
"nice, works perfectly."
"worked great for the price."
"Tool is good for occasional use, but is a bit comber some with assembly for different diameters."
"If you received the item in a blue case rather than the red case as shown, you should send it back as I did."
"Other reviewers have reported a similar issue, saying they didn't need it so it wasn't a big deal."

"The only downside is the buttons are labeled differently than what the instructions show but with a little trial it was easy enough to figure out."
"Nice set and works well for the price."
""Repeatability" of measurements was difficult at first but after tightening up some loose parts the "repeatability" of measurements improved enough to be acceptable from a perfectionist type personality."
"Setup instructions are fine but they do assume you already understand high precision measuring tools."
"I like it works perfect .."
"Perfect for checking egg shaped cylinders on civic block."
"Returned item for refund."
